Answer: When leg and foot swelling occurs in the eighth or ninth month of pregnancy, it should not be treated as a water-disease (Shui Bing), lest it damage the true Qi (Zhen Qi). The appearance of this symptom indicates that delivery will be easy. This is because the uterus contains abundant amniotic fluid and blood, preventing fetal dryness; hence, it is said to be easy to deliver. At this time, herbs that regulate Qi and facilitate smooth delivery should be taken. If swelling occurs at the beginning of pregnancy, it is due to excessive water-Qi, and since the fetus has not yet formed, it may damage the fetal origin.

Zhike San (Bitter Orange Powder): Nourishes fetal Qi, harmonizes the Zang organs (specifically the uterus), treats all malignant conditions during pregnancy, and makes the fetus slippery for easy delivery.
Ingredients: Zhike (Fructus Aurantii, removed pith and stir-fried, 4 liang), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, honey-fried, 1 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Grind the above ingredients into a fine powder. Take 2 qian per dose, mixed with boiling water. Take on an empty stomach. Once the pregnancy months have passed, take three times daily.

Yubai Pi Tang (Elm Bark Decoction): Facilitates smooth and easy delivery. Treats cases where vaginal bleeding occurred during pregnancy due to threatened miscarriage, premature excitement before labor, or discharge of lochia before the due date, leading to a dry uterine sac and difficult labor.
Ingredients: Dongkuizi (Semen Malvae, 1 liang), Mutong (Caulis Akebiae, 0.5 liang), Yubai Pi (Cortex Ulmi, 1 liang), Qumai (Herba Dianthi, 1 liang), Niuxi (Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae, stems removed, soaked in wine and baked), Dama Ren (Semen Cannabis, shelled, 3 fen each).
Preparation and Administration: Grind the above ingredients into a coarse powder. Take 3 qian per dose, add 1.5 cups of water, decoct until 0.8 cup remains, remove dregs, and take warm. Do not restrict the time of administration.

Jiusheng San (Life-Saving Powder): Calms the fetus, tonifies Qi, and facilitates delivery.
Ingredients: Renshen (Radix Ginseng), Hezi (Fructus Chebulae, wrapped in wet paper, baked until ripe, pitted), Chenpi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae, stir-fried), Baizhu (Radix Atractylodis Macrocephalae, stir-fried), Damai Rou (Endosperm Hordei Vulgaris, stir-fried), Shenqu (Massa Medicata Fermentata, stir-fried, 0.5 liang each).

Once the pregnancy months have passed, double the dosage: use 2 cups of water, decoct until 1 cup remains, and take warm on an empty stomach. Taking this formula results in a compact fetus and protects the nursing mother from harm.

Answer: "The Yin pulse beats strongly and differs from the Yang pulse" indicates pregnancy. This signifies the harmony of Qi and Blood, where Yang imparts and Yin nurtures. Palpating the Heart-Shaoyin pulse (Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian) showing vigorous movement indicates pregnancy. "Ren" (conception) means Yang has initiated, and Yin nurtures; "Shen" (gestation) means moving according to time; thus, it is called "Ren-Shen" (pregnancy).

In the first month of pregnancy, named "Shi Pei" (Initial Embryo): Diet should be finely cooked, favoring sour and delicious flavors. Barley is suitable; avoid raw, pungent, or spicy foods. This is called "Zheng Cai" (Establishing the Foundation). The Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian nourishes the fetus in the first month; acupuncture and moxibustion on this meridian are prohibited. The Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian connects internally to the Liver, which governs sinews and Blood. In the first month, Blood flow is sluggish; avoid strenuous labor, maintain mental tranquility, and avoid fear. In the first month, Yin and Yang newly combine to form the embryo. Excess Cold causes pain; excess Heat causes sudden fright. Lifting heavy objects causes lower back pain; abdominal fullness and urgency occur; sudden vaginal bleeding requires immediate fetal stabilization. Wuci Ji Tang (Black Hen Chicken Decoction) is suitable.
Ingredients: Wuci Ji (Black Hen Chicken, one, roasted as usual for eating), Fuling (Poria, 2 liang), Wuzhuyu (Fructus Evodiae, 1 sheng), Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Alba/Lactiflorae), Renshen (Radix Ginseng), Baizhu (Radix Atractylodis Macrocephalae, 3 liang each), Maimendong (Radix Ophiopogonis, 5 he), Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini, 2 liang), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, 1 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Chop the nine ingredients. Boil the chicken in 12 sheng of water, obtain 6 sheng of broth. Remove the chicken, add other herbs, decoct to obtain 3 sheng. Add 3 sheng of wine and melt the Ejiao completely. Obtain 3 sheng total. Let cool to warm. Take 1 sheng per dose, three times daily.

Preparation and Administration: Prepare as a decoction. Take 3 qian per dose, add 1.5 cups of water, 3 slices of ginger, decoct to 0.7 portion, remove dregs, and take on an empty stomach. For excess Cold, double Xixin and Wuzhuyu; for thirst, remove Xixin and add Gualougen (Radix Trichosanthis); for overthinking, remove Damai and add Baiziren (Semen Platycladi, 3 he).

In the second month of pregnancy, named "Shi Gao" (Initial Paste): Avoid raw, pungent, or spicy foods. Dwell in quiet places; men should avoid exertion. Pain in all joints occurs; this is called "Tai Zang" (Fetal Store). Shaoyang is the meridian of the Gallbladder, governing Essence. In the second month, the fetus's essence forms in the uterus, so the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian nourishes it. The Foot-Shaoyang meridian is located between the little toe, one cun posterior to the metatarsophalangeal joint in the depression against the bone. In the second month, Yin and Yang reside in the meridians. Cold leads to malformation; Heat leads to withering and weakness. Wind-Cold causing shaking results in chest fullness, umbilical urgency, stiff back, sudden vaginal bleeding, alternating chills and fever. Aiye Tang (Mugwort Leaf Decoction) is indicated.

In the third month of pregnancy, "Shi Tai" (Initial Fetus) begins. At this time, Blood and Qi do not circulate freely; the form begins to change but lacks fixed features, influenced by what is seen. One should view noble, dignified, and handsome people; avoid seeing hunchbacks, dwarfs, ugly deformities, or monkeys. Avoid ginger and rabbit meat; do not hold knives or ropes. To conceive a boy, handle bows and arrows, shoot roosters, ride fat horses in fields, observe tigers/leopards, and watch running dogs. To conceive a girl, wear hairpins and jade ornaments, play with pearls/jades. To ensure beauty and uprightness, frequently view white jade and peacocks, eat carp. To ensure wisdom and strength, eat beef heart and barley. To ensure virtue, sit upright, maintain mental purity, avoid crooked seats, leaning postures, evil paths, improper gazes, wicked words, and evil thoughts. Control emotions, avoid excessive worry. Eat moderate portions, sleep properly, do not stretch legs horizontally. Cravings for fruits can be satisfied with sour pickles; prefer fragrant smells, avoid foul odors. This is "External Image Changing the Form." The Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian nourishes the fetus. The Pericardium governs Spirit and connects to the Heart. The acupoint is at the wrist crease. Palpating a slippery and rapid pulse, scattering when pressed heavily, indicates three months of pregnancy. In the third month, the form is set.

Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian nourishes the fetus. It connects internally to the Fu organs. In the fourth month, the six Fu organs are completed, so Hand-Shaoyang nourishes it. The acupoint is two cun posterior to the metacarpophalangeal joint of the little finger. To determine gender at four months: rapid left pulse indicates male. Hand-Shaoyang connects to Sanjiao.
