parturient

There was some laughing at the parturient mountain and the still-born mouse, but a graver cheerfulness was the reigning emotion.

This might be done by the force of certain external conditions operating upon the parturient system.

Applied to the breasts of parturient women it dries up the milk and in the same way tends to reduce any glandular enlargement.

In former years, puerperal fever took the lives of from five to fifty of each one hundred parturient mothers.

It was an Arab custom in certain places to build a hut outside the camp, where the parturient woman had to stay for a time.
