Consider this famous example of a metaphor from Shakespeareâs âAs You Like Itâ: All the worldâs a stage, And all the men and women merely players. In this example, the world is the primary subject, and it gains attributes from the stage (ie, from theater).
What is precipitate labour? Precipitate labour is the medical term for fast labour. Your labour will be described as precipitate if your baby is born within three hours of your contractions starting (NCCWCH 2008, Sheiner et al 2004). About two in 100 women whose labours have started naturally will have a fast, or precipitate, labour (NCCWCH 2008).
Preterm labor can lead to a premature birth, which poses many risks to a baby. Doctors may try to delay preterm labor with medications called betamimetics. Terbutaline is a type of betamimetic used to stop contractions and delay the labor process. It may be injected into the skin or given through a vein in the arm.
