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.

If you’ve ever stared at your newborn at 2 a.m. wondering, “is this normal or should I call someone?”, this episode is for you. We’re talking about the funny, stressful, wildly unhinged parts of newborn life no one warned you about—but every parent ends up Googling in the dark.

From Cirque du Soleil stretches, demon‑level eye rolls, and grown‑man farts to poop becoming your entire personality and blowouts that only happen at church, we’re here to tell you: your baby is weird, and that’s completely normal. We’ll get into feeding chaos, sleep deprivation that makes you feel feral, postpartum hormones, and why being overwhelmed does not cancel out how much you love your baby.

If you’re constantly asking “is this normal?” and worrying you’re doing everything wrong, you are exactly the mama this podcast was made for. Two moms, nine kids, zero filters—ultrasound tech Alicia and mom‑of‑5 Kristian are here to help you breathe again and say, “oh yeah…that’s normal.

Nobody told you motherhood would feel like this? From bottle drama and pterodactyl screams to car seat tests, stitches, and that shock when an actual baby comes out of your body, we’re saying the quiet parts out loud so you don’t have to struggle in silence.

In this Waddling After Dark “Nobody Told Me” Real Mom Confessions episode, ultrasound tech Alicia and mom‑of‑5 Kristian rapid‑fire through 15 things no one warned you about: babies refusing bottles, dinosaur shrieks, disappearing friends, panic when they finally sleep through the night, pee fountains, soft spots, postpartum rage, vanishing boobs, painful healing, driving after birth, and the surreal magic of those first newborn moments. It’s honest, a little unhinged, medically grounded, and here to make you laugh, cringe, and feel a lot less alone.

Alicia is fresh off the rotavirus, Kristian’s house has been a walking petri dish, and somehow the men are still “rounding up” oxygen levels and forgetting 18-year-long penicillin allergies. In this unfiltered shit show, the girls drag Tim (with love), talk about the invisible mental load moms carry for kids’ medical histories, and ask: is it a “him” problem or a husband problem in general? Then Alicia shares a gut‑punch story from the ultrasound room: a 19‑year‑old pregnant mom who’s being talked down to, ignored, and sent home to Google terrifying terms alone. They dive into medical gaslighting, why age should NEVER decide how your OB treats you, and how scary it feels to be young, pregnant, and dismissed. If you’ve ever felt stupid for asking questions, been blown off by a doctor, or carried the entire medical responsibility for your kids while your partner shrugs, this one is for you. Two moms, nine kids, zero filters—come feel seen, laugh, and get permission to step away before you “snap.”

Are boys really more feral than girls, or is it just the toddler stage? In this episode of The Waddling Truth, ultrasound technologist Alicia and mom‑of‑5 Kristian get real about raising boys vs girls, toddler behavior, and mom life unfiltered for pregnant women and new moms—especially Central Texas and military moms who feel like their house is one tantrum away from collapse.

You’ll hear stories about naked toddlers on top of the fridge, potty‑training “good job!” hype squads in public bathrooms, and siblings who will fight all day but turn into bodyguards the minute someone else corrects them. If you’ve ever wondered whether your toddler is broken, too wild, or if this is just how motherhood actually looks behind closed doors, this episode will make you feel seen, laugh, and breathe a little easier.

Perfect for: pregnancy podcast listeners, new mom podcast bingers, boy moms, girl moms, and any mama surviving on cold coffee and chaos.

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.

Be honest… how many of these are you guilty of? 😂

From craving emergencies and crying over food to 2AM snack raids and getting mad at your partner for breathing… pregnancy turns us all a little feral 💀

If you’ve ever been pregnant (or loved someone who is)… this is WAY too relatable.
