Ginsberg's sign

Ginsberg's sign is a clinical indicator used to help diagnose preterm labor. It involves gently feeling the cervix during a pelvic exam; if the cervix is soft and opening before full term, it suggests preterm contractions and potential labor. This softness indicates that the cervix is beginning to prepare for delivery earlier than expected, providing health professionals with valuable information to manage pregnancy appropriately.
