Maternity - Signs (Chadwick's, Goodell's & Hedger's)
-
0Jan 21, '04 by colleen10Hi eveybody!
I am studying Maternity right now.
Does anyone out there have a snappy way to remember that;
Chadwick's Sign is of the vagina
Goodell's Sign is of the Cervix
and Hedger's Sign is of the lower uterus?
Perhaps a mneumonic or something?
Let me know if you have any ideas. I know what it is but can't remember where they are

Goodel's: G is for gooey; Goodels sign checks for softening of the cervix, it becomes almost a gooey texture.
Hedger's: Makes you scream"HEY", It hurts because the uterus is being manipulated to check for tilting.
Hope this helps, My maternity teacher taught us these.

This is how I would remember them:
Chadwick = wick = tampon into the vagina
Goodell = good = It's good to have a cervix at the top of the wick
Hedger = hedge = the lower uterus is the hedge over the cervix
Silly, but it worked for me in school.
