Dr. Hamilton says, " mani- festly under three inches. " Burns says, it is universally agreed that a living child, at the full time, cannot pass through a pelvis whose conjugate diameter is only 2^ inches. DEATH OF THE FOeTUS IN UTERO. 163 we are able to trace. We know that a child may die in utero from affections of the mind in the woman. The death of the child may be known by shivering fits, preceded by a sense of coldness in the abdomen. Whilst the child is alive, it assists in supporting its... on n heat ; but when dead, it neces- sarily must obtain a degree of heat from the parts around, which explains the sense of coldness felt. The breasts, while the child is alive, increase and continue firm and well supported ; but when the child dies, they immediately be- come flaccid and empty. So that a woman frequently used to miscarriage, will foretel its approrxh by this alone. While the child is alive, it gives the sensation of a living weight, a weight which is capable of adapting itself to the different positions of the mother ; but when death deprives it of this power, the woman feels it flap from side to side, according to the way in which she moves.
