8 00:00:27.080 --> 00:00:29.320 Let's go to the board and find out. 9 00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:31.599 What does it mean to expect? 10 00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:38.720 Yo-ee, woo, woo, woo, you don't look happy, what the - ugh. 11 00:00:38.720 --> 00:00:42.520 To be expecting, usually it means we're waiting for something to happen. 12 00:00:42.520 --> 00:00:47.240 When it comes to pregnancy, it means to be pregnant. 13 00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:51.479 You're expecting a child, a baby to come out in nine months. 14 00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:56.999 Today's lesson is what to expect when you're expecting, and I'm just going to go through 15 00:00:57.000 --> 00:01:03.280 the beginning, from when the baby is conceived, we'll go through what that means, to when 16 00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:07.720 the baby comes out, and give you a couple of details that might be interesting for you 17 00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:09.040 as an expectant parent. 18 00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:12.480 Remember, you're expecting a parent waiting for a child. 19 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:17.680 There are other issues that we discussed that will not be done in this particular video, 20 00:01:17.680 --> 00:01:23.040 but if you are pregnant right now, or you're trying to get - why don't we just go to the 21 00:01:23.040 --> 00:01:24.040 board? 22 00:01:24.040 --> 00:01:25.040 Ready? 23 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:31.400 So, the first thing I want to talk about is trying to conceive, or trying to have a baby. 24 00:01:31.400 --> 00:01:32.400 Okay? 25 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:35.080 Yes, some people want to have a child. 26 00:01:35.080 --> 00:01:38.480 Some of you are like, "Why would you want this craziness?" 27 00:01:38.480 --> 00:01:39.480 Some people do. 28 00:01:39.480 --> 00:01:43.360 So, what we say is here, you might be at work and your friend comes and goes, "We've been 29 00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:45.500 trying to conceive for the last three months." 30 00:01:45.500 --> 00:01:47.779 It means they are planning on having a child. 31 00:01:47.780 --> 00:01:51.720 They want to have one, and they are actively trying to get one. 32 00:01:51.720 --> 00:01:56.680 So, you might say, "We're trying to have a baby", or "We're trying to conceive". 33 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:57.680 Okay? 34 00:01:57.680 --> 00:01:59.680 That's what they will say. 35 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:04.280 [Coughs] Unplanned. 36 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:12.120 That is when somebody has a baby by accident, they are in adult relationships, and perhaps 37 00:02:12.120 --> 00:02:16.000 not wearing - see, I told you I'm not covering all of these, because it would be called a 38 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:17.560 contraceptive. 39 00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:22.880 A contraceptive is something that a male or a female may use in order to stop a baby from 40 00:02:22.880 --> 00:02:23.880 happening. 41 00:02:23.880 --> 00:02:24.880 Okay? 42 00:02:24.880 --> 00:02:26.120 Different topic. 43 00:02:26.120 --> 00:02:32.040 But if you don't wear a contraceptive, then you may have an unplanned pregnancy, which 44 00:02:32.040 --> 00:02:39.320 means you didn't want to have one, but now somebody is pregnant and expecting a baby. 45 00:02:39.320 --> 00:02:40.320 One more. 46 00:02:40.320 --> 00:02:41.360 Inseminate. 47 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:42.360 What does that mean? 48 00:02:42.360 --> 00:02:46.200 Like, jeez, I came for an English lesson, not a medical one. 49 00:02:46.200 --> 00:02:52.280 "To inseminate" means to put semen in something, which means to make a lady pregnant. 50 00:02:52.280 --> 00:03:00.280 The sperm - ah, mama told me to go back to school and be a doctor, but did I listen? 