答：妊娠到了第八、九个月出现腿脚肿胀的，不能当作水气病来治疗，恐怕会损伤孕妇的真气。出现这种症状的，说明胎儿容易分娩。这是因为子宫内羊水与血液都充足，不会导致胎儿干燥，所以说容易分娩。此时应当服用顺气滑胎的药物。如果是刚怀孕就出现肿胀的，则是水气过多，胎儿尚未成形，恐怕会损伤胎元。
枳壳散：滋养胎气，安和子宫，治疗妊娠期间的一切恶疾，能使胎儿顺滑、易于分娩。
药材：枳壳（去瓤炒制四两）、甘草（炙制一两）。
制法用法：将上述药物研为细末。每次服用二钱，用沸水冲服。空腹服用。进入妊娠月份后，每日进服三次。
榆白皮汤：使胎儿顺滑、易于分娩。治疗妊娠期间曾因漏胎失血，临产前惊动过早，产期未到而污血先下，导致胎胞干燥，临产困难的情况。
药材：冬葵子（一两）、木通（半两）、榆白皮（一两）、瞿麦（一两）、牛膝（去苗，酒浸焙干）、大麻仁（去壳，各三分）。
制法用法：将上述药物研为粗末。每次取三钱，加水一盏半，煎至八分满，去渣温服。不拘时间。
救生散：安胎益气，易于分娩。
药材：人参、诃子（湿纸包裹煨熟去核）、陈皮（炒制）、白术（炒制）、大麦肉（炒制）、神曲（炒制，各半两）。
制法用法：将上述药物研为细末。每次服用二钱，加水一盏，煎至六分满，去渣。进入妊娠月份后药量加倍，用水二盏，煎至一盏，空腹温服。服用此方能令胎儿体型紧小，乳母无患。
答：阴脉搏动有力且与阳脉有别，称为有孕。这是气血调和，阳气施化、阴气孕育的结果。诊察手少阴心经脉搏动明显的，是怀孕的表现。所谓“妊”，是阳气既已授始，阴气加以孕育；“娠”则是按时而动，所以称为妊娠。
妊娠第一个月，名为始胚。饮食要精细煮熟，喜好酸美之味，适宜食用大麦，不要吃腥膻辛辣之物，这叫做正才（确立胎元基础）。妊娠第一个月，由足厥阴肝经滋养，不可针灸这条经脉。足厥阴肝经内属于肝，肝主管筋和血。第一个月时，血行滞涩，不宜从事体力劳动，心境要安静，不要惊恐畏惧。妊娠第一个月，阴阳新结合成胎元，寒邪多则疼痛，热邪多则突然受惊，举重会腰疼，腹部胀满拘急，突然阴道出血，应当预先安胎。适宜服用乌雌鸡汤。
药材：乌雌鸡（一只，按常法炙烤食用）、茯苓（二两）、吴茱萸（一升）、芍药、人参、白术（各三两）、麦门冬（五合）、阿胶（二两）、甘草（一两）。
制法用法：将以上九味药切碎。用水一斗二升煮鸡，取汁六升，去掉鸡肉，放入其他药物，煎取三升，加入酒三升，并将阿胶烊化尽，最终取三升药液放温。每次服用一升，每日三次。
若妊娠曾在第一个月流产者，进入该月份时，应预先服用此药治疗，即补胎汤。
药材：人参、防风、细辛、乌梅肉、白术（各一两）、大麦（一合）、熟地黄（一两）、吴茱萸（半两，洗七次）。
制法用法：将上述药物制成饮子剂型。每次服用三钱，加水一盏半，生姜三片，煎至七分满，去渣空腹服用。寒邪重者加倍使用细辛和吴茱萸；口渴者去掉细辛，加栝楼根；若思虑过度，去掉大麦，加柏子仁三合服用。
妊娠第二个月，名为始膏。不要吃腥膻辛辣之物，居住在清静之处，男子不要劳累。全身关节皆痛，这叫做胎藏。少阳经是胆的经脉，主管精气。第二个月时，胎儿的精气在胞宫内形成，所以由足少阳胆经滋养。足少阳经位于足小趾间，本节后附骨上一寸凹陷处。妊娠第二个月，阴阳居于经脉之中，若有寒邪，多致胎儿发育不良；若有热邪，则胎儿萎弱怯懦。若中风寒导致动摇，会出现心下痞满，脐下胀急，腰背强痛，突然阴道出血，忽冷忽热，应服用艾叶汤。
药材：人参、当归、艾叶、甘草、麻黄（去根节）、丹参（各一两）、阿胶（炒制二两）。
制法用法：将上述药物切碎。每次取一两，加水一盏半，大枣三枚，生姜五片，好酒一盏，煎至半盏，去渣分为两次服用，饭前服用。
若妊娠曾在第二个月流产者，进入该月份时，应预先养护胎藏，服用黄芩汤。
药材：黄芩、人参、阿胶（各一两，炒碎）、当归（半两，炒干）、吴茱萸（一分，洗七次，焙干微炒）。
制法用法：将上述药物切碎。每次服用三钱，加水一盏半，生姜三片，煎至八分满，去渣，饭前服用。如果感觉非常不安，加乌梅一两。
