Answer to Question 1

A
Increased vascularity of the pelvic organs during pregnancy results in the bluish color of the cervix, vagina, and labia, called Chadwick's sign.
Softening of the cervix is Goodell's sign.
The softening of the lower segment of the uterus is (Hegar's sign) and can allow the uterus to be flexed against the cervix.
Chadwick's sign is a probable sign of pregnancy.

Answer to Question 2

B
Nausea and vomiting are believed to be caused by increased levels of hormones, decreased gastric motility, and hypoglycemia.
Gastric motility decreases during pregnancy.
Glucose levels decrease in the first trimester.
Gastric secretions do decrease, but this is not the main cause of nausea and vomiting.