51 00:03:00.280 --> 00:03:01.280 No. 52 00:03:01.280 --> 00:03:02.280 Okay. 53 00:03:02.280 --> 00:03:03.280 That's a little sperm. 54 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:04.280 It meets the egg. 55 00:03:04.280 --> 00:03:05.680 "Inseminate" means they meet up. 56 00:03:05.680 --> 00:03:06.680 Okay? 57 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:07.680 Why am I telling you this? 58 00:03:07.680 --> 00:03:11.360 Because some people get what's called "artificial insemination". 59 00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:14.800 That means they go to a doctor who injects a woman. 60 00:03:14.800 --> 00:03:19.240 There is no male/female, they're injected, and the sperm goes to the egg, but not through 61 00:03:19.240 --> 00:03:20.360 the normal way. 62 00:03:20.360 --> 00:03:23.200 So, "to inseminate" means to put in, right? 63 00:03:23.200 --> 00:03:25.479 In this case, it could be "artificial insemination". 64 00:03:25.480 --> 00:03:31.280 Now, you don't - please don't - do not ask a woman, "Were you artificially inseminated?" 65 00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:35.560 That's private business, but it might be what happens, and they may explain it to you, like, 66 00:03:35.560 --> 00:03:39.120 "I had to be artificially inseminated because of different reasons." 67 00:03:39.120 --> 00:03:42.240 Okay? 68 00:03:42.240 --> 00:03:47.120 Usually when a woman is pregnant, the first sign she will know that she is pregnant is 69 00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:49.560 that she misses a period. 70 00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:52.720 There are videos on engVid about menstrual cycle. 71 00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:56.360 Yes, I said "menstrual", and it has nothing to do with men. 72 00:03:56.360 --> 00:03:59.760 It should be "womenstrual", but that's too difficult to say. 73 00:03:59.760 --> 00:04:00.880 Check it out, okay? 74 00:04:00.880 --> 00:04:05.160 It will tell you about the cycles of a woman, a woman's moon, things like that, and then 75 00:04:05.160 --> 00:04:08.280 you'll understand what it means when a woman misses one. 76 00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:12.960 If you're a guy, that's when you go, "Damn!" 77 00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:16.880 Unless you have a planned pregnancy, then you're like, "All right!" 78 00:04:16.880 --> 00:04:17.880 Okay? 79 00:04:17.880 --> 00:04:22.520 So, when a woman misses her period, that time of her month is another way we say it, she 80 00:04:22.520 --> 00:04:24.320 may be pregnant. 81 00:04:24.320 --> 00:04:29.600 The best way to tell is not to wait for the next period she misses, but that is time to 82 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:31.200 get a pregnancy test. 83 00:04:31.200 --> 00:04:36.520 Now, I don't know, because I'm such a good boy, I've never been in this situation, or 84 00:04:36.520 --> 00:04:37.520 maybe I'm not lucky. 85 00:04:37.520 --> 00:04:38.520 I don't know. 86 00:04:38.520 --> 00:04:39.520 Who knows? 87 00:04:39.520 --> 00:04:44.640 It will either have a blue dot or not, and it means pregnant, not pregnant. 88 00:04:44.640 --> 00:04:49.279 Each kit or test is different, but best to get one done, and I would say probably try 89 00:04:49.279 --> 00:04:54.199 it two or three times, just in case, to see what the result is. 90 00:04:54.200 --> 00:04:58.279 Depending on that, then you need to go see a doctor, and you get - well, we've got medical 91 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:02.239 over here, so why don't I go - well, I'll do this one first. 92 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:06.080 Then if you're pregnant, you're going to go through three different stages. 93 00:05:06.080 --> 00:05:09.320 Three stages of pregnancy are called "trimesters". 94 00:05:09.320 --> 00:05:12.680 "Tri" means three; it's Latin. 95 00:05:12.680 --> 00:05:13.680 Right? 96 00:05:13.680 --> 00:05:14.680 "Tri". 97 00:05:14.680 --> 00:05:18.900 So, "trimesters" and "semester", there are three parts to the pregnancy. 98 00:05:18.900 --> 00:05:21.240 The first is "egg to fetus". 