石氏 洒淅恶寒，呕吐，绝谷汤饮不下者，四旬余，奄奄沉困，身冷而阳垂绝。诊之脉伏，沉候似无，
予断为胎，其家疑未信。予谓此恶阻之重者，胎无疑也。夫胞宫血聚，气不下行，必至浊阴上犯，阻塞阳和，
呕逆厥冷，非姜附无以通阳泄浊。其翁惧热药胎堕，予曰∶经云有故无殒，保无忧也。先与热姜汁，继和以
米汁，呕吐止。进附子理中汤加制半夏，二剂身温，嗣用异功散加砂仁，煨姜，五服而安，至期产一女。
郑氏 寒热咳痰，食减经阻，医谓损怯，进补剂。中满呕哕，恶闻食气，烦晕善惊。更医以为肝风，
用和营镇惊。延及神色困惫，时或晕绝，举家惶惑，请临诊一决。予曰∶此胎脉，右尺已动滑，勿药可也。
（经云，阴搏阳别，谓之有子。言阴搏于下，阳别于上，气血调和，即胎脉也。《脉诀》云∶尺内不止真胎妇，
尺脉绵绵不绝为胎结也。）无已，姑用益阴和阳，白芍、柏子仁、茯神、甘菊（炒）、枣仁、炙草、小麦、
桑叶、南枣。四服渐安，后生一子。
某氏 经闭成块，疑为瘀，腹痛猝崩。医云∶瘀滞未浮，用攻消药，淋胀日甚。予谓∶瘀血既行，理
无作胀。诊脉阳虚而阴搏，知妊娠血漏。用七味阿胶散，加白芍、木香、杜仲、续断，血止胀消，后果孕产。
此安胎止漏，兼畅脾摄血，胀痛自除。盖
妊娠下血，名曰胎漏，多由闪挫损伤胞络致之。若转用攻伐再动新血，益加虚痛作胀，直至堕胎方悔耳。
魏氏 经止两月，腹痛胀，食减夜热。医谓经闭，用通利药，血下不止。更医见同，用牛膝、红花、
炮姜、枳壳，漏益甚，腹加痛胀，头晕腰疼，烦热不寐。予诊之，觉尺脉搏指，两寸独别，胎脉也。但热久攻
伐药多，恐损动胎元，且致胞系不固耳。用香附（童便制）、白芍（炒）行气和血以除痛胀，蒲黄（炒黑）、
荆芥（醋制）止血而除晕，杜仲（酒炒）、阿胶（水化）、熟地（炒）固肾以摄下，茯神、麦冬、枣仁（炒）
安神以止烦。一服症减而思食，胎如指堕，前方去白芍、阿胶、蒲黄、麦冬，加楂肉、当归（醋炒）、炙草、
莲子，数服乃安。
谢氏 孕逾三月，男女分形，病者漫谓血 ，治者误行攻伐，致血下注胎堕，身热汗烦，眩晕不寐。
索方乃桃仁、牛膝、莪术、红花等剂，明晨更加生楂肉。予见骇甚，询之，则曰胎堕，未便告知。婉云∶瘀血
已行耳，医尚未知所下男胎也，因叹庸手杀人，殊堪发指。急以参、 、茯神，固摄元气，佐以炙草、
荆芥（醋炒）、阿胶（烊）、麦冬、五味、牡蛎（醋 ）、龙眼肉，红枣，数服汗收血止。
汤氏 孕四月，胎漏鲜红，系伤胞络。辄用芩芍苎根汤，转致腹痛泄泻。据脉候虚缓，本非火迫络伤
致漏，宜温补弥隙自安。仿胶艾汤，海螵蛸、阿胶、杜仲、茯苓、杞子、艾绒、续断、炙草、砂仁。数服而安。
眭氏 孕五月屡堕，翁商之，予谓孕逢五月，足太阴脉养胎，想脾血素亏耳。若获孕，先二三月预服固
摄之剂。用胎元饮，参、苓、术、草、地、芍、归、陈、杜仲、续断、砂仁、菟丝、芡实、姜、枣，水煎，
每月服五七剂。胎遂固，生一子，仅绵一线，后竟不孕。
薛氏 孕六月，因劳便红，头微眩，此肠风宿恙，因热伤阴分而成。用白芍、地榆（俱酒炒）、当归、
荆芥（俱醋炒）、山栀（炒）、茯神、炙草、阿胶（酒化）、侧柏叶（捣），水煎，三服而瘳。
侄女 孕七月，久泄泻，肛坠足肿，吐咳，腹微痛，晡寒热如疟，脉弦，右尺滑大。此中气下陷，土衰
木乘。以补中益气汤减归、 ，加砂仁、制半夏、茯苓、煨姜，数服痛坠寒热俱减。
因其肠胃久滑，不戒荤茹，泄泻仍作。加谷芽（炒）、茴香、炮姜等味而安。
酆氏 孕七月余，与夫口角，为面杖所伤。左胁大痛，下部如裂，胎气上逼，撑拒欲死。服妇科药，
入咽格格不下，喘吼待毙而已。诊之脉洪数无伦，体如烙，面如赭，察其唇舌未变青紫，知胎未损，慰之曰∶
幸母子俱无恙也。用牛膝、苏梗、栝蒌、红花（各二钱）、归尾、枳壳（各钱半）、降香（锉三钱）、丹皮（一钱）。
煎服喘止痛定热退，进粥碗许，随用顺气安胎之剂而平。
族女 孕八月，因劳吐红，鲜紫成盆。火升则呛咳，颧赤少寐，口不知味。服童便、阿胶不止，诊脉左
寸关大，两尺俱伏，此君相之火逼伤阳络，必得火降呛咳平，红自止。用生地、山栀、连翘、白芍、杏仁、贝
母、百合、茯神、甘草、莲子、灯芯、阿胶（烊），三服咳稀血止安寐矣。后用熟地、当归、白芍、杜仲（盐水炒）、
杞子（焙）以实下元，尺脉亦起。
吕氏 将产腹痛血下，脉短滑，左虚芤。予谓∶脉未离经，决非正产。右关短滑，系食滞，腹痛见红由