妊娠第三个月，始胎（胎形初具）。在这个时候，血气不流通，形象开始变化，还没有固定的形态，见什么像什么（受外界影响）。希望让孕妇见到尊贵显赫的王公好人，端正庄严的人；不希望见到驼背侏儒、丑陋畸形的人，以及猿猴之类。不要吃姜和兔肉，不要怀抱刀绳。想要生男孩的，拿弓箭射雄鸡，骑肥马在田野奔跑，观看虎豹和奔跑的狗；想要生女孩的，佩戴簪珂耳环，玩弄珠玉。希望孩子美好端正的，多看看白玉美玉，看孔雀，吃鲤鱼；希望孩子多智有力量的，吃牛心，吃大麦；希望孩子贤良盛德的，要端心正坐，清虚专一，坐没有歪斜的席子，站没有偏倚的姿势，走没有邪僻的小路，看没有邪视的东西，说没有邪僻的话，想没有邪念的事，不妄喜怒，不得思虑过度，吃东西不贪多，睡觉姿势不正，脚不横伸。想吃瓜果，就吃酸味的腌菜，喜欢芬芳的气味，厌恶看见秽臭之物，这叫做外象改变胎形。由手心主经（心包络）滋养。手心主经脉中有精神，内属于心，能统摄精神，所以由手心主经滋养。手心主穴在手掌后横纹处。诊察妊娠脉象滑利疾速，重按之手感散漫的，是怀孕三个月了。妊娠三个月定形，有寒邪则大便青色，有热邪则小便赤色，不赤则为黄色。如果突然惊恐恐惧，忧愁愤怒，伤动筋脉，会出现绕脐痛或腰背痛，突然阴道出血，应服用雄鸡汤。
药材：人参、麦门冬、白茯苓、当归、白术、甘草、川芎、白芍（各一两）、阿胶（二两）。
制法用法：将上述药物切碎。每次服用一两，加入煮好的乌鸡汁一盏半，大枣二枚，好酒一盏，煎至一盏半，去渣分为两次服用，饭前服用。
若妊娠曾在第三个月流产者，进入该月份宜服用茯神饮子。
药材：茯苓、丹参、龙骨（各一两）、人参、阿胶（炒制）、当归、甘草（炙制，各二两）、赤小豆（炒制一合）。
制法用法：将上述药物切碎。每次服用三钱，加水一盏半，大枣一枚，煎至八分满，去渣温服。腰痛者加桑寄生二两，空腹服用。
妊娠第四个月时，开始接受水精以形成血脉。饮食适宜麦粳，羹汤适宜鱼雁，这叫做盛荣，用以通耳目而行经络。洗浴时要远避寒暑。手少阳经是三焦的经脉，内属于腑。第四个月时，胎儿六腑顺遂而成，所以由手少阳三焦经滋养。手少阳穴在手小指间，本节后二寸处。诊察妊娠四个月，欲知男女，左脉疾速为男。手少阳脉内属于三焦。静养形体，调和心志，节制饮食。妊娠四月若有寒邪，心中想呕吐，胸满不想吃饭；有热邪则小便频数像淋证一样，脐下拘急。突然感受风寒，项颈强痛，寒热交替，惊惕，腰背及腹痛，往来不定，或者胎气上迫心头烦闷不安，突然阴道出血，适宜服用菊花汤。
药材：当归、人参、麦门冬、甘草、麻黄（去节）、半夏（汤洗七次）、阿胶（炒制二两）、菊花（半两）。
制法用法：将上述药物切碎。每次服用四钱，加水一盏半，生姜三片，大枣一枚，煎至八分满，去渣空腹温服。如果不是风寒引起的项强，应当去掉麻黄和半夏，因为这两味药能损伤胎元。
调中汤：
药材：白芍、白术、柴胡、甘草（炙制）、乌梅肉、续断、当归、川芎、枳实、浓朴、甘李根皮（体弱者去掉，各等分）。
制法用法：将上述药物切碎。每次服用三钱，加水一盏半，生姜四片，煎至八分满，去渣温服，空腹服用。
妊娠第五个月，开始接受火精以形成其气。睡觉一定要晚起，洗衣服要在洁净的房间，衣服一定要穿厚。早晨吸收天光以避开寒灾。饮食适宜稻麦，羹汤适宜牛羊，用茱萸调和，五味调味，这叫做养气以安定五脏。另一版本说，适宜食鱼鳖。足太阴脾经滋养。足太阴脾经主管四季，第五个月时，胎儿四肢皆成，所以由足太阴脾经滋养。足太阴经的穴位在足内踝上三寸处。诊察妊娠脉象，重按不散，但疾速不滑利的，是怀孕五个月。又脉数者，因先前怀孕；脉紧者，必胞阻；脉迟者，心腹满喘；脉浮者，必是水怀（水肿）。
妊娠五月若有热邪，头眩心乱想呕吐的；有寒邪，则腹痛小便难，突然心悸恐惧，四肢疼痛，寒热胎动无常，或者跌仆腹痛，有所不安，服用旋复花汤。
药材：旋复花、当归、人参、黄芪（另一版本为黄芩）、麦门冬、赤芍、吴茱萸（洗七次，各一两）、阿胶（炒制二两）、甘草（炙制半两）。
制法用法：将上述药物切碎。每次服用四钱，加水一盏半，生姜三片，好酒三分，煎至八分满，空腹温服。