99 00:05:21.240 --> 00:05:24.920 If you remember, I talked about the egg, that little thing here. 100 00:05:24.920 --> 00:05:30.320 That is when it starts to start becoming a baby. 101 00:05:30.320 --> 00:05:36.600 This is a very important stage. 102 00:05:36.600 --> 00:05:43.839 In many Western cultures, countries, the first to 13 weeks, they call it a fetus. 103 00:05:43.839 --> 00:05:46.719 It is not considered a baby just yet. 104 00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:47.720 This is very important. 105 00:05:47.720 --> 00:05:55.120 I will not go into why or the moral problems or implications - implications means problems 106 00:05:55.120 --> 00:05:59.520 - that arise from this, but it is to say that it is not necessarily considered a baby at 107 00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:01.040 this point in time. 108 00:06:01.040 --> 00:06:04.160 But it is considered alive, okay? 109 00:06:04.160 --> 00:06:06.320 It is alive. 110 00:06:06.320 --> 00:06:09.599 But there are no features, there is nothing you can tell it's a baby. 111 00:06:09.600 --> 00:06:14.600 We would say it's a bunch of cells, so it's a bunch of cells coming together, so that 112 00:06:14.600 --> 00:06:15.960 is called the fetus. 113 00:06:15.960 --> 00:06:19.360 This is between weeks 1 and 13. 114 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:25.760 At this time, generally, nobody talks or tells other people about the baby, partly because 115 00:06:25.760 --> 00:06:27.279 of what I just told you. 116 00:06:27.279 --> 00:06:30.539 The other is, this is a very dangerous time for a woman. 117 00:06:30.540 --> 00:06:34.080 The baby may be lost, okay? 118 00:06:34.080 --> 00:06:40.120 If the baby is lost, it's called a miscarriage, and that means something has gone wrong during 119 00:06:40.120 --> 00:06:41.120 the pregnancy. 120 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:46.440 So, generally put, no one says anything about whether they are pregnant or not at this time. 121 00:06:46.440 --> 00:06:50.120 It's partly tradition, but partly medical concern. 122 00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:52.879 On the second trimester, we have features. 123 00:06:52.880 --> 00:06:56.920 Features like doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo, eyes, nose, lips, okay? 124 00:06:56.920 --> 00:06:58.880 They can see different things about the baby. 125 00:06:58.880 --> 00:06:59.880 They have features. 126 00:06:59.880 --> 00:07:02.560 This is between 14 and 26 weeks. 127 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:05.560 This is the magical time when people call it a baby. 128 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:07.199 It is now a baby. 129 00:07:07.200 --> 00:07:14.640 It has gone from fetus to baby, and this is when people will say something like "I'm pregnant". 130 00:07:14.640 --> 00:07:18.080 You can't do a gender reveal just yet, but some were in here, right? 131 00:07:18.080 --> 00:07:22.240 So, a gender reveal, I would say, I'm not a doctor, but it could be anywhere from here 132 00:07:22.240 --> 00:07:26.520 to here, is when you know if the baby is a boy or a girl. 133 00:07:26.520 --> 00:07:31.000 You have your features, so you know it's got eyes and feet and hands, but gender reveal 134 00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:34.200 is in between this section here, 14 to 40. 135 00:07:34.200 --> 00:07:35.200 Don't know? 136 00:07:35.200 --> 00:07:36.200 Every baby's different. 137 00:07:36.200 --> 00:07:38.200 Just like everybody. 138 00:07:38.200 --> 00:07:40.120 Okay. 139 00:07:40.120 --> 00:07:41.120 Rapid growth. 140 00:07:41.120 --> 00:07:44.840 This is when, like, okay, here in this area, you'll hear heartbeat and other things, but 141 00:07:44.840 --> 00:07:47.520 we'll get to that over there, but rapid growth happens. 142 00:07:47.520 --> 00:07:53.360 The baby grows very, very quickly between this last trimester, and in many countries, 143 00:07:53.360 --> 00:07:57.720 this is also an important time because nothing is allowed legally to happen to that baby 144 00:07:57.720 --> 00:07:58.720 at this point in time. 145 00:07:58.720 --> 00:08:01.960 It is considered a human being, okay? 146 00:08:01.960 --> 00:08:05.040 Third trimester in many places, most. 147 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:07.960 What can a woman experience during these trimesters? 