（即子痛）
张仲景说：妇女怀孕后，腹部出现各种疼痛，用当归芍药散主治。《脉经》记载：妇女怀孕腹痛，若孕妇心神不安，如果胎儿病变不动，想要知道胎儿的生死情况，让人用手触摸腹部，如果摸起来像倒扣的杯子那样圆润，则是男胎；如果摸起来像手肘和颈部那样高低不平、参差起伏，则是女胎；如果腹部发冷，是死胎（所谓“何面”，意指在腹部的左右两侧），发冷的为死胎，温暖的为生胎。
薛己说：如果腹部不时作痛，或小腹有沉重下坠感，称为胎痛，用地黄当归汤治疗；如果无效，加入人参、白术、陈皮（气虚者可以使用）；如果是因脾气虚弱引起的，用四君子汤加当归、熟地黄；如果是中气虚弱，用补中益气汤。

以上药物研成细末，每次服用三钱，用紫苏汤调服。（妙在用紫苏汤送服）
《大全》说：妊娠期间小腹疼痛，是由于胞络虚弱，风寒邪气相互搏结，疼痛剧烈也会导致胎动不安。
薛己说：上述证候如果是被风寒邪气所搏结，用紫苏饮加生姜；如果是气血虚弱，用八珍汤；如果是脾气虚弱，用六君子汤；如果是中气虚弱，用补中益气汤；如果出现腹胀痛，用安胎饮加升麻、白术，如果无效，兼用补中益气汤。
有一位孕妇小腹作痛，胎气不安，气机攻冲左右两侧，有时逆气上冲，小便不利，用小柴胡汤加青皮、山栀，清泻肝火而痊愈。后来因为发怒，小腹胀满，小便不利，尿道有重坠感，胎气仍不安定，这也是肝木火盛所致，用龙胆泻肝汤一剂，所有症状顿时痊愈，随后用四君子汤加柴胡、升麻，以培补脾土从而安胎。

(Ji Zitong - Sub-pain)
Zhang Zhongjing stated: When a pregnant woman experiences various types of abdominal pain, she should be treated with Danggui Shaoyao San (Angelica and Peony Powder). The *Mai Jing* (Pulse Classic) records: If a pregnant woman suffers from abdominal pain and feels restless, to determine the viability of the fetus if it appears inactive, one should palpate the abdomen. If it feels like an inverted cup (smooth and round), it is a male fetus; if it feels uneven, resembling the protrusion of elbows or necks, it is a female fetus. If the area is cold, it indicates a dead fetus (the term "He Mian" refers to the left and right sides of the abdomen); coldness signifies death, while warmth signifies life.
Xue Ji stated: If there is intermittent abdominal pain or a sensation of heaviness and bearing down in the lower abdomen, it is called Taipain (Fetal Pain). It should be treated with Dihuang Danggui Tang (Rehmannia and Angelica Decoction). If there is no improvement, add Renshen (Ginseng), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala Rhizome), and Chenpi (Tangerine Peel) (suitable for Qi deficiency); if caused by Spleen Qi deficiency, use Sijunzi Tang (Four Gentlemen Decoction) added with Danggui and Shudihuang; if caused by Middle Qi deficiency, use Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction).
Dihuang Danggui Tang treats Taipain during pregnancy. (Excellent for pain due to Blood deficiency.)
Danggui (1 liang) Shudihuang (2 liang)
Grind the above into powder. Take as a single dose, decoct with 3 sheng of water until 1 sheng remains, strain, and take in one go. If ineffective, add Renshen, Baizhu, and Chenpi.
Jiawei Siwu Tang treats Taipain due to insufficient Blood.
Danggui Chuanxiong Baishyaoh Shudihuang Xiangfuzi (each in equal proportions)
Grind the above into powder. Take 3 qian per dose, mixed with Zisu Tang (Perilla Leaf Decoction). (The efficacy lies in using Zisu Tang.)
*Daquan* states: Lower abdominal pain during pregnancy is caused by deficiency of the Bao Luo (Uterine Collaterals), where Wind-Cold pathogens clash. Severe pain may also cause fetal movement.
Xue Ji stated: For the aforementioned conditions, if caused by Wind-Cold clashing, use Zisu Yin (Perilla Infusion) added with Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger); if due to Qi and Blood deficiency, use Bazhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction); if due to Spleen Qi deficiency, use Liujunzi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction); if due to Middle Qi deficiency, use Buzhong Yiqi Tang; if accompanied by abdominal distension and pain, use Antai Yin (Fetus-Calming Infusion) added with Shengma (Cimicifuga Rhizome) and Baizhu. If ineffective, combine with Buzhong Yiqi Tang.
A pregnant woman suffered lower abdominal pain with unstable fetus, Qi attacking the left and right sides, occasional rebellious Qi rising upward, and difficulty urinating. She was treated with Xiaochaihu Tang (Minor Bupleurum Decoction) added with Qingpi (Green Tangerine Peel) and Shanzhi (Gardenia Fruit) to clear Liver Fire, resulting in recovery. Later, due to anger, she experienced lower abdominal distension and fullness, difficulty urinating, a heavy dragging sensation in the urinary tract, and continued fetal instability. This was also caused by excessive Liver Wood Fire. One dose of Longdan Xiegan Tang (Gentiana Decoction to Drain the Liver) cured all symptoms immediately. Subsequently, Sijunzi Tang added with Chaihu (Bupleurum Root) and Shengma was used to nourish Spleen Earth and calm the fetus.
Formula for treating lower abdominal pain during pregnancy: Treats pregnancy complicated by fright and irritation, downward instability of the fetus, lower abdominal pain radiating to the lower back, and vaginal bleeding.
Danggui Chuanxiong (each 8 fen) Ejiao (roasted) Renshen Aye (each 4 fen) Fuling (1 qian) Dazao (20 pieces)
Cut finely. Decoct with 5 sheng of water to obtain 3 sheng. Take warm, divided into three doses.
Supplementary Formula: Treats lower abdominal pain during pregnancy with unstable fetus.
Chuanxiong ground into fine powder, taken with wine. Another prescription uses equal parts of Chuanxiong and Danggui decocted and taken orally.
