Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Auscultation of fetal heart sounds is the most definitive sign of pregnancy as it directly confirms the presence of a developing fetus. Positive Goodell's sign (softening of the cervix), quickening felt by the mother, and breast changes are all indicative of pregnancy but are not as reliable for diagnosis as confirmation of fetal heart sounds.
