译文：在产房内部，四季都要保持寒温适中，如果太热或太冷，都不适宜。夏季必须保持清凉，不要让环境炎热，导致产妇中暑昏迷；如果有这种情况发生，可以适当给少量凉水解暑。冬季必须保持温暖，不要让环境寒冷，以免导致血液凝滞引发难产。应当多准备火炉，让产妇的腰部、背部和下身靠近火源烘烤。这是临产家庭及医生都应当知道的常识。

人语喧哗产母惊，心虚气怯号惊生，急须止静休嘈杂，产母心安胎自宁。
译文：周围人声喧哗会让产妇受惊，这种因心神虚弱、气息怯懦导致的惊恐性分娩称为“惊生”，必须立即停止喧闹，消除嘈杂声音，产妇内心安宁了，胎儿自然也会平静。

【注】妊娠八九个月时，或腹中痛，痛定仍然如常者，此名试胎，宜养血以安其胎。若月数已足，腹痛或作或止，腰不痛者，此名弄胎，不宜轻动。二者均非正产之时，切勿躁扰疑惑，惟宜宁静以待其时。
译文：妊娠八到九个月时，有时腹部疼痛，疼痛停止后依然像平常一样的，这叫“试胎”，适宜通过养血来安胎。如果月份已经足月，腹部疼痛时有时无，但腰部不痛的，这叫“弄胎”，不适宜轻易扰动。这两种情况都不是真正分娩的时候，千万不要急躁干扰或产生疑惑，只应保持宁静等待时机。
Pregnancy approaching labor requires composure; although abdominal pain occurs, do not panic. Extend the body and lie supine to allow fetal rotation, quietly waiting for delivery without haste.
[Note] When pregnancy reaches full term and labor is imminent, if one feels fetal movement and abdominal pain, one must remain composed and avoid self-induced panic. Extending the body and lying supine, while occasionally taking slow steps, helps correct the fetal position. Wait quietly; when the time for birth arrives, natural smooth delivery will occur without urgency.
The temperature of the delivery room should be appropriate; extreme cold or heat is always unsuitable. Summer requires coolness, winter requires warmth; both the patient and the physician must know this.
[Note] Inside the delivery room, the temperature must be moderate in all four seasons. If it is too hot or too cold, it is inappropriate. In summer, it must be cool to prevent the parturient from suffering from heatstroke and fainting; if this occurs, a small amount of cool water may be given to relieve it. In winter, it must be warm to prevent blood stasis leading to difficult labor. Many fire stoves should be prepared so that the parturient's waist, back, and lower body can be warmed by the fire. This is knowledge that families awaiting childbirth and physicians alike should possess.
A midwife for labor must be selected in advance; she should be mature, experienced, and astute. Without cause, do not instruct her to use manual techniques; instead, advise calmness and patience until the time of birth.
[Note] Families in labor must employ a midwife, who must be selected in advance as someone mature, experienced, and knowledgeable. Without valid reason, do not let her perform manual interventions beforehand, such as testing waters or examining amniotic fluid. Simply instruct her to maintain calmness and patience, waiting for the time of birth.
Noisy conversation startles the parturient; deficiency of heart qi and timidity are termed "startled birth" (Jing Sheng). It is urgent to stop noise and cease clamor; when the mother's mind is at peace, the fetus naturally becomes tranquil.
[Note] There should not be too many people in the delivery room. Too many people lead to noisy chatter, which necessarily startles the parturient. Startle causes heart qi to become deficient and timid, often leading to exhaustion at the time of labor, termed "startled birth." In such cases, irrelevant persons must be quickly removed, leaving only one or two servants, ensuring silence without noise. Then the mother's mind can settle; once settled, the fetus also becomes tranquil.
Abdominal pain before full term, with return to normal after pain subsides, is named "testing fetus" (Shi Tai); abdominal pain near term without lumbar pain, occurring intermittently, is named "playing fetus" (Nong Tai). Neither is a sign of true labor; one must remain calm and free from doubt.
[Note] During the eighth or ninth month of pregnancy, occasional abdominal pain that returns to normal after subsiding is called "testing fetus"; nourishing blood to calm the fetus is appropriate. If the months are full, abdominal pain occurs intermittently but there is no lumbar pain, it is called "playing fetus," and should not be lightly disturbed. Neither represents the time of true labor; one must not be restless or doubtful, but rather remain calm and wait for the proper time.