148 00:08:07.960 --> 00:08:11.900 Well, she can expect to have morning sickness. 149 00:08:11.900 --> 00:08:16.080 That means she gets up in the morning, turns around, maybe sits down, sits down and takes 150 00:08:16.080 --> 00:08:22.639 a little pee, pee, pee, pee, think of some - like, what happens? 151 00:08:22.640 --> 00:08:23.640 Morning sickness. 152 00:08:23.640 --> 00:08:24.640 I don't know why. 153 00:08:24.640 --> 00:08:27.480 Not every woman experiences it, but some do. 154 00:08:27.480 --> 00:08:29.920 I don't know if many - probably many do. 155 00:08:29.920 --> 00:08:31.800 That's why it's a thing, right? 156 00:08:31.800 --> 00:08:32.800 Morning sickness. 157 00:08:32.800 --> 00:08:34.439 She is sick in the morning. 158 00:08:34.440 --> 00:08:40.600 Also, unlike me who's been eating for three, she'll feel like she's eating for two. 159 00:08:40.600 --> 00:08:42.840 She is eating a lot of food. 160 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:44.160 This is this rapid growth. 161 00:08:44.160 --> 00:08:46.080 There is something growing inside her. 162 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:47.080 She's very, very hungry. 163 00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.080 And at the same time, she's tired. 164 00:08:50.080 --> 00:08:51.080 Why? 165 00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:56.440 Well, you try and build a house every single day, 20 hours a day, and don't see if you're 166 00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.880 tired, and then this big thing grows on you and you walk like this. 167 00:08:59.880 --> 00:09:01.000 You will be tired. 168 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.279 And as you build the house, you'll need more food, and I don't know if that has to do with 169 00:09:04.280 --> 00:09:09.839 morning sickness, because as the baby grows, all of the things in a woman, her organs, 170 00:09:09.840 --> 00:09:10.840 get smaller. 171 00:09:10.840 --> 00:09:11.840 Right? 172 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:16.120 They're pushed out as the baby comes, so you have to kind of be, you know, understand that. 173 00:09:16.120 --> 00:09:20.400 So, morning sickness, eating more, and tired are the things that are going to happen during 174 00:09:20.400 --> 00:09:22.480 pregnancy during the trimesters. 175 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:23.480 Cool? 176 00:09:23.480 --> 00:09:24.480 All right. 177 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:30.800 Now, this is all the nice stuff on the outside, but in the 21st century, what do most women 178 00:09:30.800 --> 00:09:31.800 do? 179 00:09:31.800 --> 00:09:35.679 They go to a medical facility to find out what's going on. 180 00:09:35.679 --> 00:09:41.319 Now, in North America, I believe this is the same in Europe, I can't say at all places, 181 00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:47.960 there are three possible people you can go to to talk about having a healthy pregnancy. 182 00:09:47.960 --> 00:09:50.920 Now, I'm going to go with education. 183 00:09:50.920 --> 00:09:52.679 It doesn't mean one is better. 184 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:57.359 Each person can use the people I will mention as they need them. 185 00:09:57.360 --> 00:10:02.179 Some people will use all three, some people will use two, some will use one. 186 00:10:02.179 --> 00:10:04.319 The first one is your OB/GYN. 187 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:09.720 Okay, you're about to laugh because I'm going to have a very difficult time saying this. 188 00:10:09.720 --> 00:10:13.200 Obstetrician/gynecologist, okay? 189 00:10:13.200 --> 00:10:17.800 This is a person who's actually a medical doctor, has gone to medical school, is a doctor 190 00:10:17.800 --> 00:10:22.679 and specializes in dealing with pregnant women. 191 00:10:22.679 --> 00:10:25.559 Prenatal means before birth, prenatal care, okay? 192 00:10:25.559 --> 00:10:27.559 Prenatal and during pregnancy, sorry. 