Full transcript
Let's check how bub's doing today — you're now thirty-two weeks along. Any headaches, swelling, or reduced movements since your last visit?
ನಮಸ್ಕಾರ್ ಮೇಡಂ, ತಲೆನೋವು ಏನೂ ಇಲ್ಲ, ಆದರೆ ಕಾಲುಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಸ್ವಲ್ಪ ಊತ ಇದೆ. ಮಗು ಚೆನ್ನಾಗಿ ಚಲಿಸ್ತಿದೆ, ಚಿಂತೆ ಏನಿಲ್ಲ ಅನ್ಸುತ್ತೆ.
That's good to hear. I'll measure your blood pressure and check your urine sample now. Have you been taking the iron tablets we discussed?
ಕೆಲವೊಮ್ಮೆ ಮರೀತೀನಿ ಮೇಡಂ, ಯಾಕಂದ್ರೆ ವಾಂತಿ ಬರತ್ತೆ. ಒಂದೆರಡು ದಿನ ತಪ್ಪಿಸಿದ್ರೆ ತೊಂದ್ರೆ ಆಗುತ್ತಾ?
Please continue the tablets, but don't skip more than one day — it's important for your iron levels. I've also booked your glucose tolerance test at Sunshine Coast University Hospital.
ಸರಿ ಮೇಡಂ, ಆ ಗ್ಲೂಕೋಸ್ ಪರೀಕ್ಷೆ ಯಾವಾಗ, ಎಷ್ಟು ಹೊತ್ತಿಗೆ ಬರಬೇಕು ಅಂತ ಹೇಳ್ತೀರಾ?
The test is at seven thirty in the morning. You'll need to fast for eight hours beforehand — no food, and no sugary drinks, only water.
ಸರಿ, ಎಂಟು ಗಂಟೆ ಉಪವಾಸ ಮಾಡ್ತೀನಿ. ನನ್ನ ಗಂಡ ಜೊತೆಗೆ ಬರಬಹುದಾ?
Your partner is welcome to come along. Your next appointment is in three weeks, and I'll refer you to a physiotherapist if the swelling continues.
ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು ಮೇಡಂ. ಹೆರಿಗೆ ಸಮಯದಲ್ಲಿ ನೋವು ಕಡಿಮೆ ಮಾಡೋಕೆ ಏನೆಲ್ಲ ಆಯ್ಕೆಗಳಿವೆ ಅಂತ ತಿಳ್ಕೊಬೇಕಿತ್ತು.
We'll discuss pain relief options, including epidurals, at your birth plan session next visit. Try not to worry — we'll go through everything together then.
ಸರಿ ಮೇಡಂ, ಮೂರು ವಾರ ನಂತ್ರ ಬತೀನಿ. ಎಪಿಡ್ಯೂರಲ್ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಆವಾಗ ಮಾತಾಡೋಣ. ತುಂಬಾ ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು.
