（附论）
夫妇人妊娠常胎动不安者。有冲任经虚。胞门子户受胎不实故也。并有饮酒房室过度。
有所损动不安者。巢氏云。妇人冲任二经。挟风寒而有胎。故不以日月多寡。因误有击触而
胎动者。有喜怒不常。气宇不舒。伤于心肝。触动血脉。冲任经虚。乃致胞门不固。或因登
高上厕。风攻阴户。入于子宫。如此皆令胎动不安也。或妊妇月信不绝。而胎不损者何。盖
妇人血盛气衰。其人必肥。既娠之后。乃信常来。而胎不动。若误以漏胎治之。则胎必堕。
诚有此也。又云妇人经闭不利。别有所苦者。是谓有子。以其经血蓄之以养胎。拥之为乳汁
也。有子之后。畜以养胎矣。岂可复能散动耶。所以然者。盖有娠而月信复至。是亦未必因
血盛也。谓妇人营经有风。则经血喜动。以其风胜则可也。既营经为风所胜。则所来者非养
胎之血。以此辨之。亦作漏胎治之。必宜用保养补胎之药。且胎不损。强以药滋之。乃所谓
实实虚虚也。其胎终堕宜矣。若医者知营经有风之理。专以一药治风。经信可止。或不服药。
胎亦无恙。然而有胎本不固或因房室不能节。先漏而后堕者。须作漏胎治之。此又不可不审
也。亦有妇人年方壮岁。致服补暖之药。而使胞门子户反为药所燥搏。使新血不滋。旧血不
下。设或有子。不以迟晚则必堕。中年之后。气宇渐衰。必有崩中带下之疾。或月信愆期。
渐觉黄瘦。腰背不伸。五心烦热。五劳七伤之疾。从此而生。不独胞门子户风寒而生也。故
千金翼方有朴硝荡胞汤。止为此疾。今之医者。未见有用。又论妊娠胎动。其由有二。一因
母病而胎动。但疗母疾。其胎自安。若胎不坚固。致动以病母者。唯当安胎。其母自愈。一
因劳役气力。或触冒冷热。或饮食不节。或居处失宜。轻者转动不安。重者便致伤堕。当以
母形色察之。母面色赤舌青者。儿死母活。唇口青。两边沫出者。母子俱死。面青舌赤。口
中沫出者。母死子活也。
人云孕妇不语非病也。间有如此者。不须服药。临产月但服保生丸、四物汤之类。产下
便语。得亦自然之理。非药之功也。医家不说与人。临月则与寻常之药。产后能语。则以为
功。岂其功哉。按素问黄帝问曰。人有重身九月而喑此为何也。岐伯对曰。胞之络脉绝也。
帝曰何以言之。岐伯曰。胞络者。系于肾。少阴之脉贯肾。系舌本。故不能言。帝曰治之奈
何。岐伯曰。无治也。当十月复。
又云。妊娠将养得所。则血气调和。故儿在胎则安。当产亦易。若节适失宜。则血气乖
理。儿在胎则亟动。至产育亦难。而子上逼于心者。由产难用气力。胎动气逆。胎上冲逼于
心者。凡胎上逼于心则闷绝。胎下乃苏。甚者至死也。
又曰妊娠之人有宿挟 疾而后有娠。或有妊时节适乖理。致生疾病。并令脏腑衰损。气
力虚羸。令胎不长。故须服药去其疾病。益其气血以扶养胎也。夫妊娠羸瘦。或挟疾病。脏
腑虚损。气血枯竭。既不能养胎。致胎动而不坚固。终不能安者。则可下之。免害妊妇也。
又云妊娠胎动有因母病以动胎。有因胎动以病母。二者皆不得安也。母病则先治其母。
胎自安矣。胎病则先治其胎。母自安矣。间有误食毒物起居不慎。气疾为梗。寒热更作。胎
漏血下。皆致胎动。又宜随所因以调护之。

（附论）
如果妇女妊娠期间经常胎动不安，是因为冲任二经虚弱，胞门子户受胎不实所致。也有因为饮酒或房事过度，有所损伤导致胎动不安的。巢元方说：妇女的冲任二经挟带风寒而受孕，所以不论怀孕月份多少，因误受击打触碰而导致胎动的，有喜怒无常、气机郁结不畅，损伤心肝，触动血脉，冲任二经虚弱，致使胞门不固；或者因为登高、上厕所时，风邪侵袭阴户，进入子宫。像这些情况都会导致胎动不安。有的孕妇月经持续不断，但胎儿未受损，这是什么原因呢？大概是因为妇女血盛气衰，身体必定肥胖，怀孕之后，月经照常来潮，而胎儿不动。如果错误地当作漏胎治疗，那么胎儿必然流产。确实有这样的情况。又说：妇女月经闭止不通利，若有其他痛苦症状的，这叫做怀孕。因为经血蓄积起来用来养胎，充盈起来变成乳汁。既然已经怀孕，经血蓄积用来养胎了，怎么还能再散动呢？之所以这样，大概是因为怀孕后月经又来潮，这也未必是因为血盛。说是妇女营经有风，则经血喜欢妄动，因为风邪胜的缘故。既然营经被风邪所胜，那么流出来的就不是养胎的血，据此辨别，也当作漏胎治疗，必须使用保养补益胎儿的药物。况且胎儿未受损，强行用药滋补，这就是所谓的“实实虚虚”（使实证更实，虚证更虚）。其胎儿最终流产也是应该的。如果医生知道营经有风的道理，专门用一种药治风，月经就可以停止，或者不服药，胎儿也无恙。然而有的胎儿本来就不稳固，或因房事不能节制，先出现漏胎然后流产的，须按漏胎治疗。这又不可不仔细审察。也有妇女正值壮年，却服用补暖的药物，致使胞门子户反而被药物燥热搏结，使新血不能滋生，旧血不能下行。假使有孕，不是延迟就是必然流产。中年以后，气机逐渐衰弱，必然会有崩漏、带下等疾病，或者月经延期，渐渐觉得面色黄瘦，腰背僵硬不伸，五心烦热，五劳七伤的疾病，从此产生。不只是胞门子户因风寒引起的。所以《千金翼方》中有朴硝荡胞汤，正是为了治疗这种病。现在的医生，未见有人使用。又论及妊娠胎动，其原因有二：一是因母亲生病而导致胎动，只要治疗母亲的疾病，胎儿自然安定；若是胎儿不坚固，导致胎动进而危害母亲的，只应当安胎，母亲自然痊愈。二是因劳累用力，或触犯冷热之气，或饮食不节制，或居住环境不当，轻者转动不安，重者便导致损伤流产。应当根据母亲的面色形态来观察：母亲面色红赤、舌青的，是儿死母活；唇口青紫、嘴角流出白沫的，是母子俱死；面色青紫、舌赤、口中流出白沫的，是母死子活。