193 00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:30.279 Prenatal care during pregnancy and delivering. 194 00:10:30.280 --> 00:10:35.960 This doctor is able to do that and any type of medical procedure, because if something 195 00:10:35.960 --> 00:10:40.360 happens to the woman, maybe she's giving birth and there's a problem, this is actually a 196 00:10:40.360 --> 00:10:41.720 doctor. 197 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:45.679 They can actually be a doctor, not just a baby specialist. 198 00:10:45.679 --> 00:10:53.559 Now, a midwife is a person, I guess they could have a mid-husband, I don't know, who has 199 00:10:53.559 --> 00:10:56.879 done a bachelor's degree in health sciences. 200 00:10:56.880 --> 00:11:01.920 They are not doctors, but they have a specialty in delivering healthy babies and they have 201 00:11:01.920 --> 00:11:04.780 gone to university and done health sciences. 202 00:11:04.780 --> 00:11:10.240 They can help with bringing the baby, delivering, they can help with prenatal, but any medical 203 00:11:10.240 --> 00:11:13.559 procedure, they are not doctors, they cannot do. 204 00:11:13.559 --> 00:11:17.279 Now, the third one is called a doula. 205 00:11:17.280 --> 00:11:23.799 A doula does not have any medical training whatsoever, however, they are so good in creating 206 00:11:23.800 --> 00:11:26.240 an environment that a woman can deliver. 207 00:11:26.240 --> 00:11:31.220 They will massage a woman while she's delivering her baby, they will help her with breathing, 208 00:11:31.220 --> 00:11:32.880 they will give guidance. 209 00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:36.400 Interestingly enough, the word doula comes from Greek, which means servant. 210 00:11:36.400 --> 00:11:37.400 Cool, huh? 211 00:11:37.400 --> 00:11:40.040 It's like a servant while you're having a baby. 212 00:11:40.040 --> 00:11:42.120 Wow, royalty. 213 00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:43.800 Not even born in the things like a king. 214 00:11:43.800 --> 00:11:45.679 Anyway, that's another. 215 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:48.599 So, what do we do when we look at the medical end of it? 216 00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:51.359 One of the first things we do are regular checkups. 217 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:55.120 We talked about the three sessions of first trimester, second, third. 218 00:11:55.120 --> 00:12:00.900 We want to have regular checkups to make sure the baby is okay in each stage. 219 00:12:00.900 --> 00:12:03.360 With the ultrasound, we get to hear the heartbeat. 220 00:12:03.360 --> 00:12:07.320 We also get to see the features of the baby, so a lot of times when people say they've 221 00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.200 got their ultrasound, that's when they can see the fingers, the feet, and if it's a girl 222 00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:12.600 or a boy. 223 00:12:12.600 --> 00:12:16.760 But especially important is listening for that heartbeat to know the baby is alive and 224 00:12:16.760 --> 00:12:17.760 healthy. 225 00:12:17.760 --> 00:12:18.760 Cool? 226 00:12:18.760 --> 00:12:19.760 Alright. 227 00:12:19.760 --> 00:12:24.319 So, that's the medical end of this, having this wonderful package we call a baby. 228 00:12:24.320 --> 00:12:27.400 Now, here's the part that's not so good. 229 00:12:27.400 --> 00:12:32.120 Nine months, you've gone through morning sickness, being tired, walking around with a building, 230 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:36.639 and then you get to the labor part. 231 00:12:36.640 --> 00:12:44.640 This is the best part because no woman, no cry, she's not crying, her water broke. 232 00:12:44.640 --> 00:12:48.920 When a woman is about to give birth, it is not - she will have some ideas, she'll get 233 00:12:48.920 --> 00:12:52.480 some false contractions or phantom contractions, I believe they're called. 234 00:12:52.480 --> 00:12:58.760 But when she gets strong contractions, something happens, her water will break. 