If the fetal development has stalled or is slowed (for various reasons), then the pregnant woman should be advised to take ''shali'' rice (cooked Oriza sativa Linn.) which is soft, sweet and cool, with meat juices (seasoned with ghee), of one or more of the following animals- the hawk, fish, ''gayal'', peacock, rooster, or partridge -  or with gruel of ''masha'' (Phaseolusradiates Linn - black gram) or with the soup of radish, with plenty of ghee. She also should be massaged with lukewarm oil (''tila taila''-gingilly oil) over her abdomen, pelvic region, groin, thigh, waist, sides and back. [28]

In case the pregnant woman develops constipation due to ''udavarta'' (misperistalsis) in the eighth month and if it cannot be treated with unctuous enema, then the physician should treat her with non-unctuous enema that may relieve her condition. If the disorder of misperistalsis is neglected, it may abruptly turn fatal for both the mother and the fetus or for the fetus alone. In such conditions, a decoction prepared with the roots of ''virana'' (Veriveriazizanoides Nash), ''shali'' (Oryzasativa Linn), ''sashtika'' (a variety of Oryza species), ''kusha'' (Desmostachya bipinnata Staf), ''kasha'' (Saccharum spontaneum Linn.), ''ikshuvalika'' (Asteracanthalongifolia Nees), ''vetasa'' (Salixcaprea Linn.), ''parivyadha'' (type of Vetasa, Salix species) ''bhutika'' (Trachyspermumammi Sprague), ''ananta'' (Hemidesmus indicusR. B.), ''kashmarya'' (Gmelinaarborea Linn.), ''parushaka'' (Grewiaasiatica Linn.), ''madhuka'' (Glycyrrhizaglabra Linn) and mridwika (Vitisvinifera Linn.), prepared with milk and mixed with half that volume of water containing paste of priyala (Buchananialanzan Spreng), ''bibhitakamajja'' (the seed pulp of Terminaliabelerica Roxb.), ''tila'' (Sesamumindicum Linn.) and salt (Saindhava – rock salt) should be used for non-unctuous enema. Once the constipation is relieved, she should be sprinkled with lukewarm water and then given food having stabilizing properties and which will not cause any burning sensation.

In the evening, she should be treated with unctuous enema of oil prepared with sweet drugs. The enema should be administered to her in a bent-down position (fetal, knee-to-the-chest position). [29]

If the foetus dies in the womb as a result of excessive increase of doshas caused due to over-indulgence in pungent and hot things, or due to suppression of urges to pass flatulence, urine and bowel movement, or due to faulty eating, faulty sitting, lying down or standing or due to compression (of the womb) and injuries, or passion, grief, envy, horror, fear etc., or due to intensive/extreme physical activities, then the stomach will be still, rigid, bloated up, cold and stony-hard. This condition would be accompanied by severe pain in the stomach, but the labour pains do not set in and there is no discharge. The woman’s eyes will droop and she may feel nauseous, pain, is in agony, giddiness, and breathlessness with intense restlessness. The natural urges also will not be proper as routine. If these features are seen in a pregnant woman, then it should be construed that the foetus is dead. [30]
