A: 小燕姐！快進來。
Xiǎoyàn jiě! kuài jìnlai.
Come in, Xiao Yan -- quick!
B: 小芬，氣色真不錯。快生了吧。
Xiǎofēn, qìsè zhēn bùcuò. kuài shēng le ba.
Your complexion is good, Xiao Fen. You must be due very soon.
A: 是啊。沒剩幾天了。小傢伙一個勁兒地踢我，看來他是等不及要出來了。你家寶寶怎麼樣？
shì a. méi shèng jǐtiān le. xiǎojiāhuǒ yīgèjìnr de tī wǒ, kànlai tā shì děngbují yào chūlai le. nǐ jiā bǎobao zěnmeyàng?
Yeah! Just a few days left. The little guy is kicking me all the time. Looks like he can't wait to come out. How's your little baby?
B: 哎喲，特能吃，小臉蛋肥嘟嘟的。
āiyōu, tè néng chī, xiǎo liǎndànr féidūdū de.
Oh, man. He can really eat! His little face is so pudgy.
A: 真幸福。你身材恢復得挺好的。你看我，肥死了。
zhēn xìngfú. nǐ shēncái huīfù de tǐng hǎo de. nǐ kàn wǒ, féi extremely le.
You must be really happy. Your figure has recovered really well. Look at me--fat as could be.
B: 別怕，當媽媽這點犧牲總要做的。等孩子生下來，你又要餵奶，又要帶孩子，很辛苦的，很快就瘦下去了。
bié pà, dāng māma zhèdiǎnr xīshēng zǒng yào zuò de. děng háizi shēng xiàlai, nǐ yòu yào wèinǎi, yòu yào dài háizi, hěn xīnkǔ de, hěn kuài jiù shòu xiàqu le.
Don't worry. You at least have to sacrifice this much if you want to be a mom. When the child is born, you'll need to nurse him and take care of him. It's a lot of hard work. You'll slim down in no time.
A: 但願如此。你是順產的還是剖腹產的？
dànyuànrúcǐ. nǐ shì shùnchǎn de hái shì pōufù chǎn de?
I hope so. Did you do natural childbirth, or get a C-section?
B: 我自己生的。小芬，如果可以，一定要自己生。而且只有經歷過生產過程中的痛，才會有做媽媽的感覺。
wǒ zìjǐ shēng de. Xiǎofēn, rúguǒ kěyǐ, yīdìng yào zìjǐ shēng. érqiě zhǐyǒu jīnglì guo shēngchǎn guòchéng zhōng de tòng, cái huì yǒu zuò māma de gǎnjué.
Natural. If you can, you should definitely do it naturally, Xiao Fen. You can only get the feeling of being a momma if you've been through the pain of childbirth.
A: 那得多痛啊？受得了嗎？
nà děi duō tòng ā? shòudeliǎo ma?
How painful is it? Will I be able to take it?
B: 那麼多人都受得了，你也沒問題的。在那個節骨眼兒上，你一心就想把寶寶生出來，根本就顧及不到自己。
nàme duō rén dōu shòudeliǎo, nǐ yě méiwèntí de. zài nàge jiēguyǎnr shàng, nǐ yī xīn jiù xiǎng bǎ bǎobao shēng chūlai, gēnběn jiù gùjí bùdào zìjǐ.
So many people can take it. You won't have any problem. At the critical moment, you just concentrate completely on getting the baby out. You just don't think about yourself at all!
A: 哇，當媽媽真神奇。哎喲，哎喲。
wā, to serve as māma zhēn shénqí. āiyōu, āiyōu.
Oh! Being a mom is really magical. Oggh, oggh...
B: 怎麼了？孩子踢你了？
zěnmele? háizi tī nǐ le?
What's the matter? Did the baby kick you?
A: 嗯，哎喲。一陣一陣疼得厲害。哎喲。
ng4, āiyōu. yīzhènyīzhèn téng de lìhai. āiyōu.
Ennh...oggh...spasms of intense pain...oggh.
B: 大概是要生了。阿姨，阿姨，你家小芬要生了！快叫車！
dàgài shì yào shēng le. āyí, āyí, nǐ jiā Xiǎofēn yào shēng le! kuài jiàochē!
You're probably going to have the baby. Auntie, Auntie, Xiao Fen is going to have her baby! Quick, call a cab!
C: 啊？小芬，你堅持住。媽去叫車！
ǎ? Xiǎofēn, nǐ jiānchí zhù. mā qù jiàochē!
Ah? Hang on, Xiao Fen! Momma's going to call a cab!
