Full transcript
You're now twenty-six weeks pregnant, so let's schedule your glucose tolerance test at Nepean Hospital for next Thursday morning.
Está bem, doutora. Esse é aquele teste para diabetes gestacional, não é? Preciso fazer algo diferente antes de ir?
Yes, exactly. You'll need to fast for eight to twelve hours beforehand—please don't eat or drink anything except water after nine the night before your appointment.
Entendi. E posso tomar um café antes de sair de casa? Costumo ter muita dor de cabeça quando fico sem cafeína.
No coffee, I'm afraid—only water is allowed during the fasting period. Please arrive by seven thirty, and bring something light to eat straight after the blood draw.
Tudo bem, vou me organizar assim. Posso levar um lanche para comer logo depois que terminarem de tirar o sangue?
Yes, that's a good sign. Your blood pressure reading today is normal, and the baby's heartbeat sounds strong at one hundred and forty beats per minute.
Que bom ouvir isso. Notei que meus tornozelos têm inchado bastante à noite, principalmente depois de ficar muito tempo em pé.
Mild swelling like that is common in pregnancy, but if you ever get sudden headaches or blurred vision, come in immediately—those could signal something more serious.
Vou ficar atenta a isso. Quando será minha próxima consulta depois do teste de glicose na quinta-feira?
We'll see you again in two weeks to review your glucose results and check your blood pressure one more time.
Perfeito, muito obrigada pela explicação. Vou marcar tudo na agenda e já apareço em jejum na quinta-feira.

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.
