Full transcript
Thanks for coming in today, Amina. Let's check how bub is doing at twenty-eight weeks. Have you noticed any swelling or headaches this week?
Maya, ma jirin barar, laakiin dhabarkayga ayaa mararka qaarkood i xanuunaya, gaar ahaan habeenkii.
That's common at this stage. I'll check your blood pressure now, then we'll book your next scan at John Hunter Hospital for two weeks' time.
Waan ku faraxsanahay. Weliba, dhaqdhaqaaqa ilmuhu maalinkii ma yahay wax caadi ah, mise waa inaan la xiriiro dhakhtarka?
If you count fewer than ten movements within two hours, please call the maternity ward immediately, even if it's late at night.
Waan fahmay, mahadsanid. Sidoo kale, dhakhtarkii hore wuxuu iga codsaday inaan qaato kiniinada birta, ma sii waddaa inaan qaato?
Yes, continue the iron tablets daily unless they cause nausea, in which case switch to every second day instead.
Waa fiican. Haddana, ma waxaan cuni karaa hilib aan si buuxda loo kariin, mise waa inaan ka fogaado?
Please avoid undercooked meat, soft cheeses and raw seafood during pregnancy, as these can increase the risk of listeria infection for your baby.
Waad ku mahadsantahay talooyinkaas oo dhan. Goorma ayaan mar kale imaan doonaa, balse ballanka xiga?
Your next appointment is in two weeks on Thursday the fourteenth of May, for a glucose tolerance test; if you can't attend, please reschedule beforehand at reception.
Waad ku mahadsantahay macluumaadka. Waan la soo xiriiri doonaa dabaqadda haddii aanan geli karin ballanka la qorsheeyay.
Practise it
Reading a transcript is not interpreting. The practice room 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.
