乌头（一枚）细细捣碎。加水三升，煮至剩余二升左右。逐渐涂抹于脐下及阴部。胎儿应当立即产出。
用醋炒过的黄牛粪，敷在肚腹上。用布捆扎固定即可排出。此方又名立圣丹，治疗横生倒产、胎死腹中。
将赤石脂（二两，生用）与另二两赤石脂一同研成细末，加入朱砂（五钱）再次研磨，颜色如深桃花色。每次取三分，用井水调稀米浆，制成糊状，用纸剪成杏叶大小，贴在脐心。待干后更换，不超过三次，即可分娩。
用中指蘸取锅底黑煤，在婴儿足心画一个“交”字，即刻顺产。或者用盐和面粉涂在婴儿双足下，即可顺产。也可以用盐涂在婴儿脚上，用指甲搔抓，并用盐按摩母亲腹部，即可顺产。如果是手足先出的难产，用真正的灶心土涂抹……
临产时小肠先脱出，不可用醋喷产妇面部，恐怕惊吓导致神气涣散。宜先用产妇的发梢或纸捻插入鼻孔引起喷嚏……将脱出的肠子放入漆器中，用黄柏煎汤温热浸泡，自然收回。另外用蓖麻子（四十九粒）去壳研烂，敷在产妇头顶心。待肠子完全收回后，立即擦去药物，不要拖延。（此方必须在胞衣排出后方可使用，但不如前一种方法稳妥）。还有产后肠子不收，用葱汤或枳壳汤浸泡，均可。
用四焰灯（一盏内用四个灯头）加朱砂放入盏内点燃，即可安神。（所谓四焰，是指一盏灯中有四个灯头）。临产晕厥，不省人事，可用生半夏捣成丸药，如豆大，纳入鼻中。（或研成粉末吹入鼻腔，打喷嚏后即可苏醒）。又感觉头晕……系一根六尺长的绳子在产妇右脚膝盖上方，让人抓住两头急拉，使其苏醒，然后慢慢解开。
用葱白煎浓汁清洗下部，胞衣即下。或者取丈夫的单衣盖在井口上，胞衣立即排出。或者在堂屋正梁上砍三下，胞衣即下。或者取皂荚末塞入鼻孔，打喷嚏后即排出。或者黑豆（煎煮数滚），用布蘸温熨烫脐腹，并浓敷之，衣自下。或者蓖麻子（十四粒去壳）……排出后迅速将药洗去，久留恐怕肠子脱出。如果肠子已经脱出，仍用此药敷在囟门上。拖延时间，胎死而胞衣不出，上抢心胸者，急取蚁垤土（三升）炒热，用袋子盛装熨烫心胸，效果良好。（以上为临产急救方）
Aconitum carmichaelii (one piece) is finely pounded. Add three sheng of water and boil until two da sheng remain. Gradually rub this liquid on the area below the navel and the genitalia. The fetus should be expelled immediately.
Cow dung from a yellow cow, stir-fried with vinegar, is applied to the abdomen and secured tightly with cloth for expulsion. This formula is also known as Li Sheng Dan (Establishing Sage Pill), treating transverse or breech presentation and fetal death in utero.
Chi Shi Zhi (Red Halloysite, two liang, raw) is ground into a fine powder together with another two liang of Chi Shi Zhi. Wu Sha (Cinnabar, five qian) is added and ground again until the mixture resembles the color of deep peach blossoms. Take three fen per dose, mix with thin rice gruel from a well to form a paste, apply onto paper cut into apricot-leaf size, and paste it on the center of the umbilicus. Replace when dry; no more than three times are needed for delivery.
Use the middle finger to dip soot from the bottom of a cooking pot and draw a "Jiao" (cross) character on the infant's sole for immediate normal delivery. Alternatively, apply a mixture of salt and flour to both soles of the infant for normal delivery. One may also apply salt to the infant's feet, scratch them with fingernails, and massage the mother's abdomen with salt for normal delivery. For cases where limbs present first, apply genuine Zao Xin Tu (Furnace Hearth Earth)...
During labor, if the small intestine prolapses first, do not spray vinegar on the woman's face, as fear may scatter the Shen (Spirit). Instead, insert the tip of the parturient's hair or a paper twist into the nostril to induce sneezing... Place the prolapsed intestine in a lacquerware vessel and soak it in warm decoction of Huang Bo (Phellodendron Bark) until it retracts. Additionally, remove the shell from Bi Ma Zi (Ricini Semen, forty-nine grains), pound into a paste, and apply to the vertex of the parturient's head. Once the intestine has fully retracted, wipe off the medicine immediately; do not delay. (This formula must only be used after the placenta has been expelled, but is less safe than the previous method). For postpartum intestinal prolapse, soaking in Cong Tang (Scallion Decoction) or Zhi Qiao Tang (Aurantii Fructus Decoction) is effective.
Light a Si Yan Deng (Four-Flame Lamp, meaning one lamp holder with four wicks) containing Zhu Sha (Cinnabar) in a cup to calm the spirit. For syncope during labor with loss of consciousness, make pills of Sheng Ban Xia (Raw Pinellia Rhizome) the size of beans and insert them into the nose. (Alternatively, grind into powder and insufflate into the nose; consciousness returns upon sneezing). For dizziness... Tie a six-chi rope around the upper part of the parturient's right knee. Have someone pull both ends sharply to restore consciousness, then slowly untie it.
Wash the lower part with strong decoction of Cong Bai (Scallion White); the placenta will be expelled. Alternatively, cover a well with the husband's single garment; the placenta will be expelled immediately. Or strike the main beam in the hall three times; the placenta will be expelled. Or insufflate Mo Jiao (Gleditsia Sinensis Fruit) powder into the nostrils; the placenta will be expelled upon sneezing. Or boil Hei Dou (Black Soybean) for several boils, soak a cloth in the warm liquid to compress the umbilical and abdominal area, and apply thickly; the placenta will be expelled. Or use Bi Ma Zi (Ricini Semen, fourteen grains, shelled)... After expulsion, wash off the medicine quickly; prolonged contact may cause intestinal prolapse. If the intestine has already prolapsed, still apply this medicine to the fontanelle. Delay leads to retained placenta after fetal death, with upward rushing sensation to the heart. Urgently take Yi Die Tu (Ant Hill Soil, three sheng), heat it, place in a bag, and compress the chest. Effective. (Above are emergency formulas for labor)
