    Gender Disappointment In Pregnancy: You’re NOT a Bad Mom

    You were told, “as long as the baby’s healthy,” so why do you feel a pit in your stomach after the gender reveal? If you’re pregnant and secretly grieving the girl or boy you imagined, this episode is your safe space. Ultrasound tech Alicia and mom‑of‑5 Kristian get brutally honest about gender disappointment in pregnancy—what it really feels like in the ultrasound room, why it doesn’t make you ungrateful, and how to process those big feelings without drowning in shame. From sobbing in the parking lot after a smoke bomb turns blue, to hearing “are you going to try again for a girl/boy?” while you’re still pregnant, they’re saying the quiet stuff out loud so you don’t feel alone. This episode is for you if you’ve ever thought, “I love this baby, but I’m still sad,” especially after multiple kids, miscarriage, or early DNA testing that felt like a tease. You’ll walk away feeling seen, validated, and reminded that your baby can still be better than anything you planned—even if the gender wasn’t what you expected. In this episode, we talk about: What gender disappointment actually is (and why it’s more like grieving a dream than rejecting your baby) Real stories from the ultrasound studio and a mom of 5 girls who never got the “boy” people kept asking about How comments like “you finally got your girl/boy” quietly invalidate your other children Practical ways to process guilt, sadness, and “I should just be grateful” thoughts while still bonding with your baby If this topic makes you uncomfortable, good—that means it’s real. Hit play, take a deep breath, and know you’re not the only mama who’s ever felt this wa

    Broken Trust: Fort Hood OB‑GYN Recording Scandal, Mom Advocacy, and Medical Consent

    In this episode, we talk about what happens when the one place you’re supposed to feel safe—the exam room—becomes the source of your worst fears. We break down the alleged Fort Hood OB‑GYN recording scandal and what it means for every pregnant woman who has ever laid on a table in a paper gown and hoped she could trust her doctor. Alicia (ultrasound tech and owner of Lil Blessings Baby 4D in Temple, TX) and Kristian (mom of 5 girls under 7) share how this news is shaking their Central Texas and military community, what Alicia is hearing from scared clients, and why so many moms are now questioning medical consent, privacy, and boundaries. We cover: What’s being alleged in the Fort Hood OB‑GYN case and why it hits so close to home for military families The power imbalance in OB/GYN and L&D settings—and how that silence can be dangerous Red flags to watch for in exams, ultrasounds, and hospital policies Practical scripts you can use to say “no,” ask questions, and bring a support person into the room How to advocate for yourself without feeling “dramatic,” “crazy,” or “difficult” If you’ve ever left an appointment feeling uneasy but unsure why, this conversation is your reminder that your body, your privacy, and your consent are not negotiable. You deserve to understand what’s happening to you and to feel safe while it’s happening. New here?Two moms. Nine kids. Zero filters. The Waddling Truth is where medical expertise (Alicia) meets real‑life chaos (Kristian) so you feel less alone and more informed through pregnancy, postpartum, and everything that comes after.
