孕已知觉，用布一幅，阔六七寸长，可横缠腰间两道者，常束腰间直至临盆方解。盖胎当未长成得此腰膂
有力，偶或扑跌不致损胎。及临产解开，腹中乍宽，胎儿转身亦
易，诚护胎之妙诀也。
妇人初受胎，一点精血凝成一粒，形如珠露，乃太极动而生阳，天一生水谓之胚。此月未有宫罗，在KT 户
之间未入腹内，若无寒热疼痛，不必服药。尤不可触犯房劳，致成暗产。
妊娠受胎一月满足，精血近阳，珠露变成赤色，形如桃花瓣子，乃太极静而生阴，地二生火，谓之 。
此月在母阴户内六七寸，已入腹内。未入衣里，或动或不动犹有狐疑。若吐逆、吞酸，有孕明矣。或偏嗜一物，
则知一脏之虚。如爱酸物，乃肝脏不能养血而虚也。
三月形如蚕茧，渐渐长大。一头大一头小，其微圆，未入宫罗，已至脐下，微有薄衣包裹。乃太极干道成
男，坤道成女也，故谓之胎。此月胎最易动，最宜防护。
四月男女已分，始受水精以成血脉，形体初具，六腑顺成。此月已入宫罗之室，衣裹渐至丹田之所，忌食
牛马、猪头诸般发毒之物。
五月始受水精，以成其气，筋骨四肢初成，毛发始生。此月已入宫室，其胎安稳。令人摸之，如覆杯者是
男，如肘颈参差起者是女也。
六月始受金精，以成其筋，口目皆成。此月男动左，女动右，常在脐中，渐渐浮上，如鱼浮水一般。
怀孕后，孕妇已经能感觉到胎动，取一块宽六七寸长的布，能够横向在腰间缠绕两道的，经常束在腰间直到临盆时才解开。这是因为胎儿尚未长成，有了这种腰部支撑力量，偶尔跌倒也不会损伤胎儿。等到临产时解开，腹部突然宽松，胎儿转身也容易，这确实是护胎的妙诀。
妇女刚刚受孕时，一点精血凝结成一粒，形状像露珠，这是太极运动而产生阳，天一生水称为胚。这个月还没有进入子宫（宫罗），还在阴道口与腹部之间，未完全进入腹内，如果没有寒热疼痛等症状，不必服药。尤其不可触犯房事，导致隐性流产。
妊娠受胎一个月满足时，精血靠近阳气，珠露变成赤色，形状像桃花瓣，这是太极静止而产生阴，地二生火，称为胎。这个月在母亲阴道内六七寸处，已经进入腹内。但还未进入子宫内部，有时动有时不动，尚存疑虑。如果出现呕吐、反酸，有孕是明确的。如果偏嗜某种食物，则可知某一脏腑虚弱。如喜爱酸味食物，是肝脏不能养血而虚的表现。
第三个月胎儿形状像蚕茧，逐渐长大。一头大一头小，微微圆润，尚未进入子宫，已到达脐下，有薄薄的衣包裹。这是乾道成男，坤道成女，所以称为胎。这个月胎儿最容易动，最宜防护。
第四个月男女已分，开始接受水精以形成血脉，形体初步具备，六腑顺次形成。这个月已进入子宫室，包裹逐渐到达丹田所在之处，忌食牛马、猪头等各种发毒之物。
第五个月开始接受水精，以形成其气，筋骨四肢初步形成，毛发开始生长。这个月已进入子宫，胎儿安稳。让人触摸，如倒扣杯子状的是男孩，如肘颈参差不齐突起的是女孩。
第六个月开始接受金精，以形成其筋，口目都形成。这个月男孩在左侧动，女孩在右侧动，常在脐中，渐渐浮上，像鱼浮在水面一样。
After pregnancy is confirmed and fetal movement is perceived, use a piece of cloth, six to seven inches wide and long enough to wrap horizontally around the waist twice. Bind it tightly around the waist until delivery, then remove it. This provides support to the lower back and lumbar region (腰膂) while the fetus is not yet fully developed, preventing injury from accidental falls. Upon labor onset, removing the binding allows the abdomen to relax, facilitating fetal turning. This is indeed a wonderful secret for protecting the fetus.
When a woman first conceives, a particle of essence and blood condenses into a grain, shaped like a dewdrop. This represents Taiji moving to generate Yang; "Heaven generates one as Water," termed Pei (Embryo). At this month, it has not yet entered the uterus (Gongluo), remaining between the vaginal opening and the abdominal cavity. If there are no symptoms of cold, heat, or pain, medication is unnecessary. Crucially, sexual activity must be avoided to prevent missed abortion (Anchan).
At one month of gestation, essence and blood approach Yang; the dewdrop turns red, resembling peach blossom petals. This represents Taiji stillness generating Yin; "Earth generates two as Fire," termed Tai (Fetus). It resides six to seven cun inside the vagina, having entered the abdominal cavity but not yet the uterine interior. Fetal movement may be intermittent, causing uncertainty. Vomiting and acid regurgitation clearly indicate pregnancy. Cravings for specific foods indicate deficiency in corresponding Zang organs. For instance, craving sour foods indicates Liver deficiency due to inability to nourish blood.
By the third month, the fetus resembles a silkworm cocoon, growing gradually. It is larger at one end and smaller at the other, slightly round, not yet in the uterus but reaching below the umbilicus, wrapped in a thin membrane. This corresponds to Qian Dao forming male and Kun Dao forming female, thus called Tai. The fetus moves most easily at this stage, requiring utmost protection.
By the fourth month, sex is distinguished. It begins receiving Jing of Water to form blood vessels; the body shape is initially complete, and the Six Fu Organs are smoothly formed. It has entered the uterine chamber, with the wrapping extending towards the Dantian area. Foods such as beef, horse, pork head, and other "fa du" (toxicity-inducing) substances should be avoided.
By the fifth month, it receives Jing of Water to form Qi; bones, sinews, limbs, and hair begin to develop. The fetus is stable within the uterus. Palpation reveals: if the shape resembles an inverted cup, it is a male; if irregular protrusions resembling elbows or necks appear, it is a female.
By the sixth month, it receives Jing of Metal to form sinews; mouth and eyes are formed. Male fetuses move on the left, females on the right. The fetus remains near the umbilicus, gradually rising, resembling a fish floating on water.