有人说孕妇不说话不是病。偶尔有这种情况的，不需要服药，临产月份只需服用保生丸、四物汤之类的药物，产后就会说话，这也是自然之理，并非药物的功效。医家不说给人听，临月时给服寻常药物，产后能说话，就认为是自己的功劳，这哪里是功劳呢？按《素问》黄帝问道：人有身怀双胎九月而失音的，这是为什么呢？岐伯回答说：胞宫的络脉闭塞了。黄帝说：为什么这样说？岐伯说：胞络系于肾，少阴肾经贯穿肾脏，系连舌本，所以不能说话。黄帝说：治疗怎么办呢？岐伯说：不要治疗，等到十月分娩后自然会恢复。
又说：妊娠期间调养得当，则血气调和，所以胎儿在胎内则安宁，分娩也容易。如果节制适宜失当，则血气紊乱，胎儿在胎内则频繁躁动，到分娩时也困难。至于胎儿上逼于心，是由于分娩时用力过猛，胎动气逆，胎气上冲逼迫心脏。凡胎气上逼于心则昏厥窒息，胎气下降才苏醒，严重的甚至死亡。
又说：妊娠之人原本就有宿疾而后怀孕，或者有孕期时节调适违背常理，导致产生疾病，并令脏腑衰损，气力虚弱羸弱，致使胎儿不长。所以需要服药去除疾病，补益气血以扶养胎儿。如果妊娠妇女身体羸瘦，或者夹杂疾病，脏腑虚损，气血枯竭，既不能养胎，导致胎动而不坚固，最终不能安定的，则可以攻下，以免伤害孕妇。
又说：妊娠胎动有因母亲生病而动胎的，有因胎动而病母的，这两种情况都不能安宁。母亲生病则先治母亲，胎儿自然安定；胎儿有病则先治胎儿，母亲自然安定。间或有误食毒物、起居不慎，气机阻滞，寒热交替发作，胎漏下血，都导致胎动。又应当根据病因进行调护。
方剂
通灵散（出自医学类证）治疗妊娠三个月左右，胎动不安。男女阴阳交会贯通，血气调匀，才形成妊娠。假如出现下血腹痛，大概是因为子宫长久寒冷，血海虚弱羸弱，致使胎儿堕落。其危险程度甚于正常分娩。如果妊娠曾遭受这种痛苦，可以预先服用通灵散养胎。
人参、附子（炮制）、熟地黄、木香（煨制）、白术、干姜、牡丹皮、白芍药、陈皮（去白）、薯蓣、黄芪（蜜炙）、甘草（炙制）、川芎。以上各等分研为细末。每次服用二钱，用水一盏，糯米四十九粒，煎至八分，去掉米粒，温服。每日两次。忌食一切毒物。另一版本无人参。
保生丸（出自危氏方）治疗妊娠调理失宜，或劳累导致胎动不安，腰腹痛，胞阻漏胎，恶露时下，或者子宫夹杂疾病，长久不能成胎，或者受孕后不能固养，痿弱干燥不长，过年不生产，月份虽满，转动无力，或者导致损伤流产，以及临产时节调适不当，惊动太早，产期未到，恶露先下，胎胞枯燥，致使难产，或者横位逆位，痛极昏乱，连日不生产，子死腹中，腹部冰冷，口唇青黑，吐出冰冷白沫，新产后恶血上充，晕闷不省人事，喘促汗出，以及瘀血未尽，脐腹疼痛，寒热往来，或者因产程劳损，虚弱羸弱未恢复，面色黄身体瘦，心悸盗汗，饮食不进，渐渐成为蓐劳。八月常服，壮气养胎，正顺产理，润胎易产。产后常服，滋养血气，和调阴阳，密腠理，实腑脏，治风虚，除痼冷一切疾病。
麻仁（去壳一两）、当归（半两微炒）、干姜（炮制）、肉桂（去皮）、石斛（去根）、秦椒（去目闭口者炒出汗）、石膏（研如粉）、黄芩、糯米、贝母、甘草（炙赤）、大豆黄卷（各一钱）。以上研为末，炼蜜制成弹子大小的丸药。每一丸用温酒枣汤化开送下。空腹嚼服也可以。方中使用黄芩、麻仁性寒的药物，人们怀疑不服用，殊不知妊娠中有风，风中有热，风热既静，其胎必固。黄芩能去子热，麻仁能去子风。也可以服用参苓白术散。另一版本用蒲黄一两。（参苓白术散方见大方科胃腑门胃虚冷类）
安胎饮
大腹皮（洗）、人参（去芦）、陈皮（去白）、白芍药、当归（中截）、川芎（炒）、香附子（炒）、缩砂（炒）、紫苏（茎叶）、赤茯苓（去皮）、甘草（炙，各等分）。以上锉碎，灯心草七茎，糯米半撮，同煎服。仍以猪肉配合橹圣功散食用。仍服神功散解热毒。如治漏胎，加阿胶、百草霜。

加减安胎饮（出自危氏方）凡是妇人白天睡觉不起，梳洗打扮疲倦，干恶心择食，怕闻饭气，只嗜咸酸，月经已明确。气血弱者，宜服此方。兼进脾药安胎温养，令母脏气平和，阴阳全备，避免有损伤流产的祸患。盛者受胎，母亲无病罢了。温胎保养的药剂，恐怕不适合。此方兼治胎动不安，腹痛漏下。
党参（去芦）、嫩黄芪（去芦）、芍药、大川芎、熟地黄（酒洗切焙）、粉草、川续断（去芦）、侧柏叶（炒）、阿胶（麸炒）、当归（去尾，各等分）。以上每次服用四钱，水一盏半，生姜三片，金银煎煮。如漏下不止，加熟艾一握。如胎动口噤，唇青，下利不止，用熟艾一两，酒三盏煮至二盏，去滓，灌服即安。
桑寄生散（出自澹寮方）治疗妊娠胎动不安，下血不止，胎漏，经血妄行。
答曰：妊娠成形，胎息未实，或因房室惊触，劳力过度，从高坠下，重物所压，伤动胞胎，或食毒物，致使子宫虚滑，经血淋沥。若不急治，败血凑心，子母难保，日渐胎干，危亡不久。

If a woman frequently experiences restless fetus during pregnancy, it is due to the deficiency of the Chong and Ren meridians, resulting in an unstable conception in the Baomen Zihu (uterus). There are also cases caused by excessive alcohol consumption or sexual intercourse, leading to damage and fetal restlessness. Chao Yuanfang stated: When the Chong and Ren meridians of a woman carry wind-cold during conception, regardless of the number of months pregnant, if the fetus becomes restless due to accidental