For difficult labor, these three talismans are drawn with ink by the patient and swallowed.
The vital energy nurtured by Yin and Yang does not cease after ten months. Whether male or female, they correspond to the Bright Star above and are urged by the Si Ming (Soul Master) deity, resulting in the simultaneous birth of the fetus and the placenta. Execute swiftly as per the decree (Ji Ji Ru Lü Ling).
Difficult labor occurs because the fetal qi is formed, and the fetus resides in the womb, consuming the mother's blood. Excess consumption leads to the formation of clumps, commonly known as "child pillow" (Er Zhen Zi). Attempts to explain this as heterodox theories are forced. As the due month approaches, once abdominal pain and movement are felt, reports are made. Bystanders cause commotion, frightening the parturient woman and causing mental unrest. The heart qi becomes constrained, leading to difficult labor. It is essential to know that when ten months are complete, one must not panic or worry. When abdominal pain begins, an elderly woman should provide calm care, avoiding crowds and agitation. As abdominal pain becomes frequent and amniotic fluid breaks, delivery will occur shortly.
Formula for treating prolonged labor lasting several days, with fetal qi rushing to the heart, causing suffocation and fainting:
Su (Butyrum, 酥, 1 liang), Dong Kui Zi (Malvae Semen, 冬葵子, 1 he), Hua Shi (Talcum, 滑石, 0.5 liang).
Pound the latter two ingredients into powder, place in a raw silk bag. Decoct with 1 large cup of wine for ten boils, then add Su. Boil for one or two more boils. Divide and take warm.
Another formula:
Yu Bai Pi (Cortex Ulmi, 榆白皮, chopped), Hua Shi (Talcum, 滑石), Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, 当归), Che Qian Zi (Plantaginis Semen, 车前子), Yi Mu Cao (Herba Leonuri, 益母草, each 0.5 liang).
Pound and sieve finely into powder. Take 2 qian, mixed with decoction of fresh ginger and urine.
Formula for treating pregnancy at eleven months without labor, suitable for certain constitutions, named Kui Zi San:
Dong Kui Zi (Malvae Semen, 冬葵子, 1 he), Hua Shi (Talcum, 滑石, 1 liang), Qu Mai (Herba Dianthi, 瞿麦, 0.5 liang), Dan Shen (Radix Salviae Miltiorrhizae, 丹参, 0.5 liang).
Pound coarsely into powder. Take 2 qian per dose, with 1 medium cup of water and 1 tea spoon of Su. Decoct until reduced to 6/10, remove dregs, and take warm.
Formula for treating term pregnancy with several days of no labor and uneasiness, intended to help the fetus be delivered hand-first:
Zhao Zi Bi (Nasal bone of a specific animal?, 照子鼻, 8 pieces, burned red and quenched in vinegar nine times, pounded to powder), Huai Zi (Sophorae Fructus, 槐子, 10 liang, powdered).
Mix and grind evenly, bind with refined honey into pills the size of Sophora seeds. Roll in rice flour in a copper vessel until red. Take on July 10th at noon.
Formula for treating three days of no labor:
Take rat head, burn to ash, grind finely. Take 1 qian mixed with fresh well water. Immediate effect.
Another formula:
Burn turtle shell to ash, grind. Take 1 qian mixed with fresh well water. Immediate effect.

Another formula:
Take sheep horn flakes, burn and grind to powder. Take 1 qian mixed with wine.
Formula for treating seven days of no labor leading to exhaustion:
Huang Ming Jiao (Colla Corii Corii, 黄明胶, 1 liang, roasted until yellow and charred).
With 1 large cup of good wine, stir continuously for about 10-20 boils. Add one fresh chicken egg, break it, mix with 1 qian of salt. Take all at once.
Formula for difficult labor, unable to deliver after 2-3 days, with irregular breathing and abdominal pain, named Cui Sheng Fang Kui San:
Fang Kui (Radix Saposhnikoviae, 防葵, 1 liang), Hua Shi (Talcum, 滑石, 3 fen), Zhu Sha (Cinnabaris, 朱砂, 1 fen, finely ground), Dong Kui Zi (Malvae Semen, 冬葵子, 3 fen), Mu Tong (Caulis Akebiae, 木通, 3 fen, chopped), Qu Mai (Herba Dianthi, 瞿麦, 3 fen).
Pound coarsely into powder. Take 4 qian per dose, with 1 medium cup of water.
Decoct until reduced to 6/10, remove dregs, and take warm.
Formula for difficult labor, exhausted after 2-3 days, unable to deliver, indicating chronic illness:
Chi Xiao Dou (Vigna Semen Rubrum, 赤小豆, 1 he), Huang Ming Jiao (Colla Corii Corii, 黄明胶, 1 liang).
Decoct beans in 1 large cup of water until cooked. Remove dregs, add Jiao to melt. Take warm in one dose.
Another formula:
Hold a branch of elm growing towards the east.
Another formula:
Hold the head of a cormorant.
Another formula:
Take Yi Mu Cao (Herba Leonuri, 益母草), crush to obtain 3 he of juice. Take immediately. If fresh is unavailable, use a handful of dried herb, decoct in 1 large cup of water until half remains, remove dregs, and take warm.
Formula for difficult labor, several days without delivery, with dead fetus in utero:
Take Jin Zhou Jiao (Pepper from Jin Province, 金州椒, 2 sheng), divide into two parts, steam. Wrap in cloth and apply alternating hot compresses to the parturient woman's umbilical and abdominal area. The dead fetus will be expelled.
Formula for difficult labor, not delivering overnight:
Take Ma KT (likely a typo for a specific object or animal part, possibly horse-related given context, 马KT), hold it in the left hand of the parturient woman when pain starts. Very effective.
Formula for difficult labor, not delivering after 3-5 days, with dead fetus in utero:
Dang Gui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, 当归, 3 fen, chopped, lightly fried, pounded to powder), Gui Jia (Carapax et Plastrum Testudinis, 龟甲, 3 fen, coated with Su, roasted until yellow, pounded to powder).
First, take 0.5 liang of hair from a woman who has borne many children, burn to ash, grind finely. Add Dang Gui powder. Decoct in 1.5 large cups of water until reduced to 0.8 cups, then...
