Upper-Intermediate - Super Babies and Ultrasounds (D1143)

A赵医生早。
Zhào yīshēng zǎo.
Good morning, Dr. Zhao.
B早,于小芬,你今天要做好多检查。除了常规的,还要做个彩超检查胎儿是否畸形。
zǎo, Yú Xiǎofēn, nǐ jīntiān yào zuò hǎo duō jiǎnchá. chúle chángguī de, hái yào zuò ge cǎichāo jiǎnchá tāiér shìfǒu jīxíng.
Good morning, Yu Xiaofen. You have a lot of tests to do today. In addition to the routine stuff, we also have to do a color ultrasound to check if the fetus is abnormal.
A真有点儿担心,万一......
zhēn yǒudiǎnr dānxīn, wànyī......
I'm a little bit uneasy about that...what if---
B你别瞎想。现在大家孕期都很注意,出现畸形儿的概率很小的。
nǐ bié xiā xiǎng. xiànzài dàjiā yùnqī dōu hěn zhùyì, chūxiàn jīxíngér de gàilǜ hěn xiǎo de.
Don't be unduly concerned. These days, everyone pays a lot of attention during the pregnancy. The probability of an abnormal baby is very low.
A赵医生,你说我要不要做个羊水穿刺啊?
Zhào yīshēng, nǐ shuō wǒ yào bu yào zuò ge yángshuǐchuāncì a?
Dr. Zhao, do you think I need to do amniocentesis?
B家里没有唐氏症史的话,我建议你不要做,没什么必要。而且并不是每个孕妇的胎盘都适合做的。如果不适合硬要做的话,可能有流产的危险。
jiālǐ méiyǒu tángshìzhèng shǐ dehuà, wǒ jiànyì nǐ bùyào zuò, méi shénme bìyào. érqiě bìng bù shì měige yùnfù de tāipán dōu shìhé zuò de. rúguǒ bù shìhé yìng yào zuò dehuà, kěnéng yǒu liúchǎn de wēixiǎn.
If there's no history of Down's syndrome in your family, I'd suggest that you not do it. There's no need. And not every pregnant woman's placenta is suitable. If you're not suitable, but you insist on doing it, there's some risk of a miscarriage.
A啊?那我绝对不做。
ǎ? nà wǒ juéduì bù zuò.
Huh? Well, then, I absolutely won't do it.
B来,我们先做一些常规检查吧。我看你最近胖了点儿,脸色也比以前好多了。
lái, wǒmen xiān zuò yīxiē chángguī jiǎnchá ba. wǒ kàn nǐ zuìjìn pàng le diǎnr, liǎnsè yě bǐ yǐqián hǎo duō le.
Come here, let's do the routine examination first. I can see that you've gained a little weight recently, and your complexion is much better.
A是啊,现在身体已经慢慢适应做妈妈了。宝宝也知道妈妈辛苦,很体谅我呢!
shì a, xiànzài shēntǐ yǐjīng mànmàn shìyìng zuò māma le. bǎobao yě zhīdào māma xīnkǔ, hěn tǐliàng wǒ ne!
Yeah, my body is already slowly getting used to being a mommy. My baby also knows that Momma is working hard, and he's really making allowances for me!
C于小芬,到你做彩超了。进来吧。
Yú Xiǎofēn, dào nǐ zuò cǎichāo le. jìnlái ba.
Yu Xiaofen, it's time for your color ultrasound. Please, come in.
A噢。
ò.
Oh.
C来,躺下。我们看看宝宝发育得怎么样了。嗯,看不清。
lái, tǎngxià. wǒmen kàn kan bǎobao fāyù de zěnmeyàng le. ng, kànbuqīng.
Come on, lie down. Let's see how the baby's developing. Oh, I can't see clearly.
A医生,怎么了?宝宝没事吧?
yīshēng, zěnmele? bǎobao méishì ba?
Doctor, what is it? The baby's OK, right?
C别怕,别怕,没事的。是胎位的问题,宝宝的腿被挡住了。喏,你自己看显示器。
bié pà, bié pà, méishì de. shì tāiwèi de wèntí, bǎobao de tuǐ bèi dǎngzhù le. nuò, nǐ zìjǐ kàn xiǎnshìqì.
Don't worry, there's nothing wrong. This is a problem with the baby's position in the womb. Its leg is stuck. Here, look at the display screen and see for yourself.
A那怎么才能看到宝宝啊?
nà zěnme cáinéng kàndào bǎobao a?
How can we get to see the baby?
C你现在起来活动活动,让宝宝移个位置。这样,我就能看到他四肢的发育情况了。
nǐ xiànzài qǐlái huódòng huódòng, ràng bǎobao yí ge wèizhi. zhèyàng, wǒ jiù néng kàndào tā sìzhī de fāyù qíngkuàng le.
Get up and start moving, and make the baby change position. That way, I'll be able to see how its appendages are developing.
A噢。我要怎么动啊?
ò. wǒ yào zěnme dòng a?
Oh! How should I move around, then?
C你晃几下肚子,再扭扭腰。
nǐ huàng jǐ xià dùzi, zài niǔ niu yāo.
Shake your belly a bit, and then twist your waist.
A这样的幅度可以吗?会不会影响到宝宝?
zhèyàng de fúdù kěyǐ ma? huì bu huì yǐngxiǎng dào bǎobao?
Is this range OK?
C可以,就这样。哎,好,再走几步路。好了,过来躺下吧。
kěyǐ, jiù zhèyàng. āi, hǎo, zài zǒu jǐ bù lù. hǎo le, guòlái tǎngxià ba.
Sure, that's fine. Walk a few steps. OK, go over and lie down.
A现在看得见吗?
xiànzài kàndejiàn ma?
Can you see it now?
C嗯,好点儿了。不过你还得再起来活动一下。
ng4, hǎo diǎnr le. bùguò nǐ hái děi zài qǐlái huódòng yīxià.
Hmm, it's a bit better. But you still have to get up and move around a bit.
A噢。
ò.
Oh.
C好,现在看得很清楚。宝宝四肢很健全,你自己看。这边是头,这边是身体,手在这儿,脚在那儿。
hǎo, xiànzài kàn de hěn qīngchu. bǎobao sìzhī hěn jiànquán, nǐ zìjǐ kàn. zhèbiān shì tóu, zhèbiān shì shēntǐ, shǒu zài zhèr, jiǎo zài nàr.
Great. Now I can see clearly. The baby's appendages are all very healthy-- take a look! Here's the head, here's the body. His hands are here, and there are his feet.
A哇,这就是我的宝宝,太神奇了!
wā, zhè jiùshì wǒ de bǎobao, tài shénqí le!
Whoa, that's my little baby! Amazing!
