The following case is related by Mr. George Semple: Mrs. B——,
wife of John Breward, Simpson Green, near Idle, aged forty-nine, the
mother of nine children, the youngest of whom is twelve years old,
lost a daughter-in-law about a year ago, who died in about a fortnight
after giving birth to her first child. On her death, Mrs. B. took charge
of the infant, a little puny sickly baby. The child was so fretful and
uneasy, that Mrs. B. after many sleepless nights, was induced to
permit the child to take her nipple into its mouth. In the course of
from thirty to thirty-six hours she felt very unwell; her breasts
became extremely painful, considerably increased in size, and soon
after, to her utter astonishment, milk was secreted, and poured forth
in the same abundance as on former occasions, after the birth of her
own children. The child, now a year old, is a fine, thriving, healthy
girl, and only a few days ago I saw her eagerly engaged in obtaining
an apparently abundant supply of healthy nourishment, from the
same fountain which, nearly twenty years ago, poured forth its
resources for the support of her father.”[16]
Quickening.
There is only one other symptom which I think it useful to notice,
that is quickening; by which is meant, the first sensation experienced
by the mother of the life of the child within her womb.
The first time this motion of the child occurs, the sensation is like
that of the fluttering of a bird within her, and so sudden that she
frequently faints, or falls into an hysterical paroxysm. A day or two
passes by when it recurs. It afterwards increases both in frequency
and degree, until the movements of the child are fully recognised.
It is proper that a female should be informed that the period when
quickening takes place is very uncertain; for an impression is
popularly prevalent that it always occurs exactly at the end of four
calendar months and a half. This is not the case; it varies in different
women, and in the same women during different pregnancies, as the
following one or two instances will prove:—
Mrs. F——. Quickened with her first child at four months:
quickened with the second at fourteen weeks: and is now in her third
pregnancy, and reckons from the fourteenth week again.
Mrs. B——. Has had seven children, and with all felt the motion of
the child for the first time at the third month.
Mrs. Mc M——. Has been several times pregnant; seldom feels
movements of the child at all until the sixth month, and not strongly
till the eighth.
The annexed table of the periods of quickening of seventy cases
taken in the order in which they have been entered in the author’s
note-book, will forcibly stamp the truth of these opinions:
9 Quickened at the 3d month.
11 Quickened at 3½ months.
21 Quickened at the 4th month.
16 Quickened at 4½ months
8 Quickened at the 5th month.
1 Quickened at 5½ months.
4 Quickened at the 6th month.
