So then he proceeds to tell us the baby's heart rate trace went from 18 minutes, the baby's heart rate was in the normal zone and for two minutes it was in what appeared to be my heart rate zone and I said, "Is it possible that maybe this was my heart rate? 接下来医生告诉我们 宝宝的心率追踪持续 18 分钟 宝宝的心率落在正常的区间内 但有两分钟的时间内变成是 我的心率区间 我就问 有可能这是我的心率吗?

And then he says, "Your chances of having a miscarriage double when you go past your due date. Let's get you a room." 他接着说 过了预产期后,你流产的可能性 整整多了一倍让我们幫你准备病房吧

Where are we here with this miscarriage thing? 流产的可能性到底是多少?

I said, "Okay, so you are telling me that my chances go from a 0.1-percent chance to a 0.2-percent chance." 我说 那么你说的可能性 上升至 0.2% 对吧
Okay, so at this point the data is not convincing us that we need to be induced , and so then we proceed to have a conversation about how inductions lead to a higher rate of Cesarean sections, and if at all possible we'd like to avoid that. 所以在这个点上这个数据无法说服我们夫妻俩 让我们催生宝宝 接下来我们讨论 催生让剖腹产的机率变高了 如果有可能的话,我们就尽可能要避开它

And then I said, "And I really don't think my due date is accurate ." 于是我就说 我觉得我的预产期一点也不准确

(Laughter) (笑声)
And so this really stunned him and he looked sort of puzzled and I said, "You may not know this, but pregnancy due dates are calculated assuming that you have a standard 28-day cycle, and my cycle ranges — sometimes it's 27, sometimes it's up to 38 — and I have been collecting the data to prove it. 医生听到后有些错愕 他看起来有点困惑 我就说 你可能不知道 怀孕预产期的计算方法 是建立在你有标准28天的经期 而我的经期不固定 有时候 27 天,有时候到 38 天 而我也一直收集数据来证明这一切

And I'm not advocating that you not listen to your doctors, because even with our first child, we were induced at 38 weeks; cervical fluid was low. 我并不是要鼓吹大家不听医生的话 因为即使是我们的第一个孩子 也是在 38 周时就催生是因为子宫颈黏液偏低

Now, what does that data look like? 这些数据显示些什么呢?
Here's a standard chart of a woman's waking body temperature during the course of a cycle. 这是女性月经周期中 基础体温的 标准图表
So from the beginning of the menstrual cycle till the beginning of the next. 从此次月经周期的开始 到下一次月经来临前

at the beginning of:在…的开始;
So what's happening here? 这里发生什么事?
What is that data telling you? 这些数据表达些什么呢?
Well, ladies, at the beginning of our cycle, the hormone estrogen is dominant and that estrogen causes a suppression of your body temperature. 女士们,在你们月经周期一开始时 荷尔蒙雌激素主导你的身体 雌激素会幫身体降温

Ladies, this is exactly what our bodies do every month, they heat up in anticipation of keeping a new little life warm. 各位女士,这就是我们身体每个月所做的事情 身体会先预热 才能让这个新生命保持温暖
And if nothing happens, if you are not pregnant, then estrogen takes back over and that cycle starts all over again. 如果没有任何事情发生假使你没有怀孕 雌激素就拿回主控权所有周期又会重新再开始一次

elevated:adj.提高的;高尚的;欢欣的;v.提高;振奋;提拔;(elevate的过去分词和过去式)

Here's a chart that we had about three or four years ago. 这是三、四年前我们用的图表
We were really very excited about this chart. 我们对这图表真的很开心
You'll see the low temperature level and then a shift and for about five days, that's about the time it takes for the egg to travel down the fallopian tube and implant , and then you see those temperatures start to go up a little bit. 你可以看见这低温的数据 之后温度转变,并且持续五天 这时候卵子出发 顺着输卵管而下然后着床 之后你会发现温度又会往上提升

