00:07
having a baby yep these are all ways that you might
1
7350
3840
00:11
say I'm pregnant and everyone Anna English here and today
2
11190
5310
00:16
we're learning pregnancy vocabulary. During my time of pregnancy I realised
3
16500
6480
00:22
that there are lots and lots of words that are very specific to pregnant
4
22980
4619
00:27
people and before we discover all that exciting pregnancy vocabulary I just
5
27599
5221
00:32
want to say a huge thank you to today's sponsors Cambly. Now Cambly have a
6
32820
5399
00:38
very exciting new product which is aimed specifically at young people, as in
7
38219
5881
00:44
children, and if you want to hear more about that, if you have young people in
8
44100
4770
00:48
your life that you want to help to learn English, then stay tuned till the very
9
48870
4320
00:53
end when I'm going to tell you a bit more about that. So let's get started.
10
53190
4950
00:58
So the first thing you do if you think that you are up the duff, if you think
11
58140
3780
01:01
you're expecting, if you think that you are with child, mmm or that you have a
12
61920
5100
01:07
bun in the oven, then you will take a pregnancy test. Once you've taken the
13
67020
6270
01:13
test and it comes back as positive hurrah
14
73290
3300
01:16
you're pregnant, hopefully you're very happy about that, the next thing you'll
15
76590
5190
01:21
do is go to the doctors to find out exactly when your baby is due to arrive.
16
81780
6659
01:28
Now the word due is used a lot when talking about baby's expected arrival. So
17
88439
9601
01:38
the day when you are expected to give birth to that child is your due date. So
18
98040
6530
01:44
throughout your pregnancy the medical professionals will ask when is your due
19
104570
4180
01:48
date or when are you due, and as a interested friend or family member you
20
108750
8070
01:56
might say "oh you're pregnant how wonderful congratulations. When is the
21
116820
4649
02:01
baby due or when are you due?" meaning when are you due to give birth and now
22
121469
7260
02:08
that you're pregnant you might refer to yourself as a
23
128729
3441
02:12
mum-to-be. I'm a mum to be or if you are the partner of someone who's pregnant you
24
132170
5640
02:17
might refer to yourself as a dad-to-be or as a couple you could be parents-to-be
25
137810
5490
02:23
To be or not to be? That is the question. Now your pregnancy will last
26
143300
7409
02:30
for approximately nine months this is called the term so if your baby gets all
27
150709
6391
02:37
the way to nine months, 40 weeks approximately then you are at full term
28
157100
5700
02:42
and your baby will hopefully be born full-term. If your baby is born earlier
29
162800
5880
02:48
than 37 weeks of pregnancy then your baby is preterm and then we refer to
30
168680
5670
02:54
that baby as premature. These nine months are separated into three sections. We
31
174350
6449
03:00
have one to three months is the first trimester. The first trimester. The time
32
180799
7321
03:08
when you are the most unwell probably. Then we have the time when your bump,
33
188120
5520
03:13
your belly really expands and this is the second trimester month four to
34
193640
5760
03:19
month six, the second trimester. Then you have the very uncomfortable final
35
199400
5970
03:25
trimester which is referred to as the third trimester which is month seven up
36
205370
5820
03:31
to month nine. The third trimester. Throughout your pregnancy you are going
37
211190
5340
03:36
to suffer with a number of pregnancy symptoms for example fatigue heartburn
38
216530
5360
03:41
cramps sleepless nights those types of things but there are a couple of
39
221890
4840
03:46
symptoms that are very specific to pregnancy
40
226730
3360
03:50
they are morning sickness and this is the nausea that you experience
41
230090
5880
03:55
specifically in pregnancy. Morning sickness, and stretch marks. Now stretch
42
235970
7410
04:03
marks are the scars and marks that you get on your skin when your skin is
43
243380
4550
04:07
expanding with pregnancy. Stretch marks can also be associated with rapid growth
44
247930
5740
04:13
or weight gain and as you're gaining weight you are going to need to buy some
45
253670
5879
04:19
special clothes. Now these clothes are referred to as
46
259549
4231
04:23
maternity wear, maternity wear. And you can describe individual items like
47
263780
6670
04:30
maternity jeans and maternity bras maternity leggings, maternity dress. Let's
48
270450
7980
04:38
now look at some very common medical terms that you will hear throughout your
49
278430
4560
04:42
pregnancy. First off we have placenta, plancenta. The placenta is a very
50
282990
7380
04:50
important interface between baby and mother it's where they attach to each
51
290370
5460
04:55
other. It's how the mother passes things like oxygen and food and all the stuff
52
295830
5190
05:01
the baby needs from her through to the baby and the placenta is attached to
53
301020
6000
05:07
the baby via the umbilical cord. Umbilical, umbilical cord. Now the baby is
54
307020
7190
05:14
technically referred to as a foetus a foetus which has a different spelling
55
314210
5740
05:19
between British and American this is the British spelling a bit weird and the
56
319950
5670
05:25
very sensible American spelling. The baby lives very comfortably inside the
57
325620
5940
05:31
woman's womb, womb, no b on the end. It's a silent letter the womb or the uterus
58
331560
9710
05:41
the uterus and inside the womb they are surrounded by amniotic fluid, amniotic
59
341270
8130
05:49
fluid, which keeps them safe, protected from infections and protected from
60
349400
6280
05:55
getting bumps and bashes when mum bangs her tummy into things because she's
61
355680
5070
06:00
clumsy. Now the opening to the womb which allows the baby to come out eventually
62
360750
5760
06:06
is called the cervix, the cervix. And on a very sad note if the pregnancy doesn't
63
366510
6990
06:13
continue, if something goes wrong and the baby doesn't survive the pregnancy it's
64
373500
5130
06:18
called a miscarriage, a miscarriage. Now throughout the pregnancy you will check
65
378630
5820
06:24
on your little one to make sure everything is progressing well via a
66
384450
4410
06:28
scan you will have a scan. You can have a 2d
67
388860
3620
06:32
scan or a 4d scan which is what we had and it was amazing to see our little
68
392480
6330
06:38
baby's face all squishy and gorgeous. And a couple of other events that you might
69
398810
6390
06:45
mark throughout your pregnancy are a baby shower, which is a party to
70
405200
5100
06:50
celebrate a woman moving into motherhood, I did do a video about baby showers I'll

put it in the description box below and up here as well if you want to look at
72
416990
3330
07:00
it, and you may also go on a babymoon which is a holiday that you have with
73
420320
6510
07:06
your partner to enjoy the time that you have left before the baby comes and
74
426830
5520
07:12
turns your world upside down. I had a babymoon in Italy, again I will

437660
3540
07:21
what I got up to on my babymoon. Throughout your pregnancy you'll be
77
441200
4680
07:25
looked after by your doctor and by a midwife a midwife is a medical
78
445880
5010
07:30
professional who specialises in looking after pregnant women and going through
79
450890
5010
07:35
labor and childbirth with them. As well some women also decide to have a doula. A
80
455900
6540
07:42
doula is like a birthing coach, someone who helps you through labor and through
81
462440
5700
07:48
childbirth now at the end of your pregnancy you will be rewarded with a
82
468140
4170
07:52
beautiful baby a gorgeous little bundle of joy just like little baby English