妊娠第六个月，开始接受金精以变腠理脊筋，以滋养指甲，以坚固背脊。足阳明胃经滋养。足阳明胃经主管口目，第六个月时，胎儿口目皆成，所以由足阳明胃经滋养。足阳明穴在太冲上二寸处。
妊娠六月，突然胎动不安，寒热往来，腹痛满身肿，惊怖阴道出血，腹痛状如临产，手足烦热，并宜服用麦门冬汤。
药材：麦门冬、人参、甘草（炙制）、黄芩（各一两）、熟地黄、阿胶（蛤粉炒制，各二两）。
制法用法：将上述药物切碎。每次服用四钱，加水一盏半，入酒五分，生姜五片，大枣二枚，煎至八分满，去渣温服，饭前服用。
若妊娠曾在六个月损伤流产者，进入该月份预服柴胡散。
药材：柴胡（去苗）、白芍、麦门冬、熟地黄、肉苁蓉（酒浸焙干）、川芎、白术（各一两）、甘草（炙制半两）。
制法用法：将上述药物切碎。每次服用四钱，加水一盏半，大枣三枚，煎至八分满，去渣温服，空腹服用。
妊娠第七个月，开始接受木精以形成骨骼。身体劳作摇动肢体，不要让身体安逸，动作屈伸，居处必须干燥，饮食避开寒冷，常适宜吃粳稻以密固腠理，这叫做养骨坚固牙齿。手太阴肺经滋养。手太阴即肺，肺主管皮毛，第七个月时，胎儿皮肤已成，所以由手太阴肺经滋养。手太阴穴在手大指本节后白肉际凹陷处。诊察妊娠七月脉象，实大牢强者为生，沉细者为死。怀孕七月，突然腹泻一斗多的水，胎必受伤而堕，这不是正常的羊水提前破裂，而是孤浆预下。出现喘促，颈项腰背强痛，服用葱白汤。
药材：半夏（汤洗七次）、黄芪、人参、当归、黄芩（各一两）、阿胶（炒制二两）、旋复花、甘草（炙制）、麦门冬（去心，各等分）。
制法用法：将上述药物切碎。每次服用四钱，加水一盏半，生姜三片，葱白二寸，好酒半盏，煎至八分满，去渣温服，空腹服用。

药材：杏仁（泡去皮尖）、钟乳粉、紫菀、吴茱萸、甘草（炙制）、干姜（炮制）、五味子、麦门冬、粳米（各等分）。
制法用法：将上述药物切碎。每次服用四钱，加水一盏半，煎至八分满，去渣空腹服用。
妊娠第八个月，开始接受土精以形成皮肤。调和心境，平静休息，不要让气机极度耗损，这叫做密固腠理而光泽颜色。手阳明大肠经滋养。手阳明即大肠，大肠主管九窍，第八个月时，胎儿九窍皆成，所以由手阳明大肠经滋养。手阳明穴在大指本节后宛宛中处。诊察妊娠八月脉象，实大牢强弦紧者为生，沉细者为死。妊娠八月，忽然中风寒，有所触犯，身体疼痛，乍寒乍热，胎动不安，常常头晕，绕脐疼痛。有寒邪，小便白浊，或者再次漏下，颜色不定，腰背冷痛，视物模糊，全部适宜服用芍药汤。

Answer: When leg and foot swelling occurs in the eighth or ninth month of pregnancy, it should not be treated as a water-disease (Shui Bing), lest it damage the true Qi (Zhen Qi). The appearance of this symptom indicates that delivery will be easy. This is because the uterus contains abundant amniotic fluid and blood, preventing fetal dryness; hence, it is said to be easy to deliver. At this time, herbs that regulate Qi and facilitate smooth delivery should be taken. If swelling occurs at the beginning of pregnancy, it is due to excessive water-Qi, and since the fetus has not yet formed, it may damage the fetal origin.
