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.
