SUMMARY

1. Rav Chisda discusses the law in the case of a woman who miscarried a hand or foot.
 
2. If a baby extends his hand or foot out and then withdraws it, the woman is considered to have given birth.
 
3. The Mishnah discusses what law applies to a woman who gives birth to a Tumtum or Androginus.
 
4. Rav discusses the question of whether discharges of a Tumtum or Androginus are Tahor.
 
5. If a Tumtum or Androginus sees both discharges of a Tamei man and a Tamei woman, the law is different.

A BIT MORE

1. While the Beraisa states that she is deemed Tamei and we do not suspect that it came from a "closed body" which would not render her Tamei, she does not observe the days of Taharah which a woman normally observes after birth. This is because we suspect that she may have emitted other body parts earlier and her Tahor days have already passed.
 
2. The Gemara concludes that she is Tamei mid'Rabanan, but she does not observe any days of Taharah after these days of Tum'ah have passed. Days of Taharah are observed after the days of Tum'ah only when the baby was actually born, or at least most of it was born.
 
3. The Mishnah says that she must suspect that the child might be a girl and that it might be a boy. Accordingly, she observes a short period of Taharah (like after the birth of a boy) and a long period of Tum'ah (like after the birth of a girl).
 
4. If a Tumtum or Androginus sees a white or red discharge, he is not liable for entering the Beis ha'Mikdash afterward, and one would not burn Terumah if he touched it. This is because we are unsure about whether this discharge is a Tamei discharge for him.
 
5. If a Tumtum or Androginus sees both red and white discharges, he still is not liable for entering the Beis ha'Mikdash afterward, but one would burn Terumah if he touched it.
