妊娠第一个月，由足厥阴肝经滋养胎儿，不可对该经脉进行针灸。足厥阴肝经内连属于肝，肝主管筋脉和血液。在妊娠第一个月时，气血运行尚显滞涩，不宜从事体力劳动，睡眠必须安静，不要让孕妇产生恐惧心理。
妊娠第一个月，阴阳之气新近结合形成胎元。若寒邪偏多则易出现疼痛，热邪偏多则易突发惊悸；若举重导致腰痛、腹部胀满、胞宫拘急，或突然有阴道出血，应当预先安胎，适宜服用乌雌鸡汤方。

妊娠第三个月，由手心主心包经滋养胎儿，不可对该经脉进行针灸。手心主心包经内连属于心，孕妇应避免悲哀、思虑和惊动。
妊娠第三个月，胎儿形体开始确定。若寒邪偏多则大便色青，若热邪偏多则小便困难，颜色不红即黄；若突然惊恐、忧愁、愤怒或喜悦过度导致跌倒，触动经脉，出现腹部胀满、绕脐剧烈疼痛、腰背痛，或突然阴道出血，用雄鸡汤方。

妊娠第四个月，称为“离经”（脱离原经，进入新阶段）。若寒邪偏多，则心下温温欲呕，胸膈满闷，不想进食。若热邪偏多，则小便困难且频数，状如淋病，脐下苦于急迫。若突然感受风寒，出现颈项强痛，寒热往来。或惊动身躯，腰背腹痛，发作有时，胎气上冲胸部，心烦不得安宁，或突然阴道出血，用菊花汤方。

In the first month of pregnancy, it is called "Shi Pei" (Initial Embryo). Diet should be fine and well-cooked, with a preference for sour and delicious flavors. Barley (*Hordeum vulgare*) is suitable to eat, while fishy and pungent/spicy foods should be avoided. This is referred to as "Cai Zheng" (Establishing the Foundation).
