Sangshangyangerteng Stem of Celastrus orbiculatus growing on mulberry tree (select those with seven complete leaves), Nuomi Glutinous Rice (1 qian). If there is anxiety due to bleeding, add Ejiao Donkey-hide Gelatin; if there is pain with qi stagnation, add the formula for restraining the fetus. After the seventh month of pregnancy, this formula is suitable.
Huangqin Scutellariae Radix (1 liang in summer, 7 qian in autumn, 5 qian in winter, stir-fried with wine), Fuling Poria (7.5 qian), Baizhu Atractylodis Macrocephalae Rhizoma (2 liang), Chenpi Dried Tangerine Peel (3 liang), ground into fine powder, made into pills with rice porridge.

When the fetus approaches term, taking Shutai San (Fetus-Restraining Powder) facilitates easy delivery.

Women with difficult labor often suffer from deficiency of qi and blood, causing sluggish circulation of Ying and Wei (nutritive and defensive qi). This formula uses Renshen, Baizhu, and Gancao to tonify qi; Danggui and Shaoyao to nourish blood; Zisu, Fupi, and Chenpi to regulate stagnant qi, thereby making delivery easier. If there is abdominal distension or pain, add Sharen Amomum Fruit, Zhike Aurantium Fructus Immaturus, Qingcong Green Onion Bulb (5 leaves), Huayangnao Buxus Seed. If there is heat, add Huangqin Scutellariae Radix; if there is dizziness and oppression of the head and eyes, add Chuanxiong Rhizoma. If qi is deficient, double the dosage of Renshen and Baizhu; if qi is excess, add Xiangfu Cyperi Rhizoma and double Chenpi. If blood is deficient, double Danggui and add Dihuang Prepared Root of Rehmannia. If the constitution is robust, double Zisu. If the temperament is irritable, add Huanglian. If heat is extreme, add Huangqin. If damp-phlegm is heavy, add Haishi Floating Lithomarge and Banxia Pinelliae Tuber. If food stagnation exists, add Shanzhaw Hawthorn Fruit. If hunger occurs easily after eating, add Huayangnao. If abdominal pain occurs, add Muxiang Aucklandiae Radix, Guigui Cassia Bark, Huangqin Scutellariae Radix (Cassia Bark should not be used in winter).
At the time of delivery, one should take herbs that tonify blood and smooth qi to facilitate fetal expulsion.
