After exposing a pregnant rat to 200 Roentgens, over 200 times the amount of radiation in a normal X-ray, the mother bears offspring with malformed nervous systems. Researchers study the consecutive stages of the "new" rats' development, by performing Caesarean operations on mother rats at intervals of several days...
...death rate is three times that of normal-term babies. One reason: the placenta may shrink, so the fetus is forced to live off his own tissues and loses weight. At the same time, the difficulty of delivery increases, with more frequent breech presentations, use of mid-forceps and Caesarean section. While Dr. Nechtow warned the G.P.s against resorting lightly to drastic measures, he urged them not to hesitate to induce labor or do a Caesarean section if the examination convinces them that the time is overripe...
...shown the Fallopian tubes to be patent, and a Hühner test showed normal sperm survival at two hours. The patient said her last period began June 8, so by Naegele's rule, the confinement was due about March 15.

Later he jokingly told them: "You have all just incurred excommunication. But I shall...
Maternity Clothes. Her trouble, as the physicians analyzed it, sprang from her intense desire to be "a whole woman." At 13, she developed chronic diabetes. After her first marriage at 18, diabetes complicated the birth of her only child, who was delivered by Caesarean section. Married again at 19, the girl insisted on a second pregnancy against the wishes of both her physician and new husband. The result was a stillborn delivery in the fourth month, followed by the hysterectomy...
