When Moms Get Dismissed: Medical Gaslighting, Young Pregnancy Shame, and Husbands Who ‘Forget’ Allergies
from The waddling Truth · host The Waddling Truth Podcast
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.”
