Commentary: Liangfang states: After a woman conceives, blood accumulates to nourish the fetus. How can it be dispersed again? The reason is that menstruation continues monthly during pregnancy, which may not necessarily be due to abundant blood. If one claims wind in the Ying channel causes blood movement, since wind is active, this example shows that the causes of Tailou are manifold. Practitioners should expand their understanding.

Xu Xueshi said: Generally, for pregnant women, the key is to suppress Yang and assist Yin. There are many such medicines. However, antenatal medications should avoid chaotic combinations. If Yin and Yang mix, other diseases may arise. Zhiqiao San suppresses Yang, while Siwu Tang assists Yin. However, Zhiqiao San is cold; taking it alone may cause fetal cold and abdominal pain. Using Neibu Wan to assist it balances Yang and Yin, benefiting the fetus. This was not discussed by predecessors. I carefully examine that balancing Yin and Yang is better than not taking medicine at all.

Preparation and Administration: Coarsely crush the herbs. Decoct with fresh ginger and take on an empty stomach.
Commentary: Danxi said: Zhuan Bao occurs in women with weak constitution, excessive worry, irritable temperament, or rich diet. Ancient formulas used slippery lubricants rarely effective. I think the bladder is not twisted itself but compressed by the fetus to one side, causing the bladder ligaments to twist and block the water passage. If the fetus lifts, the ligaments relax and water flows freely. However, fetal descent has reasons. Recently, a concubine in Wu's house suffered this. Her pulses were slightly choppy, tight upon heavy pressure, and harmonious on the left. I said: This is due to worry. Choppy pulse indicates blood deficiency and excess qi, making fetal qi weak unable to lift. Tight pulse indicates fluid retention. Blood deficiency makes fetus weak; excess qi with fluid retention clouds the middle jiao, narrowing the space, causing the bladder to descend. I gave the above medicine. Then induced vomiting with finger, waited for qi to settle, then fed again. Next morning same. After eight doses, cured. This method may be coincidental. Later treated several others successfully. Zhang Zhongjing said: Women originally with fleshiness feel full when lifting head; now emaciated, feeling hollow when lifting head, bladder ligaments twist, causing this disease. Promoting urination cures it. Use Shengqi Wan because it contains Fuling. Dihuang as sovereign herb benefits the bladder. The meaning of "lifting head" is unclear.
Commentary: The above antenatal methods use medicines for fundamental Qi and Blood disorders, not acrid-hot or bitter-cold agents. Generally, antenatal care requires clearing heat and nourishing blood. However, if there is external wind-cold or internal cold damage, use acrid-hot to disperse and warm. For large accumulations, reduce them halfway. The Classic says: How to treat poison in pregnancy? Qibo said: If there is a cause, no injury occurs. This method is not for fundamental disease. See Daquan Liangfang for details.
