Blood Sugar And Pregnancy  
Podcast: The OrganiMama Podcast
Published On: Wed Apr 22 2026
Description: In this episode, Kristen breaks down a topic that doesn’t get nearly enough attention in pregnancy conversations: blood sugar regulation and its direct impact on baby’s growth.She explains how the placenta naturally increases insulin resistance as pregnancy progresses—a normal biological shift that, when unsupported, can lead to chronically elevated blood sugar levels. Kristen connects the dots between this hormonal change and larger babies, challenging the idea that size is simply genetic or out of your control.She walks listeners through how blood sugar imbalances develop, why they matter beyond a gestational diabetes diagnosis, and how they can influence both mom’s and baby’s outcomes. Most importantly, she shares practical, non-restrictive ways to support balanced blood sugar during pregnancy—focusing on nourishment, not fear.Snag a copy of any of the OrganiMama guides 20% off with code PODCAST. My favorite blue light blocking glasses from Bon Charge.
