Gestation.

It seems, if we may so use the metaphor, to have been the "destroying angel" of naturalized and injurious systematism, and has greatly assisted to substitue the innovation of the more truly elevating attainments of practical and useful pursuits; not merely intended to produce a book on a Greek word, but the discovery of a useful acid, an alert remedy , or hidden principle of the universe –combining the useful with the ornamental, the parturiency of the fruit with the flower.

In Night Song, Cara Henson, the teacher, becomes pregnant in her romantic relationship with Chase Jefferson, a cavalier soldier, but refuses to tell him about her parturiency.

A process or quality that brings forth something new.

The Woman, i.e. Church in her travelling State, may be considered, First, with respect to her Spiritual Parturiency, which great thing being effected powerfully and suddenly, by the abundant Grace of God poured forth upon her in Prayers and Supplications, it thence becomes an easy Birth, the Kindliness and Facility whereof thus expressed, Isa. lxvi. 7.

A phase in the therapeutic process in which feelings dominate over understanding, in which the client seems to relive emotions and to lack clarity.

If a parturiency is more disturbing and doesn't quickly return to nascence, the therapist may wish to indicate this to the client with some brief statement, such as "I'm feeling grumpy about something and I don't quite know what it is."

This highlights the necessity for the therapist to be alert for signs of parturiency, since if one is distracted or inattentive, one may miss these "doorways to feelings."
