@mrsbaker89 I’m a police officer too! I’m already struggling with trying to figure out how to navigate my first pregnancy and still working the road. We should chat some time!
@mrsbaker89@mfd2022 *lurking from April* Me three! Please tell me what I am supposed to do with my duty belt. I am now at the loosest possible setting and even if I get a bigger size I'm not quite sure where it's supposed to go from here.
@mfd2022@dinomeetsjedi So it just depends on what your department will allow. Some see it as a liability to have pregnant officers on the street. We all have our own comfort levels so I say work it until you that point and then go light duty. The second trimester i’m going light duty with a desk job.
I was feeling off all week, tested on Tuesday or Wednesday knowing it was too soon, ate a bunch of pizza for dinner last night and felt a little queasy so I took another test. After the shock of getting a light but definitely positive test DH ran out for a digital to confirm and here we are!
Other children/pets?

I have to confess I’ve been reading this board for a while but not posting. I think I have t been letting myself recognize the reality or get excited just yet. But I’m looking forward to supporting each other here! ❤️
@romeoandjuliet146 so exciting! I’m estimating mine, but since it was IVF maybe that date will be updated. Can’t wait for ultrasound. It was going to be tomorrow, but the husband couldn’t make it. I almost just left him behind for an earlier peak, but I’m glad we will be doing it together, even if I have to wait a few extra days. Hope yours goes well on the 18th!!
@knottie and @ermsmcg just an FYI that you can have both tuna and deli meat. Tuna is just a limited quantity (my OB said no more than 1 can a week) and you can heat up the deli meat before eating it. It’s definitely not the same as cold cuts, but it’s better than nothing 😆
How’d you find out? Took a pregnancy test the day I was supposed to get my period

@Samanthabs875 yes!! Last pregnancy I remember smelling my BO so bad first trimester. It got bette or I just started wearing thicker shirts ahha! Mine was bad because I started using natural deodorant that made it worse.
How’d you find out? I had a BFP on Sunday the 10th. I didn't think it'd actually happen so I didn't test until I was late
