此是恶阻病，必怒气所激，问之果然。肝气既逆，又挟胎气，参、术之补，大非所宜。教
以时用茯苓汤下抑青丸二十四粒，五帖，自觉稍安，诊其脉略有数状，自言口干苦，稍
食粥则口酸。予意其为膈间滞气未尽行，教全以川芎、陈皮、山栀、茯苓、生姜煎汤，下
抑青丸十五粒，十余帖，余证皆平，但食及常时之半，食后觉口酸，不食觉易饥。予谓
肝热未平，则以白汤下抑青丸二十粒，二十日而安。予又脉之，见其两手脉虽和平，而
左手弱甚，此胎必堕，此时肝气既平，参、术可用矣。遂用始初参、术等药补之，预防堕
胎以后之虚，服之一月胎自堕，却得平稳无事。抑青丸，一味黄连为丸是也。

这是恶阻病，必定是由怒气激惹所致，询问后确实如此。肝气已经上逆，又挟带胎气，人参、白术的补益作用，非常不适宜。教导她按时用茯苓汤送服抑青丸二十四粒，服用五剂后，自觉稍微安宁。诊察她的脉象略有数象，她自己说口干口苦，稍吃粥就觉得口酸。我推测是膈间的滞气尚未完全行散，教导她全用川芎、陈皮、山栀、茯苓、生姜煎汤，送服抑青丸十五粒，服用十余剂后，其余症状都平息了，只是进食量只有平时的一半，食后觉得口酸，不吃东西时容易感到饥饿。我对她说肝热尚未平复，就用白开水送服抑青丸二十粒，二十天后才安宁。我又诊察她的脉象，见两手脉虽然平和，但左手脉弱得很，这个胎儿必定会流产。此时肝气已经平复，人参、白术就可以使用了。于是用最初的人参、白术等药物来补益，预防流产后的虚损，服用一个月后胎儿自然流产，却得以平稳无事。抑青丸，就是单味黄连制成的丸药。
〔大全〕妊娠期间胎动不安，是由于冲任经脉虚弱，受孕不实造成的。也有因为饮酒或房事过度，损伤扰动导致不安的。有因误击触碰而导致胎动的。有因喜怒情绪不畅，损伤心肝，触动血脉的。有听信医生适宜服用温补药物，反而被药物伤害的。有因为母亲生病而导致胎动的，只要治疗母亲的疾病，胎儿自然安定。有胎儿不坚固，动荡波及母亲疾病，只应当安胎，母亲自然痊愈。应当根据母亲的面色和舌象来观察，如果面色红赤而舌质发青，是胎儿死亡而母亲存活。如果面色青暗而舌质红赤，口中流出泡沫，是母亲死亡而胎儿存活。如果嘴唇口角发青，两边嘴角流沫，是母子俱死。
〔薛己〕上述证候中，胎气郁滞的，使用紫苏饮。脾气虚弱的，使用六君子汤加紫苏、枳壳。郁结伤脾的，使用归脾汤加柴胡、山栀。郁怒伤肝脾的，使用四七汤加川芎、当归。怒动肝火的，使用加味小柴胡汤。如果胎儿已经死亡，急用平胃散加朴硝使其腐化排出。

This is the disease of nausea and vomiting during pregnancy (Ezu), which must be provoked by anger; upon inquiry, it was indeed so. Since the Liver Qi has rebelled upwards and is carrying the fetal Qi together, the tonifying effects of Ginseng Radix (Renshen) and Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu) are highly inappropriate. She was instructed to take Yiqing Wan (Suppressing Blue Pill) with twenty-four pills at a time using Poria Cocos Decoction (Fuling Tang), for five doses, after which she felt slightly relieved. Upon examining her pulse, it showed a slight rapidity (Shu). She stated that her mouth was dry and bitter, and after eating a little congee, she felt sourness in her mouth. I surmised that the stagnant Qi in the diaphragm had not yet fully dispersed. I instructed her to decoct Chuanxiong Rhizoma (Chuanxiong), Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium (Chenpi), Gardeniae Fructus (Shanzhi), Poria Cocos (Fuling), and Zingiberis Rhizoma Recens (Shengjiang) as a decoction, taking fifteen pills of Yiqing Wan with it. After more than ten doses, the other symptoms subsided, but she could only eat half of her usual amount, felt sourness in her mouth after eating, and felt easily hungry when not eating. I told her that the Liver Heat had not yet settled, so she should take twenty pills of Yiqing Wan with plain boiled water. It took twenty days for her to settle. I examined her pulse again and found that although both hands' pulses were harmonious, the left hand's pulse was extremely weak. This indicated that the fetus would inevitably miscarry. At this time, since the Liver Qi had settled, Ginseng Radix (Renshen) and Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu) could now be used. Thus, I used the initial formula containing Ginseng Radix (Renshen) and Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (Baizhu) to tonify, preventing deficiency after the miscarriage. After one month of服用 (taking medicine), the fetus naturally miscarried, yet she remained stable and uneventful. Yiqing Wan consists solely of Coptidis Rhizoma (Huanglian) made into pills.