触损，但须行气补血。用红米曲、陈皮、楂肉，利气消滞，以当归、白芍，和血定痛，逾两旬乃产。
某氏 过期不产，按月经行，事所或有。今述孕已两载，兼见乳汁腹大不产，计欲攻堕，然细诊却非
产脉，须知漏卮不塞，孕何由成。且万无攻坠之理，虽属怪症，应以常法主治，惟明理者知之。方用熟地、
潞参、当归、白芍、白术、炙草、杜仲、杞子、续断、砂仁、广皮、莲、枣，此以气摄血之剂，多服则漏止
胎长，接服二十剂，又逾八九月而产。
石氏，出现战栗恶寒、呕吐，完全无法进食饮水四十多天，身体极度虚弱困顿，四肢冰冷，阳气即将衰竭。诊察其脉象沉伏，重按似乎无脉。我判断为妊娠，家属怀疑并不相信。我说这是严重的恶阻（妊娠呕吐），胎儿无疑。因为胞宫气血汇聚，气机不能下行，必然导致浊阴之气上逆侵犯，阻塞阳气运行，出现呕吐逆气、四肢厥冷，非用干姜、附子不能通阳泄浊。她的公公害怕热性药物导致流产，我说：《内经》讲“有故无殒”，即有病则病受之，不会伤害母体，不必担忧。先给予热姜汁，随后混合米汤，呕吐停止。接着服用附子理中汤加制半夏，两剂后身体回暖，之后改用异功散加砂仁、煨姜，五服后病情安定，到期产下一女婴。
郑氏，寒热交替、咳嗽痰多，食欲减退、月经停止，医生认为是虚损劳怯，给予补益药剂。结果导致脘腹胀满、呕吐呃逆，厌恶食物气味，心烦头晕、容易惊恐。更换医生认为是肝风内动，使用调和营血、镇惊安神的方法。拖延至神色疲惫困倦，时常晕厥，全家惶恐疑惑，请我来诊断决断。我说：这是胎脉，右尺脉已见滑利跳动，不用服药也可以。（《内经》说，阴脉搏动有力且与阳脉有别，称为怀孕。意思是阴脉搏动于下，阳脉区别在上，气血调和，即为胎脉。《脉诀》说：尺部脉不止是真正的孕妇，尺脉绵绵不绝也是胎结的表现。）如果一定要用药，暂且采用益阴和阳法，用白芍、柏子仁、茯神、甘菊（炒）、枣仁、炙甘草、小麦、桑叶、南枣。四服后逐渐安定，后来生下一个儿子。
某氏，月经闭止形成块状，怀疑为瘀血，腹痛突然崩漏。医生说：瘀滞未除，使用攻逐消散药物，淋沥胀满日益加重。我说：瘀血既然已经排出，按理不应再作胀。诊脉显示阳虚而阴搏，知道是妊娠血漏。使用七味阿胶散，加白芍、木香、杜仲、续断，血止胀消，后来果然怀孕生产。这是安胎止漏，兼以健脾摄血，胀痛自然消除。大概妊娠下血，名叫胎漏，多由闪挫损伤胞络所致。如果转而使用攻伐药物再次扰动新血，只会更加虚痛作胀，直到堕胎才后悔。
魏氏，月经停止两个月，腹痛胀满，食欲减退，夜间发热。医生认为是经闭，使用通利药物，出血不止。更换的医生见解相同，使用牛膝、红花、炮姜、枳壳，漏下更严重，腹部疼痛胀满加剧，头晕腰痛，烦热失眠。我诊察时，感觉尺脉搏指有力，两寸脉独别，是胎脉。但热久且攻伐药多，恐怕损伤胎元，并且导致胞系不固。使用香附（童便制）、白芍（炒）行气和血以消除痛胀，蒲黄（炒黑）、荆芥（醋制）止血而消除头晕，杜仲（酒炒）、阿胶（水化）、熟地（炒）固肾以摄纳下元，茯神、麦冬、枣仁（炒）安神以消除烦躁。一服后症状减轻并思食，胎儿似有坠落感，前方去掉白芍、阿胶、蒲黄、麦冬，加入山楂肉、当归（醋炒）、炙甘草、莲子，数服后安定。
谢氏，怀孕超过三个月，男女胎儿形体已分，患者自己说是血证，治疗者误用攻伐药物，导致血液下注、胎堕，身体发热、出汗心烦、眩晕失眠。索要方子竟是桃仁、牛膝、莪术、红花等药剂，第二天早上还要加生山楂肉。我见到非常震惊，询问情况，却说胎已堕，不便告知。委婉地说：瘀血已行，医生还不知道所下的是男胎，因而感叹庸医杀人，令人发指。急忙用人参、[缺字]、茯神，固摄元气，佐以炙甘草、荆芥（醋炒）、阿胶（烊化）、麦冬、五味子、牡蛎（醋淬）、龙眼肉、红枣，数服后汗收血止。
汤氏，怀孕四个月，胎漏鲜红，属于损伤胞络。总是用芩芍苎根汤，反而导致腹痛泄泻。根据脉候虚缓，本不是火热迫伤络脉导致的漏下，适宜温补弥合缝隙自能安宁。仿照胶艾汤，用海螵蛸、阿胶、杜仲、茯苓、枸杞子、艾绒、续断、炙甘草、砂仁。数服后安定。
眭氏，怀孕五月多次流产，公公商量此事，我说怀孕逢到五月，足太阴脾经养胎，想是脾血素来亏虚。如果获得怀孕，先于二三个月预先服用固摄药剂。使用胎元饮，人参、茯苓、白术、甘草、地黄、白芍、当归、陈皮、杜仲、续断、砂仁、菟丝子、芡实、生姜、大枣，水煎，每月服用五七剂。胎遂稳固，生下一个儿子，仅维持一线生机，后来竟然不再怀孕。
