Summary

aka. "A Cup of Tea with... Amber Minogue" My friend Amber is pregnant and she's due to give birth in just a couple of weeks. In this episode, we talk about what it's like to be pregnant - the challenges, the benefits, the social changes. We also discuss the things you should and shouldn't say/do when you meet a pregnant woman. Listen and you'll find out everything you need to know about interacting with a pregnant woman. The episode contains lots of vocabulary and expressions related to being pregnant and having a baby. I've made a list of vocabulary on this subject, and I intend to record a podcast soon in which I explain all these things, so you will know all the relevant words and phrases related to pregnancy. For the vocabulary list and other notes. Click here to visit my website http://teacherluke.wordpress.com/2014/01/09/161-shes-having-a-baby/