Zhike San (Bitter Orange Powder): Nourishes fetal Qi, harmonizes the Zang organs (specifically the uterus), treats all malignant conditions during pregnancy, and makes the fetus slippery for easy delivery.
Ingredients: Zhike (Fructus Aurantii, removed pith and stir-fried, 4 liang), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, honey-fried, 1 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Grind the above ingredients into a fine powder. Take 2 qian per dose, mixed with boiling water. Take on an empty stomach. Once the pregnancy months have passed, take three times daily.
Yubai Pi Tang (Elm Bark Decoction): Facilitates smooth and easy delivery. Treats cases where vaginal bleeding occurred during pregnancy due to threatened miscarriage, premature excitement before labor, or discharge of lochia before the due date, leading to a dry uterine sac and difficult labor.
Ingredients: Dongkuizi (Semen Malvae, 1 liang), Mutong (Caulis Akebiae, 0.5 liang), Yubai Pi (Cortex Ulmi, 1 liang), Qumai (Herba Dianthi, 1 liang), Niuxi (Radix Achyranthis Bidentatae, stems removed, soaked in wine and baked), Dama Ren (Semen Cannabis, shelled, 3 fen each).
Preparation and Administration: Grind the above ingredients into a coarse powder. Take 3 qian per dose, add 1.5 cups of water, decoct until 0.8 cup remains, remove dregs, and take warm. Do not restrict the time of administration.
Jiusheng San (Life-Saving Powder): Calms the fetus, tonifies Qi, and facilitates delivery.
Ingredients: Renshen (Radix Ginseng), Hezi (Fructus Chebulae, wrapped in wet paper, baked until ripe, pitted), Chenpi (Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae, stir-fried), Baizhu (Radix Atractylodis Macrocephalae, stir-fried), Damai Rou (Endosperm Hordei Vulgaris, stir-fried), Shenqu (Massa Medicata Fermentata, stir-fried, 0.5 liang each).

Once the pregnancy months have passed, double the dosage: use 2 cups of water, decoct until 1 cup remains, and take warm on an empty stomach. Taking this formula results in a compact fetus and protects the nursing mother from harm.
Answer: "The Yin pulse beats strongly and differs from the Yang pulse" indicates pregnancy. This signifies the harmony of Qi and Blood, where Yang imparts and Yin nurtures. Palpating the Heart-Shaoyin pulse (Hand Shaoyin Heart Meridian) showing vigorous movement indicates pregnancy. "Ren" (conception) means Yang has initiated, and Yin nurtures; "Shen" (gestation) means moving according to time; thus, it is called "Ren-Shen" (pregnancy).
In the first month of pregnancy, named "Shi Pei" (Initial Embryo): Diet should be finely cooked, favoring sour and delicious flavors. Barley is suitable; avoid raw, pungent, or spicy foods. This is called "Zheng Cai" (Establishing the Foundation). The Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian nourishes the fetus in the first month; acupuncture and moxibustion on this meridian are prohibited. The Foot-Jueyin Liver Meridian connects internally to the Liver, which governs sinews and Blood. In the first month, Blood flow is sluggish; avoid strenuous labor, maintain mental tranquility, and avoid fear. In the first month, Yin and Yang newly combine to form the embryo. Excess Cold causes pain; excess Heat causes sudden fright. Lifting heavy objects causes lower back pain; abdominal fullness and urgency occur; sudden vaginal bleeding requires immediate fetal stabilization. Wuci Ji Tang (Black Hen Chicken Decoction) is suitable.
