The condition known as "Frightened Fetus in Pregnancy" occurs when the pregnancy is nearing full term and the fetus's spirit and consciousness are already formed. If a fall from a height occurs during the time of impending labor, damaging the uterine vessels (Baoluo), it leads to bleeding and fetal movement. The Qi and Blood then rush upward to the chest and heart, causing Qi obstruction and unconsciousness. In this state, if the mother's face is red and her tongue is cyanotic, with no foam coming from the mouth, it indicates that the fetus is dead but the mother survives. If both the lips and mouth are cyanotic and foam is present, it indicates the death of both mother and fetus. If the face is cyanotic and the tongue is red with foam, it indicates the death of the mother but the survival of the fetus. If bleeding continues without stopping, leading to dryness of the uterus and withering of the fetus, the fetus will die.

Formulas
Sangjisheng San (Mulberry Mistletoe Powder), sourced from *Wei Shi Fang*, treats pregnancy complicated by fright or trauma due to sexual intercourse, excessive physical labor damaging the fetal sac, or ingestion of toxic substances causing uterine deficiency and slipping, resulting in persistent dripping of menstrual blood. If not treated urgently,敗血 (decayed blood) may attack the heart, endangering both mother and fetus, leading to gradual drying of the fetus and imminent danger.
Ingredients: Sangjisheng (Taxilli Herba), Danggui (Radix Angelicae Sinensis, remove radicle, soak in wine), Chuanxuduan (Radix Dipsaci, soak in wine), Chuanxiong (Rhizoma Chuanxiong), Xiangfu (Rhizoma Cyperi, remove hairs, stir-fry), Fushen (Poria cum Radix Pini, remove wood core), Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini, stir-fry with Arseni Trioxidum powder into beads), Baizhu (Radix Atractylodis Macrocephalae) — each 1 liang; Renshen (Radix Ginseng), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, honey-fried) — each 0.5 liang; Chen Aiye (Folium Artemisiae Argyi, aged) 1 liang; Wumei (Fructus Mume, remove pits) 0.5 liang.

Longgu San (Dragon Bone Powder), sourced from *Shenghui Fang*, treats women suffering from continuous bleeding due to traumatic abortion.

Xiezha Tang (Crab Claw Decoction), sourced from *Qianjin Fang*, treats pregnancy complicated by falling and loss of balance, causing fetal movement rushing upward to the chest and heart. In severe cases, blood may be vomited, breathing becomes obstructed and irregular, or there is heavy downward bleeding (one dou five sheng). If the fetus does not deliver and has died, apply cold compresses to the abdomen to simulate labor conditions to expel the dead fetus. If the mother is weak, short of breath, exhausted to the point of death, and suffers from restlessness and tossing, administering this medicine will calm the mother and stop the bleeding. If delivery is due, the fetus will be born immediately. For twin pregnancies where one is dead and one alive, this medicine helps expel the dead fetus while keeping the live one safe.
Ingredients: Xiezha (Claws of Potamocarcinus sinensis) 1 sheng; Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae), Guixin (Cortex Cinnamomi Cassiae) — each 2 qian; Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini) 2 liang (or use Lujiaojiao/Colla Cornus Cervi).
Preparation: Coarsely crush the herbs. Boil in 1 dou of water flowing from the east until reduced to 3 sheng. Strain the dregs, dissolve the Ejiao completely. It is best to take as a single dose; if not possible, take another dose after a meal interval. If the jaw is stiff and swallowing is difficult, pry open the mouth and pour the medicine in. Once the medicine takes effect, the fetus will be delivered, saving both mother and child. If the fetus is already dead, only the mother survives. If there was no fall but normal pregnancy with bleeding, this decoction will stop the bleeding. Another version excludes Guixin; some claim Cinnamon Twig disturbs the fetus, but this is not necessarily true. When decocting, use an east-facing stove and reed firewood.

Zhuru Jiu (Bamboo Sheath Wine), sourced from *Daquan Liangfang*, treats accidental falls during pregnancy causing bone injury (Zhu) and fetal pain, or fetal restlessness in the eighth or ninth month.
