This is the second episode in a series of interviews with English speakers about their personal health experiences. They are designed to support your English language learning in the context of healthcare, especially your listening skills. In this episode I talk to Olga about her experience of Hyperemesis Gravidarum. She describes being diagnosed with this condition and in what ways it impacted her day-to-day life during pregnancy. There is a wide range of useful vocabulary on the topic of pregnancy, for example, ‘to be induced’ or ‘to have an induction’, which is the term for when labour is stimulated for a pregnant woman, often in the case that the baby has gone past its due date. You could visit the NHS website to read about this condition before you listen as a preparation exercise at Severe vomiting in pregnancy - NHS (www.nhs.uk).
