Perhaps giving drugs before Caesarean cases having stopped checking after unexpected baby (13). No letters in, yet, I'm afraid. I'd be grateful for any help.

Is it 'prem' as in 'premature' = unexpected baby?

unexpected baby = prem;
checking = editing?
cases = ca
Caesarean =?

Thanks to all.

I see now, the definition is 'Perhaps giving drugs before Caesaerean'.

Happy to have helped.
