Welcome to the bad broadcast.

Thank you for joining me today. I hope you're all having a lovely Monday. We made it to April.

I have simultaneously been pregnant for a thousand years

and five seconds. Very ice cold take on that one. I think that every single pregnant person

feels like it's dragging and then like they blink and they're in their third trimester. So

we're almost there. We're not quite in my third trimester, but I did take my glucose test. And I've been really worried about this, as you guys

know, because I'm the thirstiest woman on the planet. And when you look up extreme thirst in

pregnancy, you get three answers. Okay? One of them is, yeah, pregnant

women are thirsty, pregnant women pee a lot, nothing to worry about. The second one is you definitely

have gestational diabetes, 100%. And for anyone who has not been pregnant, you you know, no kids doesn't know what the deal is with

gestational diabetes. It's not something with your, what makes insulin? Your pain, is it your pancreas?

Wait. I can't remember. It's not like typical type one or type two diabetes. It actually,

it does have to do with your insulin and your blood

sugar, but it revolves around your placenta. So if you get gestational diabetes, there's typically,

I shouldn't say typically, but like more often than not, they say just manage it with your diet,

you know, eat low carb, keep your blood sugar down. I think sometimes they use insulin, but the bottom line is that if you have it, it's connected to your, again, your placenta. And then when you give birth, you don't have it anymore because you don't have a placenta after you give birth because it slips right out of you. It's the weirdest thing ever. You birth your baby. Do you guys know this? You birth your baby and then you birth your placenta because it's connected to the cord.

It's so crazy. Anyway. And then the third thing that comes up with extreme thirst in pregnancy is that you have gestational diabetes insipidus, which I did get a couple of messages about when I was talking about how much.

Sorry, sometimes it hits me that I'm talking about something so boring. Let me just rush through this. Okay, maybe it's educational to you guys. I did get a couple messages of people being like, girl, look into insipitous. I brought it up to my midwife. I looked up to symptoms. It's like way beyond what I'm experiencing. I mean, that is like chugging, chugging, chugging water all day, cannot satiate it, peeing gallons at a time. Like, if you do have those symptoms, like, if you cannot quench your thirst, if your pee is completely clear, like, that's when you got to go look into it. But because of it, and I had been taking my blood sugar, like Like I've worn a glucose monitor. I take my blood

sugar in the morning. I'm like, it's a little high. Like, I might have this. So going into my

glucose test, I was very nervous. I also want to publicly apologize because a very, very nice

girl came up to me when I was waiting at the hospital. You drink this drink that's pure dextrose
