妇人经期不来已过四五十日，或偶见红而少，或脉不应指，疑似之间，以此验之。用川芎为细末，煎艾水
调，空心服二钱。腹内觉微动则是孕，不动者非也。或以外象参看，如见
食，不喜食或恶心而吐，或体倦欲卧，虽体质平常，孕脉不现，只要六脉调和，亦当是孕。此即是人病脉不病，
但与养血安胎之药数剂，孕脉自现矣。
安胃定胎散
白术（一钱） 陈皮（七分） 砂仁（五分） 茯苓（一钱） 当归身（八分） 藿香（三分） 老姜（一片）
炒米（二钱） 水煎服。如恶心而吐痰者，加制半夏五分。
（既受孕矣，则当慎之）
如眼前之鸡子、雄鸡、糯米、生姜等物，古书皆云宜忌。此家常食物，难以尽戒，但鸡子、糯米有补益之
功，又何必戒？而鸡肉同糯米共食，令子生寸白虫。豆酱与藿香同食，主坠胎。鳝鱼同田鸡共食，生儿必哑。而
田鸡、虾蟆为之 虫，与人同形，男女皆不宜食。世间食物颇多，又何必食此虫？且男人食之，精滑少子。女
人食之，生子不寿。况且杀田鸡时，其物抱头而鸣，声如孩啼，闻之可惨。卖田鸡之人，多属无后。以此观之，
可戒。食骡马肉延月难产，食蟹每多横生，食兔肉儿必缺唇，食雄鸡生儿多哭，食鲤儿生疳疮，食野兽儿生怪疾，
多食火炙煎炒之物，儿必多生疮毒。鸭子与桑椹同食，令儿心寒腹痛，皆有应验，切须禁忌。总之，孕妇宜清净，
宜小劳，宜买物放生，不宜看戏，勿观异物，勿致动怒勿戏谑，勿妄想。饮食只可家常菜饭，行路不宜急，下步
不宜重，勿攀高拾物，勿轻狂负重。知字者常视经书，则生子自然聪明清秀而多寿。
如果妇女月经停止超过四五十天，或者偶尔有少量阴道出血，或者脉搏感觉不明显，在疑似怀孕的情况下，可以用此法进行验证。将川芎研磨成细粉，用艾叶煎煮的水调服，空腹服用二钱。如果腹部感觉到轻微胎动，则是怀孕；如果没有感觉，则不是怀孕。也可以参考外在表现，如看到食物、不喜欢吃东西或恶心呕吐，或者身体疲倦想睡觉，即使体质平常，脉象中没有出现典型的孕脉，只要六脉调和，也应当是怀孕。这就是所谓的“人病而脉不病”，只需给予养血安胎的药物服用几剂，孕脉自然会出现。

像鸡蛋、公鸡、糯米、生姜等物品，古书中都说应该禁忌。这些都是家常食物，难以完全戒除，但鸡蛋和糯米有补益的功效，又何必戒除？然而鸡肉与糯米同食，会导致胎儿生出寸白虫（绦虫）。豆酱与藿香同食，主要会导致堕胎。黄鳝与田鸡（青蛙）同食，生下的孩子必定哑巴。而田鸡、蛤蟆属于虫类，与人形体相似，男女都不宜食用。世间食物很多，又何必吃这些虫类？况且男人吃了，会导致遗精滑泄、子嗣稀少。女人吃了，生下的孩子寿命不长。况且杀田鸡时，它抱头鸣叫，声音像婴儿啼哭，听起来很悲惨。卖田鸡的人，大多没有后代。由此看来，可以戒除。吃骡马肉会导致月份到了却难产，吃螃蟹容易导致横位分娩，吃兔肉孩子必定唇裂，吃公鸡生下的孩子多爱哭闹，吃鲤鱼孩子容易患疳疮，吃野兽的孩子容易得怪病，多吃火烤煎炸的食物，孩子必定多生疮毒。鸭子和桑椹同食，会导致孩子心寒腹痛，都有应验，必须严格禁忌。总之，孕妇适宜保持心境清净，适宜轻微活动，适宜购买生物放生，不适宜看戏，不要观看奇异事物，不要导致发怒，不要嬉戏开玩笑，不要产生妄想。饮食只可以吃家常菜饭，走路不宜急促，落脚不宜沉重，不要攀高拾物，不要轻狂负重。识字的人常读经书，那么生下的孩子自然会聪明清秀且长寿。
If a woman's menstruation has been absent for more than forty to fifty days, or if there is occasional slight vaginal bleeding, or if the pulse is not palpable, this method can be used to verify pregnancy in cases of doubt. Grind Ligusticum Chuanxiong Rhizome (Chuanxiong) into a fine powder, mix with water decocted from Artemisia Argyi Herb (Aiye), and take two qian on an empty stomach. If slight movement is felt within the abdomen, it is pregnancy; if no movement is felt, it is not. Alternatively, refer to external signs, such as aversion to food, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, or fatigue and desire to lie down. Even if the constitution is normal and typical pregnancy pulses are not present, as long as the six pulses are harmonious, it should still be considered pregnancy. This is what is referred to as "the person shows signs of illness but the pulse does not." Simply administer several doses of blood-nourishing and fetal-securing herbs, and the pregnancy pulse will naturally appear.
Anwei Dingtai San (Stomach-Calming Fetal-Securing Powder)

Poria (Fuling, 1 qian)
Angelica Sinensis Radix (Danggui Shen, 0.8 qian)
Agastache Herba (Huoxiang, 0.3 qian)
Zingiberis Recens Rhizoma (Laojiang, 1 slice)
Fried Rice (Chaomi, 2 qian)
