"Kudziwa komwe ndi nthawi yanji yomwe nsomba zam'madzi zimakumana nazo, komanso ngati zimatero pawiri kapena mophatikizana, ndikofunikira kumvetsetsa mbiri ya moyo wawo komanso chilengedwe."

Asayansi adatsimikizira zomwe adawona pofufuza ndi ultrasound ndi mahomoni omwe adawonetsa kuti azimayi akukonzekera kutenga pakati. Ofufuza aku Florida adagwira nsomba zazikulu zazimuna ndi zazikazi nthawi zingapo, komanso m'malo ochepa.

"Zotsatira zatsopanozi zingathandize kuyesetsa kuteteza nsomba za nsomba panthawi zovuta, komanso zikuwonetsa kufunika koteteza malo osungiramo malo omwe amaonetsetsa kuti pakhale malo abwino, ndalama zothandizira kafukufuku, komanso lamulo lalikulu lomwe lathandiza kuti zitheke mpaka pano."
