Fuling Wan (Cinnamon Twig and Poria Pill, see "Ancient Formulas in Furen Gui") warms the stomach and calms the fetus. It treats restlessness, dizziness, vomiting upon smelling food, or chest and abdominal fullness and stuffiness during pregnancy.
Ingredients: Chi Fuling (Red Poria), Renshen (Ginseng), Guixin (Cinnamon Twig), Ganjiang (Dried Ginger, processed), Banxia (Pinellia, soaked, washed, and stir-fried until yellow), Juhong (Tangerine Peel, each 1 liang), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala, stir-fried), Gancao (Licorice, stir-fried), Zhike (Bitter Orange, bran-stir-fried, each 2 liang).
Preparation and administration: Grind the above ingredients into powder, make pills with honey the size of tung tree seeds. Take 50 pills per dose, administered with rice water, three times a day. The original formula also contains Gegen (Kudzu Root) 2 liang, which seems inappropriate; users should adjust accordingly.

Liangfang Huangqi Tang (Huangqi Decoction from Good Prescriptions, see "Ancient Formulas in Furen Gui") treats fetal movement due to Qi deficiency, accompanied by abdominal pain and watery discharge.
Ingredients: Nuomi (Glutinous Rice, 1 he), Huangqi (Astragalus, stir-fried), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum, each 1 liang).
Preparation and administration: Decoct in water, divide into three doses.

Qiwei Ejiao San (Seven-Ingredient Donkey-Hide Gelatin Powder, see "Ancient Formulas in Furen Gui") treats fetal movement and abdominal pain.
Ingredients: Ejiao (Donkey-Hide Gelatin, stir-fried), Bai Fuling (White Poria), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala, stir-fried), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis), Chenpi (Aged Tangerine Peel, each 1 qian), Gancao (Licorice, stir-fried, 3 fen).

Taishan Panshi San (Mount Tai Rock-Solid Powder, see "Ancient Formulas in Furen Gui") treats women with dual deficiency of Qi and Blood, or those who are obese but physically weak, or thin with heat in the blood, or with Spleen and Liver weakness, fatigue, and poor appetite, suffering from recurrent miscarriages. This formula is mild and nourishes the Qi and Blood of the Spleen and Stomach. If heat is felt, double the Huangqin (Scutellaria) and reduce Sharen (Amomum). If Stomach Qi is weak, use more Sharen and less Huangqin. Furthermore, one should abstain from sexual activity and anger, and avoid alcohol, vinegar, and spicy/hot foods, thereby ensuring no miscarriage occurs. Xu Donggao said: "When women miscarry habitually at two or three months of pregnancy, it is called Xiao Chan (minor abortion). This is due to weak constitution, dual deficiency of Qi and Blood, excessive fire in the Zang-Fu organs, and heat in the blood component. Physicians also say that calming the fetus often involves Ai Ye (Mugwort), Fuzi (Aconite), and Sharen, but warm tonification increases disaster and accelerates miscarriage. Little do they know that when Qi and Blood are clear and harmonious, without fire scorching, the fetus naturally remains secure. Qi deficiency fails to hold the fetus, while blood heat causes reckless bleeding; how can miscarriage be prevented? Xiangfu (Cyperus) is said to move Qi and relieve depression, but excessive use damages righteous Qi. Sharen moves Spleen Qi, but excessive use consumes true Qi. Moreover, their aromatic-dry nature damages both Qi and Blood; seeking to calm the fetus actually damages it and causes miscarriage. Now, only Taishan Panshi San and Qianjin Baoyun Wan possess the miraculous efficacy of creation, hitting the mark every time with no failure. I hereby reveal them for the knowledge of benevolent gentlemen." (Note: Xu's view appears in "Taichan Xu Zhi · Treating Habitual Miscarriage During Pregnancy." However, I believe it is one-sided. Taishan Panshi San is essentially Shengyu Tang combined with Huangqin, Baizhu, plus Chuanxuduan (Dipsacus), Zhi Gancao (Honey-fried Licorice), Sharen, and Nuomi. It is suitable for Qi and Blood deficiency with heat but no vaginal bleeding; however, if there is no heat but vaginal bleeding occurs, it is not appropriate.)
Ingredients: Renshen (Ginseng), Huangqi (Astragalus), Danggui (Angelica Sinensis), Chuanxuduan (Dipsacus), Huangqin (Scutellaria, each 1 qian), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum), Baishaoyao (White Peony Root), Shudi (Prepared Rehmannia, each 8 fen), Baizhu (Atractylodes Macrocephala, 2 qian), Zhi Gancao (Honey-fried Licorice), Sharen (Amomum, each 5 fen), Nuomi (Glutinous Rice, a pinch).
