Real Conversation: Pregnancy (Part 2) 🤰

Let's practice English conversation. 

And what about you? How are you doing? 

It's not being a walk in the park, Rachel.

Oh dear, what's the matter? 

I had terrible morning  sickness when I was pregnant. 

Morning sickness refers to nausea when you're  stomach hurts and you feel like you might vomit. 

I had that in the first trimester.  I threw up in public a few times. 

But these days I have a lot of fatigue.

Oh, poor thing. I hope you  

have time to put your feet up. To put your feet up means to sit down and relax. 

Yeah I've got no choice with these swollen ankles.

Oh, I remember that. And what about heartburn? 

Heartburn is a pain when acid from the  stomach comes up into the esophagus. 

Yeah, I don't know why they call it  that because it doesn't hurt my heart. 

A better name would be chest  burn or throat-on-fire.
