13. A young primipara was admitted with a flexed breech.
Mother and baby did well.
14. This patient was sent in as a case of premature labour
having made no arrangements. A normal delivery followed, the
baby being vigorous and of a good size. Mother and baby both
did well.
15. This multipara was admitted for accidental ante-partum
hæmorrhage at about 33 weeks gestation. The mother's condition
was satisfactory. The baby was still-born.
16. This patient had made arrangements for her confinement
in Birmingham, but labour began a few days earlier than anticipated.
A normal delivery of a healthy baby followed with an
uneventful puerperium.
17. This case of retained placenta and severe post-partum
hæmorrhage was brought in by a general practitioner. A mild
pyrexia occurring about the third day of the puerperium was
caused by haemolytic streptococcus (Group A) so the patient was
transferred to Clayponds Hospital.
18. A multipara was admitted in advanced labour, she having
made no preparations at home, and the home being unsatisfactory
for the confinement to take place there. Delivery followed within
10 minutes of admission. The puerperium was uneventful and
mother and baby went home well.
19. An ante-natal patient was admitted for toxaemia. The
condition subsided with treatment. The patient was allowed to
go home to await the onset of labour.
