My comment:

Clara--After quite a bit of research, I couldn't find "ambros" as a root word in either Spanish or English. I think it may be a misspelling (or if it's handwritten) a misreading of "amnio". "Toco" simply refers to the uterus, and "tono" to muscle contractions, so I don't think they need to be translated (too repetitive with "involuntary contractions and movements".