薛氏，怀孕六个月，因劳累便血，头部轻微眩晕，这是肠风旧疾，因热伤阴分而成。使用白芍、地榆（均酒炒）、当归、荆芥（均醋炒）、山栀（炒）、茯神、炙甘草、阿胶（酒化）、侧柏叶（捣碎），水煎，三服而痊愈。
侄女，怀孕七个月，长期泄泻，肛门下坠、足部肿胀，呕吐咳嗽，腹部微痛，傍晚寒热如疟疾，脉弦，右尺脉滑大。这是中气下陷，土衰木乘。用补中益气汤减去当归、[缺字]，加砂仁、制半夏、茯苓、煨姜，数服后疼痛、下坠、寒热俱减。
因为其肠胃长期滑脱，不忌荤腥，泄泻仍然发作。加入谷芽（炒）、茴香、炮姜等药味而安定。
酆氏，怀孕七月多，与丈夫口角，被面杖打伤。左胁剧烈疼痛，下部如撕裂感，胎气上逼，撑拒欲死。服用妇科药，咽下格格不下，喘吼等待死亡而已。诊察其脉洪数无比，身体如烙铁烫，面色如赭石色，观察其唇舌未变青紫，知道胎儿未受损，安慰她说：幸好母子都无恙。使用牛膝、苏梗、栝蒌、红花（各二钱）、归尾、枳壳（各钱半）、降香（锉三钱）、丹皮（一钱）。煎服后喘止痛定热退，进粥一碗左右，随即用顺气安胎之剂而平复。
族女，怀孕八月，因劳累吐血，鲜紫成盆。火升则呛咳，颧骨赤红、睡眠少，口不知味道。服用童便、阿胶不止，诊脉左寸关大，两尺脉俱伏，这是君相之火逼迫损伤阳络，必须得到火降呛咳平息，出血自然停止。使用生地、山栀、连翘、白芍、杏仁、贝母、百合、茯神、甘草、莲子、灯芯、阿胶（烊化），三服后咳嗽稀、血止安睡。后用熟地、当归、白芍、杜仲（盐水炒）、枸杞子（焙）以充实下元，尺脉也升起。
吕氏，临产腹痛下血，脉短滑，左脉虚芤。我说：脉未离经，决非正产。右关脉短滑，是食滞，腹痛见红由触损引起，只需行气补血。使用红米曲、陈皮、山楂肉，利气消滞，用当归、白芍，和血定痛，过了二十天才生产。
某氏，过期不生产，按照月经周期推算，事情或许如此。现在叙述怀孕已两年，兼见乳汁分泌、腹大不生产，打算攻堕，然而细诊却不是产脉，须知漏卮不塞，怀孕何由而成。况且万无攻坠之理，虽属怪症，应以常法主治，只有明理者才知道。方用熟地、潞党参、当归、白芍、白术、炙甘草、杜仲、枸杞子、续断、砂仁、广陈皮、莲子、大枣，这是以气摄血的药剂，多服则漏止胎长，接服二十剂，又过八九月而生产。
Shi, experiencing chills and aversion to cold, vomiting, and complete inability to eat or drink for over forty days, was extremely weak and exhausted, with cold limbs and Yang Qi on the verge of collapse. Her pulse was deep and hidden (Fu Mai), seemingly absent upon heavy pressure. I diagnosed pregnancy, but her family doubted it. I stated this was severe morning sickness (Ezu), and the fetus was undoubtedly present. Since blood gathers in the uterus (Baogong) and Qi fails to descend, turbid Yin pathogenic factors must rise and invade, blocking the harmonious Yang Qi, leading to vomiting, regurgitation, and cold extremities. Only ginger and aconite can unblock Yang and drain turbidity. Her father-in-law feared that hot herbs would cause miscarriage. I replied, "As the Classics state, 'If there is a