    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.

    The Wretched Glucose Test, Sugar Crashes, and Pregnancy Sex Phases

    Raise your hand if you’ve ever recorded an entire episode with the mics off… because same. In this chaotic part two, Alicia and Kristian are back to talk about the “wretched” glucose test, why it’s more dramatic than it needs to be, and how to survive it without totally losing your mind. We break down what actually happens at your glucose screening, when it usually happens in pregnancy, why the drink tastes like flat Sprite or week-old fruit punch, and what to expect if you “fail” and have to change your diet or repeat the test. We also get real about nausea, sugar crashes, baby going wild and then radio silent, and why throwing up during the test means you’re starting all over again. Then we shift into waddling after dark energy and talk about sex during pregnancy: the “don’t touch me” phase, the “okay, maybe” phase, and the “get to work” phase when you’re just trying to get that baby OUT. From anxiety about bleeding in the first trimester to using intimacy as a coping tool later on, we’re giving you honest, unfiltered reassurance that you’re not broken, weird, or alone. If you’re a tired, snack-hiding mom or mom-to-be who’s googling symptoms at 2 AM, this episode is your permission slip to laugh, feel seen, and get solid info without the scare tactics. Hit follow, share this with your fellow waddlers, and come hang out with us on Facebook and everywhere you listen to podcasts.
