0:00.0	This is the big question I think everybody has.
0:07.2	Does mom really have to give up all the carbs?
0:10.0	What does that look like?
0:11.7	No, please don't give up all your carbs.
0:16.2	Yeah, you know, it is really common to think that is the thing that you have to do
0:20.7	because we know that carbohydrates turn into glucose. So it makes perfect sense that, okay, if I want to lower my blood sugar, my glucose levels, then I would lower how many carbs I eat, right? But you need carbohydrate because like I said, it's our body's main source of fuel,
0:40.0	but you're also growing a human. And I think sometimes what gets lost when we talk about

1:51.6	body, spirit, and partner for a birth you love. So let's get started.
2:08.4	Welcome back to the podcast, you guys. This week's reviewer of the week is LMP from Michigan.
2:14.2	She says, Fearless Birth, thanks to this podcast. I wanted to reach out and personally thank you for all of the work that you put into your web course and podcast. I listened to
2:18.6	your podcast every day throughout my recent pregnancy, and I know that it made a significant
2:22.6	difference in my pregnancy and labor. I am a first time mama, and I got to have the homebirth of