235 00:12:58.760 --> 00:13:01.120 Water can break and look like a woman has peed her pants. 236 00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:06.320 When I say peed, she has gone to number one, pee-pee in her pants, and it's all over. 237 00:13:06.320 --> 00:13:11.679 So, basically, the bag that keeps the baby in has broken, the liquid is coming out because 238 00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:12.679 the baby is coming. 239 00:13:12.679 --> 00:13:17.599 So, if you ever hear a woman say, "Oh my god, my water broke", she needs to go to a hospital 240 00:13:17.600 --> 00:13:19.960 or get her midwife or doula right away. 241 00:13:19.960 --> 00:13:21.760 The baby is coming out. 242 00:13:21.760 --> 00:13:22.760 Okay? 243 00:13:22.760 --> 00:13:26.760 So, let's move on to dilation - dietation. 244 00:13:26.760 --> 00:13:28.120 Okay. 245 00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.480 I don't think you're hungry and it's not a diet. 246 00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:34.360 Ah, sorry about that. 247 00:13:34.360 --> 00:13:40.000 You think I could deliver a lesson properly, boom-boom-boom-psh, okay. 248 00:13:40.000 --> 00:13:42.800 So, dilation. 249 00:13:42.800 --> 00:13:47.800 Okay, dilation is an opening. 250 00:13:47.800 --> 00:13:50.200 When something dilates, it gets bigger. 251 00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:51.940 Your eyes do this. 252 00:13:51.940 --> 00:13:56.120 If you're in a dark room, the pupil or dark part of your eye will get larger. 253 00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:58.160 It will dilate to bring in more light. 254 00:13:58.160 --> 00:14:03.440 In this case, for a woman, at her bottom part, it will dilate to allow the baby to come out. 255 00:14:03.440 --> 00:14:08.840 Okay, so they talk about - the doctors will say it is dilated to this much or this much, 256 00:14:08.840 --> 00:14:13.040 meaning the baby is coming because the body is opening to allow it out. 257 00:14:13.040 --> 00:14:15.960 Now, delivery is when they're cutting it out. 258 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:19.680 Now, I didn't write down umbilical cord, but there is a cord that connects the mother and 259 00:14:19.680 --> 00:14:20.680 the child. 260 00:14:20.680 --> 00:14:27.920 So, here's your mama, here's you, she's so happy to see you. 261 00:14:27.920 --> 00:14:31.520 There's a cord, it's called the umbilical cord, they cut that. 262 00:14:31.520 --> 00:14:33.240 That's part of the delivery process. 263 00:14:33.240 --> 00:14:37.720 Once that has happened and they tie it, this is you, you are now delivered. 264 00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:41.880 Like a FedEx package - no, Amazon, they get it better. 265 00:14:41.880 --> 00:14:45.200 Amazon package is delivered and you are done. 266 00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:50.719 And this is our process of what to expect, what to expect when you're expecting. 267 00:14:50.720 --> 00:14:55.400 I've taken you from the little baby, trying to get the baby, to what the stages of the 268 00:14:55.400 --> 00:14:59.880 baby are, who will basically be involved, and what happens when you're in that hospital 269 00:14:59.880 --> 00:15:00.880 bed. 270 00:15:00.880 --> 00:15:04.800 This woman is grabbing your arm and squeezing the life right out of you. 271 00:15:04.800 --> 00:15:08.120 She's squeezing you, going "Aaah!", you're like "Don't kill me!" because that baby's 272 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:09.120 coming out. 273 00:15:09.120 --> 00:15:11.600 It's these contractions and the pain that she's going through. 274 00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:15.900 So, that's why we in North America celebrate Mother's Day, because anybody who goes through 275 00:15:15.900 --> 00:15:19.360 that deserves one day of the year just for them. 276 00:15:19.360 --> 00:15:24.320 So, now what we're going to do is I want to introduce you to slang terms that you will 277 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:30.400 probably hear your friends say more than we're trying to conceive right after this. 278 00:15:30.400 --> 00:15:31.760 Okay?