cause (pathogen), there will be no injury' (Yougu wuyun); do not worry." First, warm ginger juice was given, followed by rice water, stopping the vomiting. Then, Fuzi Lizhong Tang (Aconite Decoction to Regulate the Middle) with prepared Pinellia was administered. After two doses, body warmth returned. Subsequently, Yigong San (Four-Gentlemen Powder with Added Atractylodes) with Amomum and roasted ginger was used; after five doses, stability was achieved, and she delivered a daughter at term.
Zheng, suffering from alternating chills and fever, cough with phlegm, reduced appetite, and amenorrhea, was treated by doctors as a deficiency-wasting disease and given tonics. This resulted in abdominal fullness, vomiting, belching, aversion to food odors, irritability, dizziness, and timidity. Another doctor attributed it to Liver Wind and used methods to harmonize Ying and calm fright. The condition worsened to mental and physical exhaustion, with occasional syncope. The family sought my consultation. I said, "This is a fetal pulse; the right Chi position shows slipping and movement. No medication is needed." (The Classics state: "When the Yin pulses beat strongly and are distinct from the Yang, it indicates pregnancy." This means Yin beats below while Yang is distinct above, indicating harmonious Qi and Blood, which constitutes the fetal pulse. The Pulse Classic states: "Continuous, endless pulses in the Chi position indicate a fetal knot.") If medication were necessary, I temporarily prescribed a method to nourish Yin and harmonize Yang, using White Peony Root, Biota Seed, Poria, Chrysanthemum (stir-fried), Ziziphus Seed, Licorice (honey-fried), Wheat, Mulberry Leaf, and Jujube. After four doses, she gradually stabilized and later gave birth to a son.
