儿啼腹中，有声如钟，名曰子啼。盖母腹中有疙瘩，儿含口中，因母举手向高处取物，疙瘩脱出儿口，是以
啼哭，如闻钟声。古方用黄连浓煎汁，令母呷服自止。又法∶撒钱于地，令妊妇曲腰，就地拾取钱文，则疙瘩
仍入儿口，啼哭自止，此法更为至妙。
妊娠三五月间，忽然失音不语，名曰子喑。此胞之络脉绝也。盖胞络系于肾少阴之脉，贯肾系舌本，故不
能言。此非药可愈，待十月满足，子母分娩，则自能言，勿药可也。
妊娠八九月，小便不通，此气虚不能举胎，胎压脬胞，展在一边，胞系乖戾，水不能出，名曰转胞。胎若
举起，悬在中央，胞系得疏，则水道自行，宜参术饮。若饱食后气伤胎系，系弱不能自举，而下压膀胱，尿闭
腹肿者，宜参术二陈汤。又法∶将孕妇倒竖起，则胎自坠转，其尿自出，亦
妙。

Fetal crying in the womb, with a sound like a bell, is called "Zi Ti" (Fetal Crying). This occurs because there is a mass in the mother's abdomen that the fetus holds in its mouth. When the mother raises her hand to reach for something high up, the mass falls out of the fetus's mouth, causing it to cry as if hearing a bell sound. Ancient prescriptions use concentrated decoction of Huanglian (Coptidis Rhizoma), which the pregnant woman drinks to stop the crying. Another method: scatter coins on the ground and have the pregnant woman bend down to pick them up from the floor; this causes the mass to re-enter the fetus's mouth, and the crying stops spontaneously. This method is even more ingenious.
During the third to fifth months of pregnancy, sudden loss of voice and inability to speak is called "Zi Yin" (Pregnancy Aphonia). This is due to the obstruction of the collateral vessels of the Bao Organ (Uterus). The collateral vessels of the Bao Organ connect to the Shaoyin Meridian of the Kidney, which passes through the Kidney and connects to the root of the tongue; hence, speech is impaired. This condition cannot be cured by medicine alone. Wait until the tenth month is full and delivery occurs; then speech will return naturally. Medication is not necessary.
In the eighth or ninth month of pregnancy, difficulty in urination occurs due to Qi deficiency failing to support the fetus. The weight of the fetus compresses the Paopao (Urinary Bladder), displacing it to one side, causing the bladder ligaments to twist and preventing urine discharge. This is called "Zhuan Bao" (Displaced Bladder). If the fetus is lifted and suspended centrally, the bladder ligaments relax, and the urinary pathway opens spontaneously. Shen Zhu Yin (Ginseng and Atractylodes Decoction) is indicated. If excessive eating damages Qi and the fetal ligaments, causing the weakened ligaments to fail in supporting the fetus, leading to downward compression of the bladder, urinary retention, and abdominal swelling, Shen Zhu Er Chen Tang (Ginseng, Atractylodes, and Two-Chen Decoction) is indicated. Another method: invert the pregnant woman vertically; the fetus will naturally shift position, and urine will flow out spontaneously. This is also effective.

Excessive indulgence in alcohol and sexual activity during pregnancy damages the Bao Men (Gate of the Uterus) internally, causing heat to accumulate in the Pangguang (Urinary Bladder). This leads to dribbling and painful urination, accompanied by mental restlessness and irritability. This is called "Zi Lin" (Pregnancy Strangury). If there is painful, scanty urination, Anrong San (Anrong Powder) is indicated. If internal injury from sexual exertion causes difficult urination, Shenqi Wan (Kidney-Qi Pill) is indicated. If Qi deficiency causes shortness of urine volume, Buzhong Yiqi Tang (Tonify the Middle and Augment the Qi Decoction) is indicated (formula see previous section on Zi Qi). If Blood deficiency causes scanty, obstructed urination, Zishen Wan (Nourish-Kidney Pill) is indicated. If heat binds in the Pangguang causing obstruction, Wuling San (Five-Ingredient Powder with Poria) is indicated. If Liver and Kidney deficient heat causes strangury, Zhibai Siwu Tang (Anemarrhena, Phellodendron, and Four Substances Decoction) is indicated. If Lung meridian stagnant heat is present, Huangqin Qingfei Yin (Scutellaria Lung-Clearing Decoction) is indicated.
