Patient's question:
Medical History: Before being 9 weeks pregnant, I had several instances where I couldn't control myself and argued with my husband. It escalated to the point where both of us got physical, throwing and kicking things. At the time, I couldn't control my emotions and cried uncontrollably, then quickly drank Prenatal Kang Oral Liquid. Afterwards, I felt very regretful and saw online that this could potentially cause cleft lip and palate, which made me extremely scared. Can ultrasounds later check for this condition? No matter what, I will never argue again, even if I'm wrongly accused, for the sake of the baby, I won't argue anymore!Previous Treatment and Effects: At 7 weeks, I had an ultrasound, which showed everything was normal, including a fetal heartbeat. Blood and urine tests were also normal. I had no early pregnancy symptoms, ate well, but often felt bloated. The doctor prescribed two boxes of Prenatal Kang, which I took intermittently.

Doctor's answer:
If the expectant mother has a volatile temperament, frequent emotional fluctuations, excessive sensitivity, suspicion, narrow-mindedness, and often cries, the baby born will have significantly low birth weight, and it may even be prone to miscarriage during pregnancy. The reason is simple: anger harms the liver, joy harms the heart, worry harms the spleen, sadness harms the lungs, and fear harms the kidneys.Starting in the second month of pregnancy, the oral roof and upper jaw of the fetus in the womb begin to develop and form. During this period, sudden accidents that cause the expectant mother to cry or become overly anxious may lead to fetal deformities such as cleft lip or cleft palate. In the later stages of pregnancy, if the expectant mother frequently cries and has poor mental state—such as fear, depression, or significant emotional fluctuations—it can trigger a series of changes in the mother's blood circulation, such as poor blood flow and oxygen deprivation. This may cause the fetus's to increase or decrease.
