 A sense as of something rising in the throat, or as she expresses it, as if her breast were coming up into her mouth (seventh day). Great difficulty in swallowing (first day); it nearly took away her breath (fourth day).

Great nausea, with straining and retching (seventh day). Excessive nausea and disposition to vomit (sixth day). Excessive retching, nausea, and straining to vomit (fourth day).
 Abdomen.
 Abdomen sore to touch, or very sensitive to pressure (seventh day). вearing-down sensations in the lower abdomen, with outward pressure in the genital organs and sense of weakness in the limbs (after half an hour, first day); periodical return, but each day with diminished force (second and third days). Excessive bearing-down pains, with pressure outwards towards vulva, from the whole lower abdomen, accompanied by almost unendurable pains in the back, drawing down from the upper sacral spine, extending also to the epigastrium and stomach; these pains had all the characteristics of true labor pains, returning, if she remained at rest, with regular periodicity, but greatly aggravated by the least movement; she lay on the floor upon a small mattress, from which she could not be removed, so great was the aggravation from every motion, until the following day (seventh day). Intolerable bearing-down pains, like labor pains, which had continued through the day, recur now every few minutes and extend to the stomach and back; these pains are periodical if perfectly at rest, but recur at every movement of the chest or lower limbs; pain in the back is especially seated in the sacral spine, near the upper vertebra, dragging down from that point to the uterus; at 6 o’clock (seventh day). The least food or drink taken into the stomach greatly increased the pain in the abdomen and the nausea (seventh day).
 Stool.

 Bearing-down pains, with pressing outward in the utero-vaginal region, accompanied by a feeling of weakness in the limbs, so that she could scarcely stand; these pains continued severe for about an hour, when they gradually subsided (after one hour, fourth day); occasional return of the same symptom till the next day, but with diminished force. Uterine troubles nearly the same as yesterday (fifth day); bearing down pains greatly increased, with nervous weakness (sixth day). With some difficulty, she informed me that she was laboring under suppression (seventh day).
