- Are you or someone you know expecting a baby? If so, you will need this lesson on vocabulary and expressions relating to childbirth. You will learn words such as "trimester", "embryo", "midwife", "stroller", and more. There are also a few important expressions that need to be clarified. For example, "going into labour" does not mean you have a job interview. And no, an "OBGYN" is not some sort of cocktail. Having a baby is an exciting time! This lesson will help prepare you for that special day. Go to engVid.com to take the quiz: www.engvid.com/...
TRANSCRIPT
Hi. Welcome back to www.engvid.com. I'm Adam. Today's lesson is a special one. We're going to talk about having a baby. Everybody loves babies, everybody wants to know: How does this happen? Well, maybe not how it happens, but what happens along the way. So, we're going to talk about having a baby, we're going to talk from the beginning right till you're ready to take the baby home.
So, what happens first? You "conceive" a baby. "Conceive" is the verb. What happens is "conception". At this stage, the "sperm", the male sperm goes into the female "egg". Okay? You're on a vacation somewhere, you don't... You know, you're having fun on your anniversary, you're celebrating, and you conceive a baby. It happens. A cold winter night, too cold to go outside, nothing on TV, you don't know what to do - you conceive a baby. It happens this way, too. So, most people don't know when they conceive their baby, but they know roughly when.
Eventually, the woman will miss her period, you know, which happens every month, and then she will take a pregnancy test with one of those sticks, or she will go to the doctor, and she will find up... Find out that she was "knocked up". "Knocked up" is a very slang expression to mean pregnant. Or, you could say: "She has a bun in the oven." Okay? So, these are two idioms, slang, for "pregnant".
So, the woman is pregnant, what happens next? So, now, she has... She goes to the doctor. The doctor, by the way, is the "OBGYN" for short. "OBGYN, that's what most people say." The "OB" is the obstetrician; the GYN is the gynecologist. These are female doctors. Not... The doctors themselves are not necessarily female. They're doctors for women. Okay? The obstetrician is the one who delivers the baby; the gynecologist is the one who checks the woman's body, makes sure everything's okay, the baby's okay, the woman's okay, everything is set to go. After the visit to the doctor, you will... The woman will get, or the couple will get a "due date". So, the baby is due, generally, roughly nine months later. Okay?
Nine months later, the woman will "give birth" to the baby, or she will "deliver" the baby. Just before that happens, she will "go into labour". So, all of these... All these expressions are basically the same time. She goes into labour... I forgot to mention a word, here. She has "contractions". This is when she feels that pain in the stomach or wherever it happens, that it's very quick, very sharp pain. It comes, it goes. The closer the contractions, the closer she is to giving birth. So, she goes into the... Into labour, she goes to the hospital, and that's where the OBGYN will help deliver the baby.
Now, over the course of the nine months, there are three "trimesters". Now, this might sound familiar. Maybe you know "semester" from high school, you have semesters; one's fall semester, winter semester, and then summer vacation. In a pregnancy, you have a "trimester", so about three months, three months, three months. During that time, the... The sperm and the egg, basically they come together, and then they start developing. The first stage is called a "zygote", the baby or the zygote is, like, tiny, tiny. Then it becomes an "embryo", this is another stage of the development process. Then it becomes a "fetus", another stage. And finally, it comes out as a "baby". Okay.
So, now, the OBGYN will have to help deliver the baby. It could be a "natural birth", and in which case everything just happens naturally. Maybe the woman will want an "epidural". Okay? "Epidural" is a needle, it's a big needle they stick in her spine, basically it relaxes all the muscles so she has less pain and it's a little bit easier to push the baby out. Sometimes and in some situations, the woman will have a "caesarean" or sometimes called a "C-section". This is when the doctor has to cut the stomach and pull the baby out that way. Okay? Sometimes it's by choice, sometimes it's by necessity. Now, one other way...
Another person, by the way, who can help with the baby is a "midwife". Some people don't like to go to the hospital to have the baby; they want to have the baby at home. The OBGYN will not come to your house, but there are people who are trained to deliver babies at home naturally, no epidural, no C-section, no medicines, no machines. Just you, your bed, and the baby coming out. Okay?
Mr. Adam is the best teacher in the World.

Awesome Mr. Adam! Thank you for your useful lesson. In fact, there are a huge number of online teachers who teach IELTS vocabulary, etc; however, I am really tempted to follow your lesson. It is easy to learn and complicated to remember. Thank you so much!
Thanks Mr. Adam i wish you all the best way of life. as you helped us . you gave us a free knowledge thanks once
Thanks a lot Adam, actually I am having a baby in a few week and now I know this important vocabulary to practice with my baby.
thanks Adam your classes are just the best.
I loved the way you did it, with a bit of humor. it's a topic most vocab books don't cover. Thanks a million.
Adam u improve my English a lot. Specially I like ur way of teaching. Ur teaching process is slow but it's helpful for those who r just beginners of English and I like u thank you very much
Thank you very much for this lesson. I'm going to be an Au pair in USA soon, this is such a great help! :)
As always, another perfect lesson from our Adam! 😍😘
I am glad to learn English fro Adams. It's very interesting. The only problem, is because is difficult to keep all the words in my main. Thanks Adams.
Hi Adam! Can you make a video about end sentences with prepositions? It would helps a lot. Thanks and congrats for you channel.
This lesson is so informative.
You are the best engvid teacher !!!!
You are the best teacher...thanks..please give example for conceive and conception
wow! how interesting it is that in Australia which I live, people usually use different words. for example most of the time they use the verb "waiting" as alternative of Pregnancy. or instead of "cradle" they say "rock", "pacifier" is "dummy" and diaper is nappy. plus stroller is pram.
Hello Adam! Very good video. Congrats!... Please, could you make a video about cute words about babies? Like: what words do I use to speak about the baby's chubby folds, or maybe about the will that we have to squeeze them... I hope you can understand my words, because I don't know almost anything about this vocabulary... Thanks for the attention! Regards from Brazil!
the gynecology unusual topic for learning English/ Thanks!
That's the best lecture in biology i've ever heard!
Hi Adam, I love your classes! you are very nice.
Hello Adam,
I regularly follow your tutorials. they are very helpful.
I am taking ielts mock tests and having problem with reading module. at home i practiced Cambridge books and got 32-36. In the mock tests i got in general 25-28. mostly 28 and in few of them above 30 and in three readings i got 13, 15,& 16 respectively. So what could be the reason of this diversity. i am very much upset and don't know what to improve and focus.
In listening i wrote three words answer, which was a phrase i heard in the audio as the instruction said "no more then three words" while the answer consists only one word.
I am looking forward to hear from you.
You are really gifted I like your way of teaching English ... thanks a lot!
hi Adam! thanx for your fav lessons. could u tell the difference between a stroller and a pram?
You are such a wonderful teacher forever

Hi Adam. I would like to know the difference between: studies and study's. I ask this because I read a sentence that states: the study's narrow focus on 30 year old men. I am wondering if its ok? or does it change the meaning writting studies instead of study's. thank you! would you make a video about this ?
This is quite helpful. Always like ur videos! Just one thing: why dont u add some pictures. for example strollers, fomula... Thanks for these useful words
