Early Pregnancy Symptoms - Vaginal Changes

Early in pregnancy, around two weeks after your period was due, your vagina will take on a blueish or purplish colour.

Although you may not notice this, on examination, if deemed necessary, your GP will probably be aware of a blueish/ purple tinge to both your vagina and cervix.

Known as Chadwick's sign, this is the result of an increased blood flow in the area.

You cervix and vagina will also be softer than normal (Goodells sign).
