Excerpt from Text Book of Midwifery, Vol. 2 of 2 Under some conditions, more particularly after premature rupture of the membranes, plugging the vagina (in this case with an india-rubber bag) is of great service; indeed owing to the counter-pressure which is thus exerted, it is also indicated where in spite of inefficient pains there is reason to fear a premature discharge of the liquor amnii. If the cervix dilates too slowly; if it offers a prolonged resistance, if the delay is caused by the escape Of too much liquor amnii, the cervix and the lower segment of the uterus 'may be dilated by means of Tarnier's or Barnes' bags (cf. Induction Of Premature Labour). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