blows or touches, this may be accompanied by irregular emotions, stagnation of Qi mechanism, injury to the Heart and Liver, disturbance of blood vessels, deficiency of the Chong and Ren meridians, causing the Baomen to be insecure. Or, when climbing high or using the toilet, wind pathogen invades the Yin aperture and enters the uterus. All such conditions cause fetal restlessness. In some cases, a pregnant woman's menstruation continues without stopping, yet the fetus remains undamaged. What is the reason? Generally, women with abundant blood and deficient Qi tend to be obese. After conception, menstruation may continue normally while the fetus remains stable. If mistakenly treated as threatened abortion (Lou Tai), the fetus will inevitably miscarry. Such cases do exist. It is also said that if a woman has amenorrhea but suffers from other discomforts, this indicates pregnancy. This is because menstrual blood accumulates to nourish the fetus and transforms into milk. Once pregnant, the blood is stored to nourish the fetus; how can it scatter and move freely? The reason is that menstruation returning after conception is not necessarily due to abundant blood. It is believed that if there is wind in the Ying (Nutrient) meridian, menstrual blood tends to flow recklessly due to the dominance of wind. Since the Ying meridian is overcome by wind, what flows out is not the blood meant for nourishing the fetus. Based on this differentiation, it should also be treated as threatened abortion, requiring herbs to preserve and tonify the fetus. However, if the fetus is undamaged but strong tonification is forced upon it, this constitutes "reinforcing excess and depleting deficiency" (Shi Shi Xu Xu). The eventual miscarriage would be justified. If a physician understands the principle of wind in the Ying meridian and uses a specific herb to treat the wind, menstruation may stop, or even without medication, the fetus remains safe. Nevertheless, if the fetus was originally unstable due to unregulated sexual activity, presenting first with spotting and then miscarriage, it must be treated as threatened abortion. This requires careful examination. Some women in their prime take warming and tonifying herbs, causing the Baomen Zihu to become dry and constrained by the heat of the medicine, preventing new blood from generating and old