Got my first pregnancy case with herbs who is currently on CHGZGJT w/ cough modification, and I am wondering how to follow up given the following symptoms. The following have improved on the formula: dry mouth, sleep, dry cough, pain and cramps in the lower abdomen, slight tightness in the epigastrium and BMs which were a hint constipated (she now evacuates more easily). The following have not improved yet: fatigue, restlessness, wakes up at night, red pustulas in the stomach 3-4 region, heat of palms and soles, conditions worse in warm-damp weather, stuffy nose and ocasional nose bleeds. Pulse: L roll, cun sup slippery wiry, guan slippery wiry, chi wiry mid and possibly a dong I/II. R cun slippery, guan bigger hollow and wiry, chi sup slippery wiry. I am still new to this and being extra careful with pregnancy. This is also why I did not prescribe GZFLW last time. I also do not know how much of the slippery quality in pregnancy should be addressed. What surprised me: the slipperiness INCREASED with CHGZGJT (is that due to the progressing pregnancy or the formula?) and the pulse seems less suppressed. But I do not see any signs of giving a JZT or the likes. Any brilliant suggestions for me? Thanks so much.
