Full transcript
At twenty-six weeks, we recommend a glucose tolerance test to check for gestational diabetes. It helps us monitor your baby's growth and your own health during pregnancy.
Ek het al daarvan gehoor, maar ek is nie heeltemal seker wat dit behels nie. Moet ek vas voordat ek daarheen gaan?
Yes, you'll need to fast for eight hours beforehand—no food or drink except water. Please arrive by nine on the morning of the test.
My ma het swangerskapdiabetes gehad. Beteken dit ek het 'n groter kans om dit ook te kry?
Yes, a family history does increase your risk slightly. That's exactly why we recommend this screening—so we can catch any issues early and manage them safely.
Is hierdie toets verpligtend, of kan ek besluit om dit nie te doen nie?
It's not compulsory, but if you decline, we won't be able to detect gestational diabetes early, which can affect both you and your baby.
Ek verstaan. Ek sal dit dan liewer laat doen. Waar en wanneer moet ek gaan?
You can come to Liverpool Hospital's antenatal clinic this Thursday at nine o'clock. Bring your pregnancy record book and don't eat or drink anything except water beforehand.
Goed, dan sal ek Donderdag daar wees. Hoe lank duur dit voordat ek die uitslae kry?
Results usually take about three days. If your levels are high, we'll call you to arrange a follow-up appointment with the obstetrician.
Dankie vir die verduideliking. Ek voel nou baie meer op my gemak oor die toets.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The free daily dialogue on this site plays each segment at native speed, records you, and marks the information you transferred against the same categories examiners use — omissions, distortions, insertions — so you know where the marks went.