A certain woman, with amenorrhea and mass formation suspected as blood stasis, suffered sudden abdominal pain and flooding. The doctor claimed the stasis had not moved and used purgative and resolving drugs, worsening the dribbling and distension. I said, "Since blood stasis has already moved, distension should theoretically cease." Her pulse showed Yang deficiency and Yin beating, indicating pregnancy with bleeding. I used Qiwu Ejiao San (Seven-Ingredient Donkey-Hide Gelatin Decoction) with added White Peony Root, Aucklandia, Eucommia, and Dipsacus. Bleeding stopped, distension resolved, and she subsequently conceived and delivered. This treatment secured the fetus, stopped leakage, strengthened Spleen Qi to control blood, and naturally removed distension. Pregnancy bleeding is called fetal leakage (Tailou), often caused by trauma damaging the uterine collaterals. Using attacking drugs again would disturb new blood, increasing deficiency pain and distension until miscarriage occurs.
Wei, with amenorrhea for two months, abdominal pain and distension, reduced appetite, and night fever, was treated by a doctor for amenorrhea with draining drugs, causing continuous bleeding. Another doctor used Achyranthes, Safflower, Roasted Ginger, and Bitter Orange, worsening the leakage, abdominal pain, distension, dizziness, lower back pain, irritability, and insomnia. My examination revealed strong pulsation at the Chi position and distinctness at both Cun positions, confirming a fetal pulse. However, prolonged heat and excessive attacking drugs likely damaged the fetal origin and weakened the uterine connection. I used Cyperus (processed with child's urine) and White Peony Root (stir-fried) to move Qi and harmonize Blood to relieve pain and distension; Polygonum (charred black) and Schizonepeta (vinegar-processed) to stop bleeding and relieve dizziness; Eucommia (wine-processed), Donkey-Hide Gelatin (dissolved in water), and Rehmannia (stir-fried) to secure the Kidney and grasp the lower; Poria, Ophiopogon, and Ziziphus Seed (stir-fried) to calm the Spirit and relieve irritability. After one dose, symptoms improved, and appetite returned. Feeling like the fetus was falling, I removed White Peony, Gelatin, Polygonum, and Ophiopogon from the previous formula, adding Hawthorn Fruit, Angelica Sinensis (vinegar-processed), Licorice (honey-fried), and Lotus Seed. After several doses, stability was achieved.
Xie, pregnant for over three months when male and female forms differentiated, self-diagnosed as a blood disorder. The practitioner mistakenly used attacking drugs, causing blood to flow downward and the fetus to abort. She experienced fever, sweating, irritability, dizziness, and insomnia. The requested prescription contained Peach Kernel, Achyranthes, Curcuma, and Safflower, with raw Hawthorn to be added the next morning. I was shocked. Upon inquiry, she claimed the fetus had aborted but concealed the truth. I tactfully noted that blood stasis had moved and the doctor did not know a male fetus had been expelled, sighing at how quackery kills. I urgently used Ginseng, [missing character], and Poria to consolidate Yuan Qi, assisted by Licorice (honey-fried), Schizonepeta (vinegar-processed), Donkey-Hide Gelatin (melted), Ophiopogon, Schisandra, Oyster Shell (vinegar-quenched), Longan Aril, and Red Dates. After several doses, sweating ceased, and bleeding stopped.
Tang, at four months of pregnancy, had bright red fetal leakage due to damaged uterine collaterals. Frequent use of Scutellaria-Peony-Bidentate Root Decoction led to abdominal pain and diarrhea. Her pulse was deficient and slow, indicating this was not leakage caused by fire forcing damage to collaterals, but rather required warming and tonifying to mend the gaps. I imitated Ejiao Ai Tang (Donkey-Hide Gelatin and Mugwort Decoction), using Cuttlebone, Donkey-Hide Gelatin, Eucommia, Poria, Lycium Bark, Mugwort Floss, Dipsacus, Licorice (honey-fried), and Amomum. After several doses, she stabilized.
Sui, who had miscarried repeatedly at five months of pregnancy, consulted me. I explained that at five months, the Foot-Taiyin Spleen channel nourishes the fetus, suggesting inherent Spleen Blood deficiency. For future pregnancies, I advised taking securing formulas two to three months in advance. I prescribed Taiyuan Yin (Fetal Origin Decoction) with Ginseng, Poria, Atractylodes, Licorice, Rehmannia, White Peony, Angelica, Tangerine Peel, Eucommia, Dipsacus, Amomum, Dodder Seed, Euryale Seed, Ginger, and Dates, decocted in water, taken five to seven doses monthly. The fetus became secure, resulting in the birth of a son, though only barely surviving initially, and she subsequently became infertile.
