guess what I'm up the Duff I've got a bun in the oven I'm expecting we're
having a baby yep these are all ways that you might
say I'm pregnant and everyone Anna English here and today
we're learning pregnancy vocabulary. During my time of pregnancy I realised
that there are lots and lots of words that are very specific to pregnant
people and before we discover all that exciting pregnancy vocabulary I just
want to say a huge thank you to today's sponsors Cambly. Now Cambly have a
very exciting new product which is aimed specifically at young people, as in
children, and if you want to hear more about that, if you have young people in
your life that you want to help to learn English, then stay tuned till the very
end when I'm going to tell you a bit more about that. So let's get started.
So the first thing you do if you think that you are up the duff, if you think
you're expecting, if you think that you are with child, mmm or that you have a
bun in the oven, then you will take a pregnancy test. Once you've taken the
test and it comes back as positive hurrah
you're pregnant, hopefully you're very happy about that, the next thing you'll
do is go to the doctors to find out exactly when your baby is due to arrive.
Now the word due is used a lot when talking about baby's expected arrival. So
the day when you are expected to give birth to that child is your due date. So
throughout your pregnancy the medical professionals will ask when is your due
date or when are you due, and as a interested friend or family member you
might say "oh you're pregnant how wonderful congratulations. When is the
baby due or when are you due?" meaning when are you due to give birth and now
that you're pregnant you might refer to yourself as a
mum-to-be. I'm a mum to be or if you are the partner of someone who's pregnant you
might refer to yourself as a dad-to-be or as a couple you could be parents-to-be
To be or not to be? That is the question. Now your pregnancy will last
for approximately nine months this is called the term so if your baby gets all
the way to nine months, 40 weeks approximately then you are at full term
and your baby will hopefully be born full-term. If your baby is born earlier
than 37 weeks of pregnancy then your baby is preterm and then we refer to
that baby as premature. These nine months are separated into three sections. We
have one to three months is the first trimester. The first trimester. The time
when you are the most unwell probably. Then we have the time when your bump,
your belly really expands and this is the second trimester month four to
month six, the second trimester. Then you have the very uncomfortable final
trimester which is referred to as the third trimester which is month seven up
to month nine. The third trimester. Throughout your pregnancy you are going
to suffer with a number of pregnancy symptoms for example fatigue heartburn
cramps sleepless nights those types of things but there are a couple of
symptoms that are very specific to pregnancy
they are morning sickness and this is the nausea that you experience
specifically in pregnancy. Morning sickness, and stretch marks. Now stretch
marks are the scars and marks that you get on your skin when your skin is
expanding with pregnancy. Stretch marks can also be associated with rapid growth
or weight gain and as you're gaining weight you are going to need to buy some
special clothes. Now these clothes are referred to as
maternity wear, maternity wear. And you can describe individual items like
maternity jeans and maternity bras maternity leggings, maternity dress. Let's
now look at some very common medical terms that you will hear throughout your
pregnancy. First off we have placenta, plancenta. The placenta is a very
important interface between baby and mother it's where they attach to each
other. It's how the mother passes things like oxygen and food and all the stuff
the baby needs from her through to the baby and the placenta is attached to
the baby via the umbilical cord. Umbilical, umbilical cord. Now the baby is
technically referred to as a foetus a foetus which has a different spelling
between British and American this is the British spelling a bit weird and the
very sensible American spelling. The baby lives very comfortably inside the
woman's womb, womb, no b on the end. It's a silent letter the womb or the uterus
the uterus and inside the womb they are surrounded by amniotic fluid, amniotic
fluid, which keeps them safe, protected from infections and protected from
getting bumps and bashes when mum bangs her tummy into things because she's
clumsy. Now the opening to the womb which allows the baby to come out eventually
is called the cervix, the cervix. And on a very sad note if the pregnancy doesn't
continue, if something goes wrong and the baby doesn't survive the pregnancy it's
called a miscarriage, a miscarriage. Now throughout the pregnancy you will check
on your little one to make sure everything is progressing well via a
scan you will have a scan. You can have a 2d
scan or a 4d scan which is what we had and it was amazing to see our little
baby's face all squishy and gorgeous. And a couple of other events that you might
mark throughout your pregnancy are a baby shower, which is a party to
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
it, and you may also go on a babymoon which is a holiday that you have with
your partner to enjoy the time that you have left before the baby comes and
turns your world upside down. I had a babymoon in Italy, again I will
link that video down in the description box below if you're interested in seeing
what I got up to on my babymoon. Throughout your pregnancy you'll be
looked after by your doctor and by a midwife a midwife is a medical
professional who specialises in looking after pregnant women and going through
labor and childbirth with them. As well some women also decide to have a doula. A
doula is like a birthing coach, someone who helps you through labor and through
childbirth now at the end of your pregnancy you will be rewarded with a
beautiful baby a gorgeous little bundle of joy just like little baby English
here. Isn't it cute? Of course I'm going to say that I'm his mother I love him
absolutely adore him. As a new parent it's very important to me that I can
provide my child with the best opportunities in life especially when it
comes to education and that's why I was very pleased to hear that Cambly have
created a new course especially for children to learn English. Now this
course has been designed by the children experts and is based on the u.s.
curriculum. Now the course lasts for 12 months but there are three options that
you can take, you can either have two lessons a
week, five lessons a week or seven lessons a week. Each lesson is 30 minutes
long so your child won't get bored and they are online so it's convenient. And
your child can learn from the safety and comfort of home and the lessons are also
recorded so you can revisit them over and over again without having to pay any
extra and surprisingly these lessons are the cheapest on the market but for some
added reassurance you also will get a 14 day money back guarantee so if you're
interested in your child learning English then why not check out Cambly 's
course for kids by clicking on that link in the description box just below.
