Full transcript
Good morning, how have you been feeling this week? Any nausea, swelling, headaches, or unusual pain since your last visit two weeks ago?
早上好，医生。这周感觉还可以，就是有点腰酸，晚上偶尔会有点水肿，不过没有头痛，也没有恶心的感觉。
Today we'll check your blood pressure, weight, and the baby's heartbeat, and at twenty-six weeks we'll also do a glucose tolerance test.
医生，那个糖耐量测试具体是要做什么？是不是需要空腹去检查？
You'll need to fast for eight hours beforehand, then drink a sugary liquid and have blood taken twice over two hours. It's routine and nothing to worry about.
好的，那我提前安排一下时间。对了，我最近感觉宝宝动得没有以前那么频繁，这正常吗？
That's completely normal at this stage of pregnancy. If movements ever slow down quite noticeably, please call Westmead Hospital's maternity line straight away.
谢谢您，那我就放心了。那我下次产检大概是什么时候？需要提前预约吗？
Your next appointment is in four weeks, and yes, you'll definitely need to book in advance since walk-ins aren't accepted here.
明白了，我会记得提前预约的。那如果糖耐量测试结果不太理想，是不是就完全不能吃甜食了？
You don't need to avoid all sugar, but try to limit sweets and juice, and keep eating balanced, healthy meals regularly.
哦，那就好，我还担心以后完全不能吃甜的，现在知道适量就行，谢谢。