Decoct in water and take orally. If there is nausea accompanied by expectoration of phlegm, add Pinelliae Preparata Rhizoma (Banxia, 0.5 qian).
(Since conception has occurred, one must exercise caution.)
Items such as eggs, rooster meat, glutinous rice, and ginger are said in ancient texts to be things to avoid. These are common household foods, making it difficult to completely abstain from them. However, since eggs and glutinous rice have nourishing and tonifying effects, why must they be avoided? Nevertheless, consuming chicken meat together with glutinous rice may cause the child to develop tapeworms (Cestoda). Consuming fermented soybean paste together with Agastache Herba primarily leads to miscarriage. Consuming Monopterus albus flesh together with frog meat results in a child who is inevitably mute. Frogs and toads belong to the category of insects/worms and resemble human form; thus, both men and women should not consume them. There are many foods in the world; why eat these creatures? Moreover, if men consume them, it leads to seminal emission and scanty offspring. If women consume them, their children will have short lifespans. Furthermore, when frogs are killed, they hold their heads and cry out, sounding like infant wails, which is heartbreaking. Those who sell frog meat often lack descendants. From this perspective, one can refrain from eating them. Consuming donkey or horse meat may lead to prolonged gestation and difficult labor. Consuming crab often results in breech presentation. Consuming rabbit meat causes cleft lip in the child. Consuming rooster meat leads to children who cry frequently. Consuming carp causes children to develop malnutrition syndromes (Gan syndrome). Consuming wild beast meat causes children to develop strange diseases. Consuming excessive amounts of roasted, fried, or pan-fried foods causes children to develop sores and toxins. Consuming duck meat together with mulberries causes coldness in the heart and abdominal pain in the child. All these have proven effective and must be strictly prohibited. In summary, pregnant women should maintain mental purity and tranquility, engage in mild exertion, purchase living creatures to release, avoid watching theatrical performances, do not observe bizarre sights, avoid anger, refrain from frivolous joking, and eliminate delusional thoughts. Diet should consist only of ordinary home-cooked meals. Walking should not be hurried, steps should not be heavy, climbing high to pick up objects should be avoided, and carrying heavy loads lightly/frivolously should be avoided. Those who can read and frequently study classics will naturally give birth to children who are intelligent, refined, and long-lived.