Ingredients: Wuci Ji (Black Hen Chicken, one, roasted as usual for eating), Fuling (Poria, 2 liang), Wuzhuyu (Fructus Evodiae, 1 sheng), Shaoyao (Radix Paeoniae Alba/Lactiflorae), Renshen (Radix Ginseng), Baizhu (Radix Atractylodis Macrocephalae, 3 liang each), Maimendong (Radix Ophiopogonis, 5 he), Ejiao (Colla Corii Asini, 2 liang), Gancao (Radix Glycyrrhizae, 1 liang).
Preparation and Administration: Chop the nine ingredients. Boil the chicken in 12 sheng of water, obtain 6 sheng of broth. Remove the chicken, add other herbs, decoct to obtain 3 sheng. Add 3 sheng of wine and melt the Ejiao completely. Obtain 3 sheng total. Let cool to warm. Take 1 sheng per dose, three times daily.

Preparation and Administration: Prepare as a decoction. Take 3 qian per dose, add 1.5 cups of water, 3 slices of ginger, decoct to 0.7 portion, remove dregs, and take on an empty stomach. For excess Cold, double Xixin and Wuzhuyu; for thirst, remove Xixin and add Gualougen (Radix Trichosanthis); for overthinking, remove Damai and add Baiziren (Semen Platycladi, 3 he).
In the second month of pregnancy, named "Shi Gao" (Initial Paste): Avoid raw, pungent, or spicy foods. Dwell in quiet places; men should avoid exertion. Pain in all joints occurs; this is called "Tai Zang" (Fetal Store). Shaoyang is the meridian of the Gallbladder, governing Essence. In the second month, the fetus's essence forms in the uterus, so the Foot-Shaoyang Gallbladder Meridian nourishes it. The Foot-Shaoyang meridian is located between the little toe, one cun posterior to the metatarsophalangeal joint in the depression against the bone. In the second month, Yin and Yang reside in the meridians. Cold leads to malformation; Heat leads to withering and weakness. Wind-Cold causing shaking results in chest fullness, umbilical urgency, stiff back, sudden vaginal bleeding, alternating chills and fever. Aiye Tang (Mugwort Leaf Decoction) is indicated.

In the third month of pregnancy, "Shi Tai" (Initial Fetus) begins. At this time, Blood and Qi do not circulate freely; the form begins to change but lacks fixed features, influenced by what is seen. One should view noble, dignified, and handsome people; avoid seeing hunchbacks, dwarfs, ugly deformities, or monkeys. Avoid ginger and rabbit meat; do not hold knives or ropes. To conceive a boy, handle bows and arrows, shoot roosters, ride fat horses in fields, observe tigers/leopards, and watch running dogs. To conceive a girl, wear hairpins and jade ornaments, play with pearls/jades. To ensure beauty and uprightness, frequently view white jade and peacocks, eat carp. To ensure wisdom and strength, eat beef heart and barley. To ensure virtue, sit upright, maintain mental purity, avoid crooked seats, leaning postures, evil paths, improper gazes, wicked words, and evil thoughts. Control emotions, avoid excessive worry. Eat moderate portions, sleep properly, do not stretch legs horizontally. Cravings for fruits can be satisfied with sour pickles; prefer fragrant smells, avoid foul odors. This is "External Image Changing the Form." The Hand-Jueyin Pericardium Meridian nourishes the fetus. The Pericardium governs Spirit and connects to the Heart. The acupoint is at the wrist crease. Palpating a slippery and rapid pulse, scattering when pressed heavily, indicates three months of pregnancy. In the third month, the form is set.

This is called "Sheng Rong" (Abundant Prosperity), used to open the eyes and ears and circulate through meridians. Bathing should avoid extreme cold and heat. Hand-Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian nourishes the fetus. It connects internally to the Fu organs. In the fourth month, the six Fu organs are completed, so Hand-Shaoyang nourishes it. The acupoint is two cun posterior to the metacarpophalangeal joint of the little finger. To determine gender at four months: rapid left pulse indicates male. Hand-Shaoyang connects to Sanjiao. Rest the body, harmonize the mind, regulate diet. Cold causes nausea and chest fullness/anorexia; Heat causes frequent urination resembling strangury and umbilical urgency.