[Daquan] Fetal movement insecurity during pregnancy arises from deficiency of the Chong and Ren meridians, resulting in an unstable conception. There are also cases caused by excessive drinking or sexual intercourse, damaging and disturbing the fetus. There are cases caused by accidental blows or contact leading to fetal movement. There are cases where joy, anger, or emotional stagnation damages the Heart and Liver, stirring the blood vessels. There are cases where patients believe doctors recommend warm tonification, but are instead harmed by the medication. There are cases where the mother's illness causes fetal movement; treating the mother's illness will naturally stabilize the fetus. There are cases where the fetus is insecure, moving and affecting the mother's health; stabilizing the fetus will naturally heal the mother. One should observe the mother's complexion and tongue: if the face is red and the tongue is cyanotic, the fetus is dead while the mother lives. If the face is cyanotic and the tongue is red, with foam coming from the mouth, the mother dies while the fetus lives. If the lips and mouth are cyanotic with foam flowing from both corners, both mother and fetus die.
[Xue Ji] For the aforementioned conditions involving stagnant fetal Qi, use Zi Su Yin (Perilla Decoction). For Spleen Qi deficiency, use Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) added with Zi Su Ye (Perilla Leaf) and Zhi Ke (Aurantii Fructus). For stagnation injuring the Spleen, use Gui Pi Tang (Restore the Spleen Decoction) added with Chai Hu (Bupleuri Radix) and Shan Zhi (Gardeniae Fructus). For depression and anger injuring the Liver and Spleen, use Si Qi Tang (Four Words Decoction) added with Chuan Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma) and Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix). For anger stirring Liver Fire, use Jia Wei Xiao Chai Hu Tang (Modified Minor Bupleurum Decoction). If the fetus is already dead, urgently use Ping Wei San (Calm the Stomach Powder) added with Po Xiao (Natrii Sulfas) to rot and expel it.
Yong Gu Yun Tang (Eternal Pregnancy Preservation Decoction): Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix), Chuan Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma), Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix) (each 5 fen); Dang Gui Shen Wei (Danggui Root Tip and Tail), Ren Shen (Ginseng Radix), Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Chen Pi (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium) (each 1 qian); Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (1.5 qian); Gan Cao (Licorice Radix) (3 qian); Huang Bo (Phellodendri Cortex) (a little); Sang Shang Yang Shi Teng (Mulberry Twig Eaten by Sheep) (seven round leaves); Nuomi (Glutinous Rice) (14 grains). The above ingredients are chopped, decocted in water, and taken orally.
[Jin Gui Yao Lue] Women during pregnancy should commonly take Dang Gui San (Angelica Powder) as the main treatment.
Dang Gui San: Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Huang Qin (Scutellariae Radix), Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix), Chuan Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma) (each 4 liang); Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma) (half jin). The above five medicines are pounded into powder, taken with wine using a square-inch spoon, twice daily. Commonly taking this during pregnancy facilitates easy delivery, ensures the fetus suffers no distress or disease, and treats various postpartum ailments.
For nourishing the fetus during pregnancy, Bai Zhu San (Atractylodes Powder) is the main treatment.
Bai Zhu San: Bai Zhu (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), Chuan Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma) (each 1 liang); Shu Jiao (Sichuan Pepper) (7.5 qian, processed to remove sweat); Mu Li (Ostreae Concha) (half liang). The above four medicines are pounded into powder, taken with wine using a coin-sized spoon, three times daily, and once at night. If pain is severe, add Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix). If there is severe pain in the epigastrium, double the amount of Chuan Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma). If there is heart irritability and pain, vomiting, and inability to eat, add Xi Xin (Asari Radix et Rhizoma) 1 liang and Ban Xia (Pinelliae Rhizoma) twenty large pieces; afterwards, take Vinegar Grain Water. If vomiting occurs, take Vinegar Grain Water; if still unresolved, drink Wheat Juice. If thirsty afterwards, take Barley Porridge. Even if the disease is cured, do not stop taking the medicine.
[Ji Yan Fang] Treats fetal movement insecurity and abdominal pain with bleeding from the second or third month up to the eighth or ninth month.
Ai Ye (Artemisiae Argyi Folium), E Jiao (Colla Corii Asini), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Chuan Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma) (each 3 liang); Gan Cao (Licorice Radix) (1 liang). The above are finely cut, decocted in eight sheng of water until three sheng remain, strained, and E Jiao (Colla Corii Asini) is added and melted. Divided into three doses, taken three times daily. [Qian Jin Fang], Wen Zhong, and [Bei Ji Fang] have the same formula.
Si Wu Tang (Four Substances Decoction) added with Shu Ai (Matured Mugwort Leaf), E Jiao (Colla Corii Asini), and Fu Ling (Poria Cocos) treats all types of fetal movement insecurity.
An Tai Dang Gui Tang (Fetus-Safeguarding Angelica Decoction) treats fetal movement insecurity due to sudden fright or movement in the fifth month of pregnancy, with bleeding in the lower abdomen, pain radiating to the waist and hypochondrium, painful urination, and vaginal bleeding. (See previous section on monthly fetal nourishment).
E Jiao San (Donkey-Hide Gelatin Powder) (two formulas) treats fetal movement insecurity due to falling or stumbling, with lower back pain, abdominal fullness, vaginal bleeding, or the fetus pressing upwards against the heart.
Shu Di Huang (Prepared Rehmanniae Radix) (2 liang); Bai Shao Yao (Paeoniae Radix Alba), Ai Ye (Artemisiae Argyi Folium), Dang Gui (Angelicae Sinensis Radix), Gan Cao (Licorice Radix), E Jiao (Colla Corii Asini), Huang Qi (Astragali Radix) (each 1 liang); one formula includes Chuan Xiong (Chuanxiong Rhizoma).
