Answer:

5. Softening of the cervical tissue

Step-by-step explanation:

The Goodell sign refers to a probable sign of pregnancy, characterized by softening of the cervix. A positive Goodell sign occurs due to increased blood flow noticed in the cervix during the first 4 to 8 weeks of pregnancy, which can also give the vaginal part of the cervix a bluish appearance