blood from descending. If pregnancy occurs, it will either be delayed or result in inevitable miscarriage. After middle age, Qi mechanism gradually declines, leading to disorders such as metrorrhagia, leukorrhea, irregular menstruation, sallow complexion, stiffness of the waist and back, five-palm heat, and diseases of Five Exhaustions and Seven Injuries. These arise not only from wind-cold in the Baomen Zihu. Therefore, *Piao Xiao Dang Bao Tang* (Plumbum Polytmetallatum Uterus-Cleansing Decoction) in *Qianjin Yi Fang* is specifically for such ailments, though modern physicians rarely use it. Regarding fetal restlessness, there are two causes: one is maternal illness causing fetal restlessness; treating the mother's illness will naturally stabilize the fetus. The other is an unstable fetus causing harm to the mother; stabilizing the fetus will naturally heal the mother. The second type includes restlessness due to overexertion, exposure to cold or heat, irregular diet, or improper living environment. Mild cases involve slight movement and discomfort, while severe cases lead to injury or miscarriage. One should observe the mother's complexion and tongue: red face and blue tongue indicate dead fetus and living mother; blue lips and mouth with foam at the corners indicate death of both mother and fetus; blue face and red tongue with foam in the mouth indicate dead mother and living fetus.
Some say that a pregnant woman's silence is not a disease. Occasionally, this occurs and requires no medication; simply taking *Bao Sheng Wan* (Preserve Life Pill) or *Si Wu Tang* (Four Substances Decoction) near delivery allows speech to resume postpartum, which is natural law, not the merit of medicine. Physicians often claim credit for this, administering ordinary herbs near term and attributing postpartum speech recovery to their skill, which is unjustified. According to *Su Wen*, the Yellow Emperor asked: Why does a woman carrying twins lose her voice in the ninth month? Qibo replied: The collaterals of the uterus are obstructed. The Emperor asked why. Qibo explained: The uterine collaterals connect to the Kidney; the Shaoyin meridian passes through the Kidney and connects to the root of the tongue, hence the inability to speak. The Emperor asked how to treat it. Qibo said: No treatment is needed; it will recover after ten months.
