Present: Edgar Cayce; Gertrude Cayce, Conductor; Gladys Davis, Steno. Mr. [790] and Mildred Davis.

TEXT

1. EC: Yes, we have the body, [575].
2. As we find, the conditions respecting the body are developing in a normal manner; the BODIES being normal, and unless changes occur the presentation will be normal.
3. The turning has begun, and at a full period - which will be in the next ten days - the son will be born.
4. There should be precautions as to the pressure or disturbance with the kidneys.
5. And in the diet there should be more of the milk and Milk of Magnesia; these will aid in these latter days in making for the better flow to the body and in relieving the pressures respecting the irritations in the intestinal tract, making for general conditions of a better nature.
6. As to the activities in caring for the body, those who have ministered in the general developments are very good, and unless accidents or other unforeseen conditions appear - that do not present themselves in the conditions as we find here - these will be most satisfactory.
7. Ready for questions.
8. (Q) Is there any special recommendation as to diet before the event?
   (A) As indicated, there should be more of the milk with lime, and Magnesia; these are the only additions as we find necessary.
   In those periods before the labor begins, the massage along the spine - over the kidney area, extending even to the lower lumbar - with equal parts Olive Oil and Tincture of myrrh (heating the oil and adding the myrrh) would EASE the body and, as we find, make for the better general reactions. Other than these, we find the conditions are very good.
9. (Q) How often would the massage be given?
   (A) Evenings, or when the body rests.
10. (Q) How should the milk of Magnesia or limewater be taken, and how much?
    (A) The limewater would be better in the milk, you see. To a glass full of milk add a level teaspoonful of limewater. The Milk of Magnesia would be taken a teaspoonful once or twice a day.
11. (Q) Are the medical and hospital arrangements that have already been made adequate?
    (A) As given, as we find, they are most satisfactory.
12. (Q) What special treatment, if any, should the mother have after the birth of the child?
    (A) As indicated, those special precautions regarding the activity of the kidneys. These are the only conditions as we find where there will need to be the extra care or attention. And as to what this would be, of course, depends upon the general conditions that surround the event, see?
13. (Q) Please give the date and hour as near as possible when we may expect the child?
    (A) As given, as we find, in due course or full time; which is, as given, in the next ten days - or at the regular period, you see.
14. (Q) What sex will the child be?
    (A) As given.
15. (Q) Approximate weight?
    (A) Eight - seven and a half to eight.
16. (Q) What name should the child bear through life?
    (A) Wilmer.
17. (Q) Any other counsel or advice at this time that will be of benefit?
    (A) Keep the attitudes for the mother in the manner in which there may be known that those who bring a soul into activity in the material world have those privileges, opportunities, for the giving of an expression of creative forces in an activative way and manner, that with the development of that soul in the material world may not only make for joy and peace and harmony in the experience of that soul but be an added condition for manifestations of God's love to the sons of men.
18. We are through for the present.
