(c) That homes where the growing difficulties and strain of a continually increasing family are leading to estrangement between husband and wife, are restored to happiness when saved from the difficult choice between continence, which they have never trained themselves to practice, or many children with which they cannot cope. keywords: bearing; children; classes; conception; control; individual; life; methods; women cache: 13906.txt plain text: 13906.txt item: #2 of 8 id: 26923 author: United States.

The symptoms of the child's death, which are usually enumerated as occurring _before_ labour, are, cessation of the child's movements; the abdomen undergoes no farther increase of size, but rather diminishes; the uterus has no longer the tense elastic feel of pregnancy, but becomes flaccid and moveable; the patient has a sensation of coldness and weight in the abdomen, so that when she turns from one side to the other, she feels as if a heavy weight rolled over to that part of the abdomen which is lowest; the breasts are flabby, and sometimes there is a fetid slimy discharge from the vagina. keywords: abdomen; action; appearance; blood; body; bowels; cases; cause; cavity; changes; character; child; circulation; circumstances; condition; contraction; convulsions; cord; course; degree; difficulty; direction; disease; effects; expulsion; extent; fact; fever; finger; foetus; forceps; form; fundus; general; great; hand; head; hæmorrhage; inflammation; labour; left; liquor; little; means; membranes; midwifery; moment; months; mother; nature; operation; os uteri; ovum; pain; parts; pass; patient; pelvis; period; placenta; point; portion; position; pregnancy; present; pressure; process; produce; pulse; quantity; right; second; size; species; state; subject; surface; symptoms; system; time; treatment; upper; uteri; uterus; vagina; vessels; viz; women cache: 40654.txt plain text: 40654.txt item: #7 of 8 id: 4986 author: Galbraith, Anna M.
