Full transcript
Let's go through your thirty-week antenatal check today, Frau Baumann. How have you been feeling since your last appointment two weeks ago?
Ich bin ziemlich müde und habe seit ein paar Tagen Rückenschmerzen. Nachts schlafe ich auch schlecht, weil das Baby ständig tritt.
Have you noticed how often the baby moves each day? Can you also tell me if you've had any headaches, dizziness, or blurred vision recently?
Das Baby bewegt sich normal, meistens abends. Kopfschmerzen oder Schwindel habe ich keine, aber meine Füße sind seit gestern etwas geschwollen.
Mild swelling in the feet is fairly common at this stage, but let me check your blood pressure and reflexes to be sure everything's fine.
Das beruhigt mich sehr. Übrigens, meine Schwester hat gesagt, ich sollte mich gegen Keuchhusten impfen lassen. Ist das bei mir schon möglich?
Yes, pertussis vaccination is recommended between twenty and thirty-two weeks of pregnancy, so right now is actually a good time to arrange it.
Ich bin jetzt in der dreißigsten Schwangerschaftswoche. Ich hatte schon Angst, dass ich den richtigen Zeitpunkt verpasst habe.
Not at all — you still have two weeks left in that window, and Nepean Hospital's clinic can give it today if you're free.
Das wäre wunderbar. Kann ich die Impfung vielleicht heute noch bekommen?
Yes, as long as you haven't already had it this pregnancy, the nurse can vaccinate you this afternoon at three o'clock.
Das ist perfekt, vielen Dank. Dann warte ich hier und komme um drei Uhr zur Impfung.
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.
