SEGMENT 1 · ENGLISH · 30 WORDS
Midwife

Hello, congratulations on your pregnancy. At 28 weeks we normally do a glucose tolerance test to check for gestational diabetes. Do you have any questions before we book it?

SEGMENT 2 · PUNJABI · 20 WORDS
Client

ਹੈਲੋ ਜੀ, ਧੰਨਵਾਦ। ਮੈਨੂੰ ਇੱਕ ਸਵਾਲ ਹੈ - ਕੀ ਇਹ ਟੈਸਟ ਖਾਲੀ ਪੇਟ ਕਰਵਾਉਣਾ ਪਵੇਗਾ? ਮੈਨੂੰ ਖਾਲੀ ਪੇਟ ਰਹਿਣ ਨਾਲ ਚੱਕਰ ਆਉਂਦੇ ਹਨ।

SEGMENT 3 · ENGLISH · 25 WORDS
Midwife

You'll need to fast for 8 hours before the blood test, so no food or sweet drinks after midnight the night before your appointment.

SEGMENT 4 · PUNJABI · 21 WORDS
Client

ਇਹ ਤਾਂ ਮੁਸ਼ਕਲ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ ਜੀ। ਗਰਭ ਅਵਸਥਾ ਵਿੱਚ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਸਵੇਰੇ ਬਹੁਤ ਮਤਲੀ ਆਉਂਦੀ ਹੈ, ਇਸ ਲਈ ਲੰਬਾ ਸਮਾਂ ਭੁੱਖੀ ਰਹਿਣਾ ਔਖਾ ਹੈ।

SEGMENT 5 · ENGLISH · 22 WORDS
Midwife

That's understandable. If fasting makes you feel unwell, please bring some water and let the nurse know immediately when you arrive.

SEGMENT 6 · PUNJABI · 13 WORDS
Client

ਠੀਕ ਹੈ ਜੀ, ਮੈਂ ਪਾਣੀ ਨਾਲ ਲੈ ਆਵਾਂਗੀ। ਅਗਲੀ ਅਪਾਇੰਟਮੈਂਟ ਕਦੋਂ ਹੋਵੇਗੀ?

SEGMENT 7 · ENGLISH · 21 WORDS
Midwife

Great, I'll book your test for next Tuesday morning at Westmead Hospital. Please arrive fifteen minutes early to complete the paperwork.

SEGMENT 8 · PUNJABI · 17 WORDS
Client

ਠੀਕ ਹੈ, ਮੈਂ ਮੰਗਲਵਾਰ ਸਵੇਰੇ ਵੈਸਟਮੀਡ ਹਸਪਤਾਲ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਜਾਵਾਂਗੀ। ਕੀ ਖਾਣ-ਪੀਣ ਬਾਰੇ ਕੋਈ ਖਾਸ ਸਲਾਹ ਹੈ?

SEGMENT 9 · ENGLISH · 24 WORDS
Midwife

In the meantime, try to eat smaller meals throughout the day and reduce sugary snacks, as this can help manage your blood sugar levels.

SEGMENT 10 · PUNJABI · 15 WORDS
Client

ਸ਼ੁਕਰੀਆ ਜੀ। ਕੀ ਇਸ ਸਮੇਂ ਕਸਰਤ ਕਰਨੀ ਠੀਕ ਰਹੇਗੀ, ਜਾਂ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਆਰਾਮ ਕਰਨਾ ਚਾਹੀਦਾ ਹੈ?

SEGMENT 11 · ENGLISH · 23 WORDS
Midwife

Light walking for about thirty minutes a day is safe, but if you ever feel dizzy or short of breath, stop and rest immediately.

SEGMENT 12 · PUNJABI · 18 WORDS
Client

ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਜੀ, ਇਹ ਜਾਣਕਾਰੀ ਬਹੁਤ ਮਦਦਗਾਰ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ ਧਿਆਨ ਰੱਖਾਂਗੀ ਅਤੇ ਜੇ ਕੋਈ ਦਿੱਕਤ ਹੋਈ ਤਾਂ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਦੱਸਾਂਗੀ।
