A woman had a fetus that died in the uterus, presenting with wheezing (asthma) and an inability to lie flat. Upon pulse diagnosis, the Qi Kou pulse was one times larger than the Ren Ying pulse; the Left Guan pulse was wiry, moving, and rapid; both Chi pulses were short and deviated from the normal course (Li Jing). It was therefore concluded: This illness resulted from taking drugs that disturbed the blood, causing the dead fetus not to be expelled. The qi rushed upward violently, which is not wheezing caused by wind-cold. A large dose of Xiong Gui Tang (Angelica and Ligusticum Decoction) with added labor-inducing herbs was administered. By midnight, a dead fetus was indeed expelled, and the wheezing ceased. Her husband said, "My mother-in-law was indeed pregnant, but she took medicine to abort it because she was jealous of my wife. This was unknown to everyone."

However, during pregnancy, wheezing can occur due to sudden contraction of wind-cold, leading to an inability to lie flat; this is caused by excess external pathogens and will heal spontaneously through dispersing methods, primarily treated with Shen Su Yin (Ginseng and Perilla Drink). If there is spleen deficiency causing weakness in the four limbs, lung deficiency failing to withstand wind-cold, or kidney deficiency causing lower back pain, shortness of breath, and inability to walk, resulting in sudden incessant wheezing, this is due to inherent deficiency of the spleen and lungs. When the mother is deficient, the child is also deficient; the kidney qi fails to return to its origin and overcomes the lung. This is primarily treated with Sheng Mai San (Generate the Pulse Powder) or Bu Zhong Yi Qi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) with Sheng Ma and Chai Hu removed. Zhu Danxi stated that wheezing caused by fire movement is most common before childbirth. As for wheezing caused by drugs damaging the fetus, this often occurs in secular practice, and the pathology must be carefully examined.

Zhang Zhongjing said: In women suffering from Zang Zao (Visceral Agitation), there is a tendency toward sadness and weeping, resembling possession by spirits, accompanied by frequent yawning and stretching. This is primarily treated with Gan Mai Da Zao Tang (Licorice, Wheat, and Jujube Decoction). Xue Lizhai treated a pregnant woman who presented with sorrow and irritability. Upon inquiry with her husband, it was learned that she said, "I have no reason, I just want to feel sad." Using Zhang Zhongjing's formula, assisted by Dan Zhu Ru Tang (Bamboo Shavings Decoction) and Ba Zhen Tang (Eight Treasures Decoction), she recovered. Therefore, unprovoked sadness during pregnancy belonging to Lung disease and Zang Zao is due to dryness of the lung. During pregnancy, qi and blood are congested to nourish the fetal source, so body fluids cannot sufficiently moisten, causing the lung to become dry. Dryness of the lung should be treated by tonifying the mother organ (Spleen); hence, Licorice and Jujube are used to tonify the spleen. If, as Xue Lizhai did, Ba Zhen Tang is used to tonify qi and blood, it further elaborates on what previous authors had not fully expounded.

The *Chan Bao* records: A nodule on the umbilical cord may be held in the mouth of the fetus. If the pregnant woman climbs high and raises her arms, the nodule may slip out of the fetus's mouth, producing sounds. To stop this, the pregnant woman should bend her waist to the ground as if picking up an object; once the nodule re-enters the fetus's mouth, the sound stops. It also states: For a fetus crying in the womb of a pregnant woman, the treatment method is to decoct earth from rat holes in empty rooms with Chuan Huang Lian (Coptis Rhizome) into a thick liquid and administer it to the pregnant woman, which stops the crying.
