Hey guys, welcome back to Preview Lines podcast.

This is Sarah.

And today I'm very excited that we are going to break down that sugary drink that everybody loves to chug and take down in pregnancy and

figure out why.

And to do this, I have brought in an expert, Dr. Kevin Trista.

And I'm sorry if I heard your last name.

Correct me there.

But he is a high risk doctor, an OB that's going to tell us exactly why we should care about

this sugary drink, what is gestational diabetes, and more importantly, why it impacts not just

our physical health for us and baby, but also our mental health.

So welcome, Kevin, and thank you for the preview alliance podcast guest.

Thank you so much for having me. You nailed my last name. Congratulations. Not the easiest

to say, but I love that you're doing this. You know, this is something that a lot of women deal with

and having avenues like yours, I think is great because I myself learn a lot from podcasts nowadays.

That's where I learn medical things,

non-medical things, and I think it's such an easy thing that we have at our fingertips. So to have

people like myself and other experts on to share some of our knowledge that, you know, you will

experience in a pregnancy, but knowing a little bit of how to time can help kind of calm

some of that anxiety and just the unknown with everything related to it. So thank you again for having me. Perfect. Well, let's dive into this.

Okay, so what is gestational diabetes? It's a big, big word, break it down for us and tell us,

is it like diabetes we may have heard that maybe our grandma has or we know it's in our family

history?