It is also stated that proper care during pregnancy harmonizes Qi and Blood, ensuring fetal stability and easy delivery. Improper regulation disrupts Qi and Blood, causing frequent fetal movement and difficult labor. Fetal pressure on the Heart results from excessive effort during delivery, causing Qi rebellion and upward thrust of the fetus against the Heart. This leads to fainting and suffocation until the fetus descends; severe cases may result in death.
Furthermore, if a pregnant woman has pre-existing chronic diseases or fails to regulate her lifestyle during pregnancy, leading to illness and organ depletion, causing weak Qi and emaciation, thereby hindering fetal growth, medication is required to remove the disease and tonify Qi and Blood to support the fetus. If a pregnant woman is emaciated, complicated by illness, with depleted organs and exhausted Qi and Blood, unable to nourish the fetus, resulting in persistent fetal restlessness and instability that cannot be stabilized, purgatives may be used to prevent harm to the mother.
Regarding fetal restlessness, it can be caused by maternal illness affecting the fetus, or by fetal issues affecting the mother; neither situation allows for peace. If the mother is ill, treat the mother first, and the fetus will stabilize. If the fetus is diseased, treat the fetus first, and the mother will recover. Occasionally, mistaken ingestion of toxic substances, careless daily life, Qi obstruction, alternating chills and fever, or vaginal bleeding (Lou Tai) cause fetal restlessness. Treatment should follow the cause.
Formulas
**Tong Ling San** (Source: *Yi Xue Lei Zheng*) treats fetal restlessness around three months of pregnancy. Male and female Yin and Yang intersect, and Qi and Blood harmonize to form pregnancy. If vaginal bleeding and abdominal pain occur, it is likely due to long-term coldness of the uterus and deficiency of the Blood Sea, leading to miscarriage, which is more dangerous than normal delivery. Women who have suffered this can take *Tong Ling San* prophylactically to nourish the fetus.
*Ren Shen* (Ginseng Root), *Fu Zi* (Prepared Aconite Lateral Root), *Shu Di Huang* (Prepared Rehmannia Root), *Mu Xiang* (Aucklandiae Radix, baked), *Bai Zhu* (Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma), *Gan Jiang* (Dried Ginger), *Mu Dan Pi* (Moutan Cortex), *Bai Shao Yao* (White Peony Root), *Chen Pi* (Citri Reticulatae Pericarpium, white part removed), *Shu Yu* (Dioscoreae Rhizoma), *Huang Qi* (Astragali Radix, honey-fried), *Gan Cao* (Licorice Root, fried), *Xiong* (Ligustici Chuanxiong Rhizoma).

Answer: When the fetus forms but respiration is not solid, trauma from sex, shock, overexertion, falling from heights, or heavy pressure can injure the fetus. Ingestion of toxins can cause uterine laxity and dripping blood. Untreated, stagnant blood affects the Heart, endangering mother and fetus, leading to fetal drying and imminent death.

One version adds *Mu Xiang*; another excludes *Chuan Xiong*, named *Qi Bao San*. Once, a woman failed to deliver despite various催产 drugs. I diagnosed fear-induced Qi stagnation. *Su Wen* states: Fear causes Qi to sink. Fear retreats essence, blocking upper Qi, causing return and lower Qi stagnation. This formula worked. For *Zi Xuan* at 6-7 months, it is effective within 10 doses. Note: Fear retreats Yang essence, blocking upper Jiao, causing Qi stagnation and distension in lower Jiao. Case: In Dingwei June, Lady Huang, 7 months pregnant, returned from travel, suddenly experienced fetal thrust to heart, pain, restlessness. Two doctors failed, diagnosing dead fetus, applied castor bean paste with musk to navel to induce expulsion, patient critical. Pulse at both Chi positions was deep and absent; others normal. Doctors claimed dead fetus based on absent Chi pulse. I diagnosed *Zi Xuan*. Signs of dead fetus: red face/blue tongue (fetus dead, mother alive); blue face/red tongue/foam (mother dead, fetus alive); blue lips/tongue (both dead). Her face was not red, tongue not blue, so fetus alive. Pain thrusting to heart is *Zi Xuan*. Prescribed *Zi Su Yin*. Ten doses moved fetus down. Leg/body edema resolves postpartum naturally; if persistent, eat mung beans.
