Richardson speaks of a woman falling down a few weeks before her delivery.

Her pelvis was roomy and the birth was easy; but the infant was found to have extensive wounds on the back, reaching from the 3d dorsal vertebra across the scapula, along the back of the humerus, to within a short distance of the elbow.

Part of these wounds were cicatrized and part still granulating, which shows that the process of reparation is as active in utero as elsewhere.
Injuries about the genitalia would naturally be expected to exercise some active influence on the uterine contents; but there are many instances reported in which the escape of injury is marvelous.

Gibb speaks of a woman, about eight months pregnant, who fell across a chair, lacerating her genitals and causing an escape of liquor amnii.
There was regeneration of this fluid and delivery beyond term.

The labor was tedious and took place two and a half months after the accident.
