Chadwick's Sign

Chadwick's Sign is a medical indicator observed during pregnancy. It refers to the noticeable change in color of the cervix and vaginal walls, which can turn a bluish or purplish hue. This change is due to increased blood flow and vascularity in the area as the body prepares for pregnancy. Chadwick's Sign typically appears around the sixth week of gestation and can be an early sign that a woman may be pregnant. Healthcare providers might look for this sign during examinations to help confirm pregnancy.
