So he is against giving tranquilizers to tired mothers. But he thinks there may be a place for tranquilizers in handling these cases: "Give them to the husband, children and puppies...
When babies stay in the womb too long, said Dr. Nechtow, the 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.
