What to do if the fetus is restless

Generally speaking, as long as a pregnant woman is 4 to 5 months pregnant, signs of fetal movement will gradually appear. Fetal movement is a sign of the fetus moving in the mother's belly, so it is a normal physiological manifestation. Moreover, normal fetal movement is also an important sign that the fetus is growing healthily in the mother's womb. However, if a pregnant woman shows signs of fetal movement disorder, she should consider the problem of threatened abortion. What should she do if the fetus is restless?

What to do if the fetus is restless

When the pregnancy reaches a certain stage, there will be fetal movement. Normal fetal movement is a sign of fetal health. But if there is abnormal fetal movement, it is called fetal movement disorder. You must be very careful with this, otherwise you may hurt the fetus or even have a miscarriage. The fundamental reason for fetal movement disorder is that the pregnant woman is weak and cannot nourish the fetus due to blood deficiency. Under this premise, violent rage, sexual intercourse, falls, etc. may all lead to fetal movement disorder.

If the fetus is restless for no apparent reason, or if you have had a miscarriage before and the same mistake is repeated this time, and you are experiencing restless fetuses and are in danger of miscarriage, you should consider the blood deficiency as inability to nourish the fetus and use Siwu Decoction to remove Chuanxiong and add Eucommia and Atractylodes to replenish blood and stabilize the fetus.

The reference dose is:

10g of Angelica sinensis root, 12g of White Peony Root, 12g of Rehmannia Glutinosa, 12g of Eucommia ulmoides, 15g of Stir-fried Atractylodes macrocephala

Siwu Decoction is used to regulate blood and replenish blood, but Chuanxiong is removed because it is too mobile. When the fetus is restless, it needs quiet, and it would not be good to use a mobile medicine. Eucommia ulmoides warms the liver and kidneys and consolidates the fetus, while Atractylodes macrocephala strengthens the spleen and replenishes qi, and it also benefits the waist and navel and can consolidate the fetus.

If the cold symptoms are severe, add Sichuan pepper to the prescription; if there is fire, add Scutellaria baicalensis and Dipsacus asper to the prescription.

Sichuan pepper is a medicine that people don't use much nowadays, but "Golden Chamber" uses it to nourish the fetus because it can open up the spleen and kidneys, dispel cold and dampness, and replenish fire.

Scutellaria baicalensis clears heat from the lungs and reaches the large intestine. Although it is bitter and cold in nature, it does not harm the fetus. It is the most commonly used medicine for clearing heat during pregnancy. Dipsacus asper is bitter and warm in nature, and benefits the liver, kidneys, tendons and bones. As the name suggests, it can connect broken things, so it is widely used in traumatology. Restless fetus is a sign that the fetus is about to break, and Dipsacus asper can also be used to connect them.

Violent anger can damage the liver and cause fetal movement. This kind of plot often appears in movies and TV shows. The fetus originates from the kidney and is connected to the spleen. The kidney is its root, and the healthy functioning of the spleen provides it with qi and blood support. Violent anger will cause the liver qi to rise up and the liver fire to flourish. Once the liver fire is strong, it will absorb a large amount of kidney water, and then the essence used to nourish the fetus will be wasted; moreover, strong liver qi will suppress spleen earth, resulting in poor spleen function and lack of qi and blood. In this way, the twins will lose the capital they rely on for survival and will of course become unstable. From this we can see how important it is to maintain a calm state of mind during pregnancy! In an emergency, you have to treat the symptoms first, soothe the liver and calm anger, use Xiaoyao Pills.
