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).
Precipitous labor is more likely to occur in women who have had more than one child. Precipitous labor may cause fetal distress. Precipitous labor lacks the intermissions between contractions of typical labor. Precipitous labor occurs when the total amount of time spent during labor and birth is three hours or less. Precipitous labor may lead to postnatal depression. Precipitous labor can be caused by cocaine use during pregnancy.
