娠妇六七个月,暴下黄汁水,或如胶或如豆汁,多者升许,名曰孤浆,并非产也。然每每胎动腹痛,皆气
血元虚,若认为产,心慌神张,则胎必根据而坠矣。急服黄 糯米汤可保胎,服。人参者更妙。方用黄 六两,
糯米半升,水七升,煮汁三升,分作四服,日三夜一,尽服完为妙。
薛立斋曰∶妊妇误服毒药胎动不安者,急
服甘草、黑豆、淡竹叶,浓煎以解之。予谓毒药者,即《内经》妇人身重,毒之如何。此必有他病,而用胎中
所忌之药,致胎动也,非真有信砒毒耳。
《素·六元正纪大论》曰∶妇人重身,毒之何如?曰∶有故无殒,亦无殒也。盖药所以去其病,病去则胎
自安。虽大毒之药,何伤胎之有哉!苟药不中病,虽通草、滑石等平淡之药,亦足以伤其胎。是医者之过,非
药之过也。若汪氏之说,全失经文之旨矣。(徐评)
淡竹叶欠妥。若误服热药致胎动者,绿豆汁饮之最妙。(徐评)
《大全》曰∶娠妊心痛,乃风邪痰饮交结。予谓肝气不畅者多。若伤于络,则乍作乍安,名曰厥痛。若胎
动下血,乃伤触子脏也,用安胎饮或火龙散、手拈散。轻者一味砂仁汤,使气调自安。若果真心痛,指甲青,
朝发暮死,夕发旦死,无能为力。然此症怀孕者少,盖心真痛为寒冷入心,水克心,火灭也。而怀妊者必有胎
热,当之不致寒水上凌于心。
心者君主之官,端拱无为,岂能为痛,痛者,乃肝胃之气不畅,或风邪痰饮交结之故也。(徐评)

During the sixth or seventh month of pregnancy, a woman may suddenly discharge a large amount of yellow fluid, which may resemble glue or bean curd dregs, with quantities reaching up to one sheng (approx. 1 liter). This condition is termed "Gu Jiang" (Lonely Amniotic Fluid) and is not a sign of labor. However, it is often accompanied by fetal movement and abdominal pain, caused fundamentally by deficiency in Qi and Blood Yuan Qi. If mistaken for labor, causing panic and mental agitation, the fetus will inevitably be expelled. One should immediately administer Huangqi Nuomi Tang (Astragalus and Glutinous Rice Decoction) to secure the fetus; adding Renshen (Ginseng) yields even better results. The prescription consists of Huangqi (Astragali Radix) 6 liang, Nuomi (Glutinous Rice) half a sheng, added with 7 sheng of water, boiled down to obtain 3 sheng of decoction. It should be divided into four doses: three during the day and one at night, until fully consumed.
Xue Lizhai stated: For pregnant women whose fetal movement and insecurity are caused by accidentally ingesting toxic drugs, one should immediately administer Gancao (Licorice Root), Heidou (Black Soybean), and Danzhuye (Lophatherum Herb), decocted strongly to detoxify. I believe that the term "toxic drugs" refers to what is mentioned in *Neijing* regarding "a woman's heavy body, how to treat with poison?" There must be another disease present, and contraindicated medications during pregnancy were used, causing fetal movement, rather than actual ingestion of arsenic or similar potent poisons.
*Suzhen Liu Yuan Zheng Ji Da Lun* states: When a woman is heavily pregnant, can toxic drugs be used? It answers: If there is a pathology, the pathology receives the effect, and neither the mother nor the fetus is harmed. Medicines are used to eliminate disease; once the disease is gone, the fetus becomes naturally secure. Even highly toxic medicines, how could they harm the fetus? Conversely, if the medicine does not address the pathology, even mild and bland medicines such as Tongcao (Tetrapanacis Medulla) and Huashi (Talcum) are sufficient to harm the fetus. This is the fault of the physician, not the medicine. Therefore, Wang's interpretation completely misses the purport of the classic text. (Commentary by Xu Lingtai)
Xu Lingtai commented: Danzuye (Lophatherum Herb) is not entirely appropriate. If fetal movement is caused by accidentally ingesting hot-natured drugs, drinking Moutouji (Mung Bean Juice) is most excellent.
*Daquan* states: Heart pain during pregnancy is due to the intermingling of Wind pathogen and Phlegm-fluid retention. I believe it is mostly caused by stagnant Liver Qi. If the collaterals are injured, the pain comes and goes intermittently, termed "Jue Tong" (Rebellious Pain). If fetal movement occurs with vaginal bleeding, it indicates injury to the Zi Zang (Uterus); An Tai Yin (Fetus-Securing Decoction), Huolong San (Fire Dragon Powder), or Shounian San (Hand-Picking Powder) should be used. For mild cases, a single herb decoction of Sharen (Amomum Fruit) allows Qi regulation and natural relief. If it is truly Zhen Xin Tong (True Heart Pain), characterized by cyanosis of the fingernails, where morning onset leads to evening death and evening onset leads to morning death, no treatment is effective. However, this condition is rare in pregnancy because true heart pain results from Cold invading the Heart, where Water overcomes Fire, extinguishing the Heart Fire. Pregnant women necessarily possess Fetal Heat, so they would not suffer from Cold Water overwhelming the Heart.
The Heart is the Sovereign Official, sitting upright and acting without exertion; how can it feel pain? Pain arises from the stagnation of Liver and Stomach Qi, or the intermingling of Wind pathogen and Phlegm-fluid retention. (Commentary by Xu Lingtai)
