Pregnancy Disorders
Pregnancy disorders refer to diseases occurring during pregnancy that are related to pregnancy. The occurrence of this condition is due to the fact that after conception, yin blood gathers in the Chong and Ren meridians to nourish the fetus, resulting in a physiological state of yin blood deficiency and yang qi excess in pregnant women; meanwhile, as the fetus grows larger, it often affects the ascending and descending movements of qi. Most pregnant women can adapt to these physiological changes, but those with pre-existing imbalances in zang-fu organs or qi-blood, or who are further affected by pathogenic factors during pregnancy, may injure the zang-fu organs, qi-blood, or Chong-Ren meridians, thus leading to pregnancy disorders.

Pregnancy nausea and vomiting refers to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and loss of appetite after pregnancy, or even vomiting immediately after eating.
