（原有产图此不载录，亦祝由法也）
大全云∶凡妊娠至临月，当安神定虑，时常步履，不可多睡饱食，过饮酒醴杂药，宜先
贴产图，根据位密铺床帐，预请老练稳婆，备办汤药器物。欲产时，不可多人喧哄怆惶，但用
老妇二人扶行，及凭物站立，若见浆水，腰腹痛甚，是胎离其经，令产母仰卧，令儿转身，若
儿头向产门，方可用药催生坐草（催生药切不可早，若儿未转身，宜以补血为主，而宽气佐
之）。若心烦，用水调服白蜜一匙，觉饥吃糜粥少许，勿令饥渴，恐乏其力，不可强服催药，早
于坐草，慎之。
薛氏曰∶欲产之时，觉腹内转动，即当正身仰卧，待儿转身向下时，作痛，试捏产母手
中指中节（中指属心胞络也），或本节跳动，方与临盆。即产矣，若初觉不仰卧，以待转胞，或
未产而水频下，此胞衣已破，血水先干，必有逆生难产之患。若胎衣破，而不得分娩者，保
生无忧散，以固其血（固血之说宜玩），自然生息。如血已耗损，用八珍、汤料一斤，益母草半
斤（八珍、益母，配法服法俱佳），水数十碗煎熟，不时饮之，亦有得生者。凡孕妇只腹痛，未
产也；若连腰痛甚者，将产也。盖肾候于腰，胞系于肾故也。凡孕家宜预请有仁心知事稳婆，
当以恩结其心，先与说知，倘有生息不顺，只说未产，或遇双胎，只说胎衣未下，恐惊则气
散，愈难生息。余家亲验之，大抵难产多患于郁闷安逸富贵之家，治法虽云，胎前清气，
产后补血，不可专执，若脾胃不实，气血不充，宜预调补，不然临产必有患难。
(The original childbirth diagram is not recorded here; this also belongs to the method of Zhuyou [incantation therapy].)
*Daquan* states: Whenever pregnancy reaches the month of delivery, one should calm the mind and stabilize thoughts, walk frequently, and avoid excessive sleep, overeating, drinking too much wine, or taking miscellaneous medicines. One should first paste the childbirth diagram, arrange the bed curtains strictly according to the position, and beforehand invite an experienced midwife, preparing decoctions, medicines, and utensils. When labor is imminent, there must be no noise from many people causing panic; instead, two elderly women should support her walking and help her stand leaning on objects. If amniotic fluid appears and waist/abdominal pain is severe, this indicates the fetus is shifting its meridian position. Let the mother lie supine to facilitate fetal turning. Only when the fetal head faces the birth canal can medication for induction be used (induction medicine must never be administered too early; if the fetus has not yet turned, the primary approach should be nourishing blood, assisted by regulating Qi). If there is mental restlessness, mix one spoonful of white honey with water and take it. If hungry, eat a small amount of millet porridge. Do not let the mother suffer from hunger or thirst, as this may deplete strength. Do not forcibly administer induction medicine or rush into the birthing posture; caution is essential.
Xue states: When labor is about to begin, upon feeling movement inside the abdomen, one should straighten the body and lie supine. Wait until the fetus turns downward and pain begins. Test by pinching the middle phalanx of the mother's middle finger (the middle finger belongs to the Pericardium Meridian); if there is throbbing at this joint, it signifies impending delivery. If one does not lie supine initially to wait for fetal rotation, or if amniotic fluid flows frequently before delivery, this indicates the membranes have ruptured and blood/fluid have dried up first, inevitably leading to malpresentation and difficult labor. If the membranes rupture but delivery does not occur, use *Baosheng Wuyou San* [Guaranteed Safety and Peace Powder] to consolidate the blood (the concept of consolidating blood warrants careful study), which will naturally lead to safe delivery. If blood has already been depleted, use one jin [approx. 500g] of *Bazhen Tang* [Eight Treasures Decoction] ingredients and half a jin of *Yimucao* [Leonurus japonicus Herb], decoct in dozens of bowls of water until ready, and drink intermittently; some cases have resulted in survival. Generally, if a pregnant woman only experiences abdominal pain, she has not yet delivered; if severe lower back pain accompanies it, delivery is imminent. This is because the Kidney manifests in the waist, and the uterus is connected to the Kidney. Pregnant families should beforehand invite a midwife who is benevolent and knowledgeable. One should win her heart with kindness and inform her in advance: if delivery is complicated, claim it is not yet time; if twins are present, claim the placenta has not yet descended. Fear causes Qi to scatter, making delivery more difficult. My family has verified this personally. Generally, difficult labors often occur in wealthy households characterized by depression and comfort. Although treatment principles state "clear heat/Qi during pregnancy and tonify blood postpartum," one must not rigidly adhere to this. If Spleen/Stomach deficiency leads to insufficient Qi and Blood, preventive regulation and tonification are necessary; otherwise, difficulties will inevitably arise during delivery.
