Full transcript
Thanks for coming in, Ms. Dubois. How many weeks pregnant are you now, and have you had any swelling or headaches lately?
Je suis enceinte de vingt-quatre semaines. Je n'ai pas de maux de tête, mais mes chevilles sont assez enflées le soir.
That's normal at this stage, but we'll keep monitoring it. You're due for a glucose tolerance test between twenty-four and twenty-eight weeks at John Hunter Hospital.
D'accord. Est-ce que je dois être à jeun avant ce test, ou puis-je manger normalement le matin ?
Yes, you'll need to fast for eight hours beforehand—only water is allowed, no food or sugary drinks until the test is finished.
Très bien, je comprends. Est-ce qu'il y a des aliments que je devrais éviter jusqu'à l'accouchement ?
Try to limit sugary snacks and take your folate supplement daily. If you'd like more guidance, I can refer you to a dietitian.
Merci, ça m'aiderait beaucoup. Aussi, on m'a dit qu'il y aurait une échographie à trente-deux semaines, c'est bien ça ?
That's correct—it's booked to check the baby's growth and position. If you notice any bleeding before then, don't wait, go straight to emergency.
D'accord, je m'en souviendrai. Autre chose, quelles sont mes options pour la gestion de la douleur pendant l'accouchement ?
There are several choices, including an epidural or nitrous oxide. We can discuss what suits you best with the obstetrician at your next visit.
Merci beaucoup, ça me rassure. Je viendrai à mon prochain rendez-vous avec mes questions.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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. Your first full dialogue is marked free.
