Full transcript
Let's check how bub's growing today, Manpreet — you're now 26 weeks along in your pregnancy, is that right?
ਹਾਂ ਜੀ, ਸਭ ਠੀਕ ਹੈ, ਪਰ ਪਿਛਲੇ ਹਫ਼ਤੇ ਤੋਂ ਮੇਰੇ ਪੈਰਾਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਥੋੜ੍ਹੀ ਸੋਜ ਆ ਰਹੀ ਹੈ ਅਤੇ ਥਕਾਵਟ ਵੀ ਮਹਿਸੂਸ ਹੁੰਦੀ ਹੈ।
Swelling like that is common, but let's keep an eye on it. I'd like to order a glucose tolerance test today as well.
ਇਹ ਟੈਸਟ ਕੀ ਹੁੰਦਾ ਹੈ ਜੀ? ਕੀ ਇਸ ਨਾਲ ਬੱਚੇ ਨੂੰ ਕੋਈ ਖ਼ਤਰਾ ਤਾਂ ਨਹੀਂ ਹੈ?
This is an oral glucose tolerance test — it checks your blood sugar for gestational diabetes. It's completely safe; there's no risk to the baby at all.
ਓਹ, ਇਹ ਸੁਣ ਕੇ ਮਨ ਹਲਕਾ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ। ਕੀ ਇਸ ਟੈਸਟ ਲਈ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਖਾਲੀ ਪੇਟ ਆਉਣਾ ਪਵੇਗਾ, ਅਤੇ ਇਹ ਕਿੱਥੇ ਕਰਵਾਉਣਾ ਪਵੇਗਾ?
Yes, please fast for at least eight hours beforehand — water is fine. Go to the pathology collection centre at Wollongong Hospital before nine tomorrow morning.
ਠੀਕ ਹੈ ਜੀ, ਸਮਝ ਗਈ। ਕੀ ਟੈਸਟ ਤੋਂ ਇੱਕ ਦਿਨ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਖਾਣ-ਪੀਣ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੋਈ ਖ਼ਾਸ ਧਿਆਨ ਰੱਖਣਾ ਪਵੇਗਾ?
Eat normally the day before your appointment — you don't need to cut anything out completely. Just avoid sugary drinks and lollies close to bedtime.
ਸਮਝ ਗਈ ਜੀ। ਅਗਲੀ ਵਾਰ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਖਾਲੀ ਪੇਟ ਆਉਣਾ ਪਵੇਗਾ, ਜਾਂ ਇਹ ਸਿਰਫ਼ ਆਮ ਚੈੱਕਅਪ ਹੋਵੇਗਾ?
Next visit is just a routine checkup, so no fasting is needed. Come at ten thirty on Thursday the fourth of June.
ਬਹੁਤ ਧੰਨਵਾਦ ਜੀ, ਹੁਣ ਸਭ ਕੁਝ ਸਾਫ਼ ਹੋ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ। ਮੈਂ ਸਮੇਂ ਸਿਰ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਜਾਵਾਂਗੀ।
