Mrs. R——, ætat. 27, married eight years. Was first unwell when eighteen
years of age, and continued to be so regularly until she became
pregnant, two years from the time of her marriage. She suckled her first
child for eleven months; soon after she became unwell, and continued so
until she quickened with her second child; a circumstance which she had
not the slightest suspicion of, for there was no perceptible difference
either in the quantity or appearance of the monthly discharge. During
the remaining months of gestation she did not see anything; she
afterwards suckled her little one for ten months; and then was obliged
to wean the child, having an attack of the cholera. She continued from
this time regular for two years; but meeting with a fall, much to her
surprise, two or three days after, miscarried of a four months’ child.
She is now pregnant again, having been regular every month till she
quickened, and expects to be confined, Feb. 1836.
In this case then, the female was unwell in two pregnancies till the
period of quickening; and in the other for four months, when miscarriage
took place from accident.
And lastly, it may occur through the _whole_ period of pregnancy.
Mrs. F—— is now pregnant for the third time. In her first pregnancy the
monthly returns appeared for three periods, regular as to time, and in
quantity and appearance as heretofore. During the second child-bearing,
at every month till confinement. During the third—her present
pregnancy—for three months only. This patient is always unwell while
nursing.
Mrs. J——, now in her eighth pregnancy. Was unwell every month throughout
the first six pregnancies; but the quantity always slightly diminished.
In the seventh, the same circumstances occurred; but premature labour
was this time induced, between the sixth and seventh months, by a fall.
During the present pregnancy she has not seen anything. Is always unwell
while suckling.
Mrs. P—— is in her fourth pregnancy. In the first three was unwell, at
her regular periods, to the time of confinement. The discharge the same
in quantity, but rather lighter appearance. Has been unwell in her
pregnancy every month up to the present time.[12]
The following case proves how important it is that this fact should be
generally known; for up to a very late period, some medical men have
even denied the possibility of this occurrence.
