凡妇人虚羸,血气不足,肾气少弱,或当风取冷太过,心下有淡水者,欲有胎便喜病阻。
何谓欲有胎?其人月水尚来,颜色肌肤如常,而沉重愦闷,不用饮食,不知其患所在,脉理
顺时平和,则是欲有胎也。如此经二月日后,便常不通,即结胎也。
阻病者,患心中愦愦,头重眼眩,四肢沉重懈堕,不欲执作,恶闻食气,欲啖咸酸果实。
多卧少起,世谓恶食,其至三四月日已上皆大剧,吐逆,不能自胜举也。此由经血既闭,水
渍于脏,脏气不宣通,故心烦愦闷,气逆而呕吐也。血脉不通,经络否涩,则四肢沉重,挟
风则头目眩也。觉如此候者,便宜服半夏茯苓汤,数剂后将茯苓丸。淡水消除,便欲食也。
既得食力,体强气盛,力足养胎,母便健矣。古今治阻病方有数十首,不问虚实冷热长少殆
死者,活于此方。

凡妇人身体虚弱消瘦,血气不足,肾气亏少且弱,或者因贪凉受风过度,导致心下有停饮(水液代谢失常形成的病理产物),想要怀孕时便容易患病阻碍。
什么叫想要怀孕?其人月经尚且正常来潮,面色肌肤如常,但感到身体沉重、头昏脑胀、胸闷不适,不想进食,不知道病痛所在,脉象随季节变化而平和,这就是想要怀孕的表现。像这样经过两个月后,月经便经常不通畅,这就形成了胎孕。
妊娠恶阻病,表现为心中烦乱郁闷,头重眼眩,四肢沉重懈怠无力,不想劳作,厌恶闻食物的气味,想吃咸酸的水果。多躺卧少起身,世人称之为“恶食”,到了三四个月以上症状大多加剧,出现呕吐逆反,身体虚弱到无法支撑举起。这是由于经血已经闭止,水湿浸渍于脏腑,脏气不能宣通,所以心烦闷乱,气机上逆而呕吐。血脉不通,经络阻滞涩滞,则四肢沉重;兼夹风邪则头目眩晕。觉察到这些征候的,应当立即服用半夏茯苓汤,服几剂后再服用茯苓丸。待停饮消除,便能想进食了。既然获得了饮食的营养,体力增强,气血旺盛,精力足以滋养胎儿,母亲也就健康了。古今治疗恶阻病的方剂有几十首,不问虚实冷热老少几乎濒死的,靠这个方子都能救活。

共十二味药,用水一斗,煮取三升,分三次服用。如果恶阻病积累日月不得治愈,以及服药时寒热失当,病情转变为客热,出现烦渴、口生疮的情况,去掉橘皮、细辛,改用前胡、知母各二两。如果变为寒冷腹泻,去掉干地黄,用桂肉二两。如果进食少,胃中虚而生热,大便闭结寒凝,小便赤少,适宜加大黄三两,去掉地黄加黄芩一两,其余药物依照原方。服用一剂得下后,根据情况斟酌调整,气力寒热变化,再增减方药,调定后服用一剂汤药,紧接着将茯苓丸,使其能进食,身体强健。

For any woman who is physically weak and emaciated, with insufficient blood and qi, deficient and weak kidney qi, or who has excessively exposed herself to wind and cold, resulting in the retention of fluid (pathological accumulation of fluids) in the epigastrium, she will likely suffer from pregnancy obstruction when attempting to conceive.
What is meant by "attempting to conceive"? The person's menstruation still comes regularly, complexion and skin appear normal, but she feels heavy, dizzy, and stifled, lacks appetite, does not know where the pain lies, and her pulse is smooth and peaceful according to the season. This indicates an attempt to conceive. After two months in such a case, menstruation usually ceases, indicating that conception has occurred.
Pregnancy obstruction disease manifests as mental restlessness and oppression, heavy head and dizzy eyes, heaviness and flaccidity of the four limbs, unwillingness to work, aversion to the smell of food, and a craving for salty, sour fruits. She lies down much and rises little; this is commonly called "aversion to food." Symptoms become severe after three or four months, with vomiting and inability to support oneself. This occurs because menstrual blood has closed, water dampness infiltrates the zang organs, and their qi fails to circulate freely, causing mental restlessness and oppression, rebellious qi leading to vomiting. When blood vessels are blocked and meridians are obstructed and stagnant, the four limbs feel heavy; if accompanied by wind, the head and eyes become dizzy. Upon perceiving these signs, one should immediately take Banxia Fuling Tang (Pinellia and Poria Decoction), and after several doses, follow with Fuling Wan (Poria Pills). Once the retained fluid is eliminated, appetite returns. With adequate nutrition, physical strength increases, qi and blood flourish, providing sufficient energy to nourish the fetus, and the mother becomes healthy. There are dozens of formulas in ancient and modern times for treating obstruction disease; those near death regardless of deficiency, excess, cold, or heat can be saved by this formula.
Banxia Fuling Tang treats pregnancy obstruction with mental restlessness, empty烦 (restlessness without cause), vomiting and rebellion, aversion to food smells, heavy head, painful and heavy sensations in all joints of the four limbs, and excessive lying down.
