The procedure, sometimes called amniotomy, involves rupturing the amniotic membranes to speed contractions.
Their daughter, Neelu, was born at home on June 15 , 2011 shortly after Ms. Halweil drank a concoction of castor oil, pineapple juice, vodka and baking soda prescribed by her midwife to speed contractions.
He remembers thinking, "There's no way in the world I'm ready for this, but here's an opportunity and I'm going to try to evolve and take the leap".

The slope of this relationship is, however, generally less sizeable in fish whose sound production is based on a forced response of the swim bladder by the high-speed contraction of sonic muscles.
However, we think that the ultrastrucular features are sufficient to allow high-speed contractions.
To support our hypothesis, literature reports that very young fish larvae are also able to make high-speed contractions.
The comparison between epaxial and sound-producing muscles indicated clearly that the lower ratio of myofibrils in sonic muscles is related to the capacity for high-speed contractions.
On the basis of our results we cannot argue that the size of the muscle cells and the proportion of their components are the only characteristics allowing high-speed contractions in sonic muscles.
The fiber types can be distinguished by myosin-ATPase, oxidative enzyme histochemistry, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide tetrazolium reductase (NADH-TR) reactions [28], and are related to two distinct physiological parameters: speed of contraction and resistance to fatigue [29], [30].
Second, larger deformations require a larger speed of contraction, and more and more of the myosin-generated forces are wasted to overcome the internal friction with actin [ 41].
We initially hypothesized that aging-specific carbonylations, nitrations, and/or glycations in the myosin motor domain would compromise the myosin head binding to actin filaments subsequently resulting in a decreased speed of contraction and force production.
