Pregnancy sign shown in the photograph above represents Hegar’s sign.
Hegar’s sign is a non-sensitive indication of pregnancy in women — its absence does not exclude pregnancy. It pertains to the features of the cervix and the uterine isthmus. It is demonstrated as a softening in the consistency of the uterus, and the uterus and cervix seem to be two separate regions.
Hegar’s sign is seen earliest at 8 weeks POG.
