From the first day they learn about Youxi, most expectant mothers, in addition to excitement and joy, are also a little worried. Will the baby grow up safely? Can you successfully survive the long pregnancy preparation period in October? Will you be able to give birth to your baby healthily?
Traditional Chinese Medicine protects you during pregnancy
Generally speaking, if a pregnant mother is pregnant, no matter what physical discomfort she has, as a doctor, I do not recommend taking medicine to protect the fetus. In fact, paying attention to your diet, not overexerting yourself, living a normal life, being in a cheerful mood, and receiving meticulous care from the expectant father are what you need most for a healthy life during pregnancy.
However, if a miscarriage occurs after pregnancy, it will cause great psychological and physical harm to the expectant mother and her family. Moreover, many women\’s spontaneous abortions often occur repeatedly, casting a shadow on many families. Therefore, when the tire slips and becomes unstable, you still need to ask a Chinese medicine practitioner to protect your tire. Zhongxi believes that the causes of miscarriage are very complex, and endocrine disorders, abnormal pregnancy immune regulation, and abnormal uterine morphology are all suspected culprits.
At present, Western medicine does not have a very effective contraceptive method. Most of them are progesterone supplements such as progesterone, but this method may cause adverse reactions. Chinese medicine anti-pregnancy is more about regulating the internal organs, qi, blood, and meridians of the expectant mother, so that the expectant mother\’s physical functions can be improved, and the fetus will naturally be healthy. Upregulated. Appropriate use of traditional Chinese medicine will not cause harm to the fetus. The intelligence and health of babies born after taking traditional Chinese medicine for miscarriage will not be affected. It can be said that traditional Chinese medicine for tocolysis has no side effects.
The health code of traditional Chinese medicine for fetal protection
Traditional Chinese medicine tocolysis is suitable for older mothers and expectant mothers with habitual miscarriage. Generally, Chinese medicine practitioners will prepare appropriate medicines according to each person\’s constitution to achieve the best anti-fetal effect. According to TCM syndrome differentiation, the constitution of expectant mothers can be divided into deficiency and excess, such as kidney deficiency, spleen and kidney deficiency, blood heat and blood stasis, and cold and heat.
1. Functional miscarriage mainly focuses on nourishing the kidneys and strengthening the spleen.
For expectant mothers who miscarry due to dysfunction, kidney deficiency and spleen and kidney deficiency are the most common symptoms in traditional Chinese medicine. The main symptoms include soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, dull pain in the lower abdomen, dizziness and tinnitus, a small amount of postpartum vaginal bleeding, pale color, and dark spots on the face or eye sockets. However, some women are usually weak and have a history of spontaneous abortion, which is common in luteal dysfunction and immune regulation disorders during pregnancy.
The kidney-tonifying and spleen-tonifying traditional Chinese medicine compound can increase the levels of hCG and progesterone in early pregnancy of expectant mothers, has a protective effect on the embryo, and is conducive to the establishment and maintenance of normal pregnancy. Traditional Chinese medicine\’s prevention and treatment of spontaneous abortion emphasizes syndrome differentiation and treatment, overall adjustment, combination of prevention and treatment, and consolidating the foundation to protect the fetus.
2. For those with a history of uterine fibroids who have suffered repeated miscarriages, nourishing Qi and activating blood circulation is the main method
The clinical manifestations of such expectant mothers may include abdominal pain, backache, irritability, dry mouth, etc. The treatment method is to replenish qi and blood, activate blood circulation and stabilize fetus.

Remember, there is no one prescription that works for everyone. For abortion, it must be prescribed by a doctor.
3. Pregnant mothers with yin deficiency and yang excess need to clear away heat and nourish blood.
In areas with warm climates, expectant mothers with yin deficiency or excess yang constitution are very common, often manifesting as blood-heat syndrome. Its main clinical manifestations are flushed face and upset, dry mouth and throat, or five upset stomachs with fever, a small amount of vaginal bleeding after pregnancy, bright red or deep red, sticky texture, lower abdominal pain, backache, constipation, and yellow urine. The treatment method is mainly to clear away heat, nourish blood, nourish kidney and calm fetus.

Pay attention to safety when using traditional Chinese medicine
Safety is very important when expecting mothers use medications. In fact, not all traditional Chinese medicines can be used by expectant mothers, such as laxative rhubarb, kansui, euphorbia, yuanchuan, leech, triangle grass, blood-breaking dung beetle, and scorpions that are poisonous in themselves. Chinese herbal medicine, Centipede and other drugs are prohibited during pregnancy, and drugs that promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, such as safflower, peach kernel, etc., must also be used with caution. However, these drugs represent only a small subset and are not frequently used clinically. Most Chinese medicines are very safe for expectant mothers. If you choose a qualified Chinese medicine practitioner, there will be no misuse.
In addition, Chinese medicine also believes that taking Chinese medicine during pregnancy must be symptomatic. Even if you take ordinary tonics, they should be moderate and consistent with the physique of the expectant mother. Expectant mothers should not abuse traditional Chinese medicine supplements after pregnancy, especially those that are sexually warming. Not only is it not good for the fetus and the expectant mother, but it will aggravate symptoms such as vomiting of pregnancy and elevated blood pressure.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that after pregnancy, Yin blood gathers to nourish the fetus, which will put the expectant mother\’s body in a state of insufficient Yin blood.
The physiological state of overactive yang energy, so when taking supplements, you should pay attention to cooling the supplement before delivery. For example, scutellaria baicalensis is a traditional Chinese medicine that has a heat-clearing effect. If the symptoms of yin deficiency and internal heat are severe, you can take some supplements that nourish yin and blood under the guidance of a doctor, such as white fungus soup with a mild taste.
Women who have experienced the arduous tasks of pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum care for young children can deeply understand that being a mother is not an easy task. It may be difficult for fathers who just sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor to understand the hard work! However, what is all this hard work compared to hearing the baby\’s first cry and seeing the baby\’s gentle, cute little face? What could be more satisfying and sweet than holding a healthy baby in your arms? I would like to warn all expectant fathers that the emotions of expectant mothers are as important as their bodies. Please be considerate, caring and helpful so that every expectant mother can experience heartfelt happiness and joy, so that the babies born will be more beautiful. Smarter, more optimistic, more cheerful.