Xue, at six months of pregnancy, had hematochezia due to exertion and slight dizziness. This was an old case of intestinal wind, caused by heat injuring the Yin aspect. I used White Peony, Sophora Root (both wine-stir-fried), Angelica, Schizonepeta (both vinegar-stir-fried), Gardenia (stir-fried), Poria, Licorice (honey-fried), Donkey-Hide Gelatin (wine-dissolved), and Platycodon Leaf (crushed). Decocted in water, three doses cured the condition.
My niece, at seven months of pregnancy, suffered from chronic diarrhea, anal prolapse, foot edema, vomiting, cough, mild abdominal pain, and evening chills/fever resembling malaria. Her pulse was wiry, with the right Chi position slippery and large. This indicated sinking of Middle Qi and Wood overacting on deficient Earth. I used Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Middle-Warming Qi-Supplementing Decoction), removing Angelica and [missing character], adding Amomum, prepared Pinellia, Poria, and roasted ginger. After several doses, pain, prolapse, and chills/fever decreased. Because her intestines and stomach were chronically loose and she did not avoid rich foods, diarrhea recurred. I added stir-fried Rice Sprout, Fennel, and Roasted Ginger, achieving stability.
Feng, pregnant for over seven months, argued with her husband and was struck with a rolling pin. She suffered severe left hypochondriac pain, tearing sensation in the lower part, and fetal Qi pressing upward, causing distress. Gynecological medicines could not be swallowed; she gasped for breath, awaiting death. Her pulse was surging and rapid without limit, her body felt hot like a brand, and her face was dark red. Observing her lips and tongue were not cyanotic, I knew the fetus was undamaged and comforted her, saying, "Fortunately, both mother and child are safe." I used Achyranthes, Perilla Stem, Trichosanthes Fruit, Safflower (2 qian each), Angelica Tail, Bitter Orange (1.5 qian each), Costus Root (3 qian chopped), and Moutan Cortex (1 qian). After decoction and ingestion, panting stopped, pain resolved, and heat subsided. After consuming a bowl of porridge, she was given Qi-regulating and fetal-securing agents to stabilize.
A clan girl, at eight months of pregnancy, vomited blood due to exertion, with fresh purple blood filling a basin. Rising fire caused choking cough, malar flush, poor taste, and insomnia. Child's urine and Donkey-Hide Gelatin failed to stop the bleeding. Her pulse showed large Left Cun and Guan positions, with both Chi positions hidden. This indicated Ministerial Fire forcing damage to Yang collaterals. Fire must descend, cough must cease, and bleeding would stop naturally. I used Rehmannia, Gardenia, Forsythia, White Peony, Apricot Seed, Fritillaria, Lily Bulb, Poria, Licorice, Lotus Seed, Rush Pith, and Donkey-Hide Gelatin (melted). After three doses, cough became sparse, bleeding stopped, and sleep was peaceful. Later, I used Rehmannia, Angelica, White Peony, Eucommia (salt-water stir-fried), and Lycium Bark (roasted) to solidify the Lower Origin, and the Chi pulse rose.
Lu, approaching labor, had abdominal pain and bleeding. Her pulse was short and slippery, with the left side deficient and hollow. I said, "The pulse has not separated from the meridian; this is certainly not normal delivery." The right Guan position being short and slippery indicated food stagnation. Abdominal pain with red discharge was due to trauma. I recommended moving Qi and nourishing Blood. I used Red Rice Qu, Tangerine Peel, and Hawthorn Fruit to promote Qi movement and resolve stagnation, and Angelica and White Peony to harmonize Blood and relieve pain. She delivered after more than twenty days.
A certain woman, overdue for delivery, might have had menstrual cycles mistaken for pregnancy. She claimed to have been pregnant for two years, with lactation and abdominal enlargement but no delivery. Plans were made to induce abortion, but careful diagnosis showed it was not a delivery pulse. One must realize that if a sieve is not plugged, how can pregnancy form? There is absolutely no rationale for attacking and dropping. Although a strange case, it should be treated with standard methods, known only to those who understand principles. The formula used Rehmannia, Codonopsis, Angelica, White Peony, Atractylodes, Licorice (honey-fried), Eucommia, Lycium, Dipsacus, Amomum, Tangerine Peel, Lotus Seed, and Dates. This is a Qi-controlling-Blood formula. With continued use, leakage stopped, the fetus grew, and after twenty additional doses, she delivered after another eight to nine months.