And in fact, we had a second temperature shift, confirmed with a pregnancy test that were indeed pregnant with our first child, very exciting. 这是第二次温度的改变 透过验孕,我真的怀孕了 那是我们的第一个孩子我们非常兴奋
Until a couple of days later 直到几天后
I saw some spotting and then I noticed heavy blood flow, and we had in fact had an early stage miscarriage. 我看到点状出血之后感觉到一股大量的血流下来 其实我遇到了怀孕初期的流产
Had I not been taking my temperature 这样看起来要是我没量体温的话
I really would have just thought my period was late that month, but we actually had data to show that we had miscarried this baby, and even though this data revealed a really unfortunate event in our lives, it was information that we could then take to our doctor. 我可能只会觉得那个月的经期晚来而已 不过我们的数据显示出 我们已经失去这个宝宝了 即使这数据也让我们看到 我们生命中非常不幸的一件事 我们之后拿着这些资讯给医生看

What is it that we can do to help prevent this problem? 我们能够做些什么预防这种问题再次发生呢?
And it's not just about temperatures and it's not just about fertility; we can use data about our bodies to tell us a lot of things. 这不只是关于体温 也不只是跟生育有关 而是身体的数据能够让我们知道很多事情
For instance , did you know that taking your temperature can tell you a lot about the condition of your thyroid ? 像是,你知道量体温可以知道 甲状腺的状况吗?
instance:n.实例;情况;建议;v.举...为例; thyroid:n.甲状腺;甲状软骨;甲状腺剂;adj.甲状腺的;盾状的;
So, your thyroid works a lot like the thermostat in your house. 甲状腺的功能像跟你家里的中央空调一样

There is an optimal temperature that you want in your house; you set your thermostat. 我们总是希望房子里维持最佳的温度 所以我们会设定中央空调
optimal:adj.最佳的;最理想的;
When it gets too cold in the house, your thermostat kicks in and says, "Hey, we need to blow some heat around." 当房子里的温度下降中央空调就会开始运转 并说 我们把将热气送进来
Or if it gets too hot, your thermostat registers , "Turn the A.C. on. Cool us off." 如果房子里太热,中央空调 就会说 开冷气吧,让大家凉快
registers:n.登记; v.登记;
That's exactly how your thyroid works in your body. 这就是甲状腺在你身体里的功能

If it gets too cold, your thyroid says, "Hey, we need to heat up." 如果温度太低,甲状腺就会说嘿,我们要升温
If it gets too hot, your thyroid cools you down. 如果温度太高甲状腺就会幫你降温
But what happens when your thyroid is not functioning well? 不过,要是你的甲状腺失去功用会怎么样呢?

erratic:adj.不稳定的;古怪的;n.漂泊无定的人;古怪的人;
And so by collecting this data you can find out information about your thyroid. 所以收集这些数据 你就可以知道甲状腺的讯息
Now, what is it, if you had a thyroid problem and you went to the doctor, your doctor would actually test the amount of thyroid stimulating hormone in your blood. 现在要是你有了甲状腺问题然后你去看医生 你的医生其实只会檢测血液中 促甲状腺激素的值
stimulating:adj.激励人的; v.促进; (stimulate的现在分词)
Fine. But the problem with that test is it doesn't tell you how active the hormone is in your body. 不错,可是这个檢测的问题在于 这并不会跟你说身体内激素的活跃度有多高
So you might have a lot of hormone present, but it might not be actively working to regulate your body temperature. 所以你可能身体里有非常多的激素 却没有办法活跃的运作 幫你调节身体的温度
regulate:v.调节;控制;
So just by collecting your temperature every day, you get information about the condition of your thyroid. 所以只要每天收集你的体温 你就可以知道关于甲状腺状况的讯息

I advocate that you do, but there are tons of other things you could take. 我还是建议量体温 不过也有其他东西可以记录

assume:v.承担;假定;采取;呈现;
Now, emergency room doctors are trained to make decisions quickly, but not always accurately. 现在急诊室医生的训练都是要他们能快速做决策 但不能永远都那么准确
And so had we had some information about our heart health to share with him, maybe we would have gotten a better diagnosis the first time. 所以要是我们将自己 心脏健康的状况分享给医生 或许在第一时间我们就能有更好的诊断
