Full transcript
Good afternoon, Ms. Fernández. Let's check your blood pressure first, then talk about how you've been feeling since your last visit to Liverpool Hospital.
Buenas tardes, matrona. Me he sentido un poco cansada estos días y noto los pies algo hinchados, pero no tengo dolor ni ningún otro síntoma.
At twenty-eight weeks, we usually schedule a glucose tolerance test to check for gestational diabetes. Yours is booked for this Thursday morning at the pathology clinic.
Entiendo. ¿Tengo que estar en ayunas para esa prueba, matrona? ¿Puedo tomar agua antes de ir al laboratorio el jueves?
You mustn't eat or drink anything except water for ten hours before the test, so please don't have breakfast that morning.
De acuerdo, así lo haré. Después de la prueba del jueves, ¿cuándo sería mi próxima cita con usted?
Thursday's visit is only for the blood test, not a full check-up. If your glucose results are normal, we won't need to see you again until thirty-two weeks.
Muy bien. Mientras tanto, ¿hay alguna señal de advertencia que deba vigilar antes de llegar a esa cita de las treinta y dos semanas?
If you notice reduced movements, severe headaches, or swelling that worsens quickly, call the clinic straight away — don't wait until your next appointment.
Gracias, matrona. Entonces, ¿podremos hablar sobre el plan de parto en esa misma cita de las treinta y dos semanas?
We'll discuss your full birth plan at the thirty-two week appointment, not this Thursday, since that visit is only for the glucose test.
Muchas gracias por explicármelo tan bien, matrona. Ahora entiendo la diferencia entre la cita del jueves y la próxima consulta completa.
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.
