During the fifth to sixth month of pregnancy, if the fetus fails to grow properly (fetal atrophy), it is due to the mother's congenital weakness. If both Qi and Blood are deficient, Ba Zhen Tang (Eight Treasure Decoction) [see formula in the "Fetal Deficiency and Instability" section above] should be used, with increased dosages of Renshen (Ginseng Root), Baizhu (Atractylodis Rhizoma), and Fuling (Poria). If Spleen and Stomach are weak, Liu Jun Zi Tang (Six Gentlemen Decoction) is appropriate. As long as diet is nourishing and the transformation and transportation of food and fluids are normal, Qi and Blood will be generated daily, and the fetus will naturally grow. If there is a pre-existing condition of Wind-Cold, Chang Tai Bai Zhu Wan (Long-Fetus Atractylodes Pill) is suitable.

Use Shengjiang (Fresh Ginger) and Dazao (Jujube) as guides, decoct in water, and take orally.
If symptoms include depression/irritability, hypochondriac pain, vomiting, and alternating chills and fever, add Chaihu (Bupleuri Radix), Zhizi (Gardeniae Fructus), Zhike (Aurantii Fructus), Zisu (Perillae Folium), and Jiegeng (Platycodonis Radix).

If pregnancy is managed correctly, Qi and Blood will harmonize, the fetus will be secure, and delivery will be easy. Otherwise, fetal movement may become restless with rebellious Qi, making labor difficult and dangerous.
