2. Positive Chadwick's sign.
3. Positive Hegar's sign.
4. Positive Goodell's sign.

Rationale: Chadwick's sign is the bluish discoloration of the cervix and vagina seen in pregnant women secondary to the increased blood flow to the area. It is not an indication of cyanosis, but actually the exact opposite, with increased oxygen to the pelvis.
