Real Conversation: Pregnancy (Part 3) 🤰

Let's practice English conversation.

When are you due? 

I'm asking what day the  baby is expected to be born. 

The 6th of June.

Fabulous. A summer baby.

What a great time to give birth. To give birth means to deliver the baby. 

In other words, to bring  the baby out into the world. 

I'm feeling a bit nervous to be honest. Last time, I was in labor for 2 days. 

Oh, my God. I can't imagine having contractions for two days. 

Contractions describes the movement of  muscles around a woman's womb that tighten  

up and help push the baby out.

You must have been exhausted. 

I was. And in the end,  

they had to deliver the baby by C-section.

Wow, I hope it goes better for you this time. 

Would you prefer a natural birth or a C-section?

I'll take whatever's the quickest and the  

least painful.

I hear you.