303 00:16:55.680 --> 00:17:01.600 You put the bread in and it's soft and gushy and blah, but then 20 minutes later, it smells 304 00:17:01.600 --> 00:17:04.560 good, it comes out, you're like, "Oh, it's delicious!" 305 00:17:04.560 --> 00:17:08.440 Babies aren't delicious, actually they are, the barbecue sauce. 306 00:17:08.440 --> 00:17:14.820 I mean, no, babies aren't delicious, but what they mean by that is that babies are something 307 00:17:14.820 --> 00:17:19.800 special, like a warm loaf or a warm bread is special, especially on a Sunday morning. 308 00:17:19.800 --> 00:17:23.880 So a bun in the oven means something's being produced and something really incredible's 309 00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:25.720 going to come out later, okay?

314 00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:38.480 This is usually around the younger set. 315 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:42.240 Younger people, "They're preggers, they're prego", okay? 316 00:17:42.240 --> 00:17:47.080 It's not an Italian sauce, it's just a prego, prego goes well with the parmigiana. 317 00:17:47.080 --> 00:17:48.080 No. 318 00:17:48.080 --> 00:17:50.920 Please, Italian people, don't kill me because I said "prego". 319 00:17:50.920 --> 00:17:53.560 I know it's a terrible Italian accent, okay? 320 00:17:53.560 --> 00:17:58.160 But prego or preggers, usually younger people, okay? 321 00:17:58.160 --> 00:18:04.000 They'll say "They're preggers, prego", same thing, usually said in a fun, nice way. 322 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:10.720 Eating for two is a nice colloquialism, or it's a nice little saying, saying that person's 323 00:18:10.720 --> 00:18:14.320 bigger or they're eating a lot of food because they're pregnant. 324 00:18:14.320 --> 00:18:18.760 So without even having the word there, saying they're eating for two, everyone goes, "Oh, 325 00:18:18.760 --> 00:18:19.760 are you pregnant? 326 00:18:19.760 --> 00:18:22.600 Oh my gosh, when are you due?" 327 00:18:22.600 --> 00:18:23.600 You know what I forgot? 328 00:18:23.600 --> 00:18:24.600 I forgot "due". 329 00:18:24.600 --> 00:18:26.040 "Due" is when are you going to have the baby. 330 00:18:26.040 --> 00:18:27.040 See? 331 00:18:27.040 --> 00:18:28.040 Good thing you stuck around. 332 00:18:28.040 --> 00:18:30.119 All the people who left, they didn't learn that one. 333 00:18:30.119 --> 00:18:33.519 When someone says "When are you due?", it means when will you have the baby, not when 334 00:18:33.520 --> 00:18:36.720 is rent going to be paid, okay?

343 00:19:11.900 --> 00:19:16.320 And it means the father or the family's like, "You did this, now you have to marry this 344 00:19:16.320 --> 00:19:17.320 person." 345 00:19:17.320 --> 00:19:18.320 Yeah. 346 00:19:18.320 --> 00:19:24.400 So, this isn't a fun one, but if you hear someone say "It was a shotgun wedding", you 347 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:28.640 probably have a question or two, like "Are they pregnant?" or, you know, because someone 348 00:19:28.640 --> 00:19:31.680 is being forced to marry somebody for a reason. 349 00:19:31.680 --> 00:19:39.400 Anyway, I got something for you, because this wouldn't be a James Closs with Mr. E if we 350 00:19:39.400 --> 00:19:41.400 didn't give you homework. 351 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:48.359 And because it's for a baby, I'm going to give you zero points, like the big belly, 352 00:19:48.359 --> 00:19:52.539 not because it's not worth anything, but this is worth it for you to learn for the important 353 00:19:52.540 --> 00:19:55.500 people in your life, right? 354 00:19:55.500 --> 00:19:58.359 You were born, so your mother's one of them, right? 355 00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:03.179 But your sister may be, your wife or friends, and you want to be able to share in that experience 356 00:20:03.180 --> 00:20:06.439 with them, and you can use some of these terms, right?
