妊娠年及中衰，胎元无力，则常有胎不能长及多小产，昏晕之患，此气血衰败而然。血气既衰，则凡小
产之后，往往有胎既落，而复又下坠。如更有一胎欲产者，此非胎也，乃因气血虚，而胞宫随胎下陷也。妊娠
不知，必至惊慌，抑知此无足虑。但以寿脾煎加升麻五分，或八珍汤（方见前胎虚不安条中），或十全大补汤

妇人受胎在腹，七日一变，展转相成，各有相生。今妇人堕胎在三五七月者多，在二四六月者少。脏阴而
腑阳，三月属心，五月属脾，七月属肺，当在五脏之脉，阴常易亏。故多堕耳。此其可知者也。唯一月堕胎，
人皆不知有胎。但谓不孕，不知其已受孕而堕也。一月属肝，怒则堕。多洗下体，则窍开亦堕。既堕一次，则
肝脉受伤，他次亦必如期而堕。今之无子者，大半是一月暗堕，非尽不孕也。故凡初交之后，最宜将息，切
勿交接以扰子宫。勿怒勿劳、勿举动、勿洗浴，而又常服养血顺气之药（方见下文妊娠至宝条中审证选用可也），
胎可保矣。
If the woman is of advanced age or her physiological functions are declining, the fetal root (the life foundation of the fetus) lacks strength, leading to frequent instances where the fetus fails to grow and multiple spontaneous abortions (miscarriages) accompanied by fainting. This is caused by the decline and failure of Qi and Blood. Once Qi and Blood are weakened, after each miscarriage, it often happens that although the fetus has been expelled, the uterus descends along with it. If there appears to be another impending delivery, this is not a new fetus, but rather the uterus sinking down due to Qi and Blood deficiency following the previous expulsion. If the pregnant woman is unaware of this, she will inevitably panic, yet there is no need for excessive worry. Treatment with Shoupi Decoction (Longevity Spleen Decoction) added with five fen of Shengma (Rhizoma Cimicifugae), or Bazhen Tang (Eight-Treasure Decoction) (see formula in the preceding "Fetal Instability due to Deficiency" section), or Shiquan Dabu Tang (Ten Complete Tonifying Decoction) (see formula in the preceding "Fetal Instability due to Deficiency" section), or Xionggui Buxue Tang (Cnidium and Angelica Blood-Nourishing Decoction) (see formula in the "Half-Abortion" section above), will naturally stabilize the condition.

Conception occurs in the abdomen, changing every seven days, progressing through stages, each generating the next. Currently, women experience miscarriages more frequently in the third, fifth, and seventh months, and less frequently in the second, fourth, and sixth months. Zang organs are Yin and Fu organs are Yang. The third month corresponds to the Heart, the fifth to the Spleen, and the seventh to the Lung; these belong to the pulse patterns of the Five Zang organs, where Yin is prone to deficiency. Hence, miscarriages are common. This is understandable. However, miscarriage in the first month is often unknown to people. They assume infertility, unaware that conception occurred followed by abortion. The first month corresponds to the Liver; anger can cause miscarriage. Frequent washing of the lower body opens the orifices, which can also lead to miscarriage. After one miscarriage, the Liver pulse is injured, and subsequent miscarriages will likely occur at the same stage each time. Many childless individuals today have suffered from hidden miscarriages (silent abortions) in the first month, rather than true infertility. Therefore, after initial intercourse, utmost rest is essential. Coitus should be avoided to prevent disturbing the uterus. Avoid anger, fatigue, strenuous movement, and bathing. Regularly administer herbs that nourish Blood and regulate Qi smoothly (see formulas in the following "Pregnancy Precious Treasure" section, select according to syndrome differentiation), and the fetus can be preserved.
