Pregnant after a Loss

My first AW! Not PgAL related really.

I was going to get my free prenatal Rx filled at Meijer's last week when I was pulled over. A police officer ran my plate and said one of the registered owners had an expired driver's license. It was me! Apparently my license expired on my birthday two months ago and I never did anything about it. Also, I didn't have a current insurance card on me.
So I was arrested. He came up to my car and said, I'm not going to tow you, but you have to go to the station. I said, what do I do with my son? He said, I didn't realize you had a child in the car. We'll have another officer drive him to the station. I will make sure your son doesn't see you get handcuffed.
That's when I lost it and started ugly crying. He said, it's no big deal. Don't get all worked up. I said, I'm seven and a half months pregnant, I can't help it. He said, you're pregnant? His powers of observation were somewhat lacking in my opinion. He didn't handcuff me though.
I had to go to the station and pay 200 bond and bring my son's car seat and it was a pain in the ass. It is pretty low on my proudest moments of being a mom list. I'm 37 and this was my first arrest. I decided to be super nice to the officer because even though he most likely had some discretion, he was just doing his job. It was raining/sleeting and as I was getting into his police SUV, I said to him (mostly just to make him feel bad) I'm sorry this is taking me a while -- not only am I really pregnant, but I also only have one leg and I am super scared of falling.
I don't know if he cared in any way, but it made me feel better.
@tlc35 I realize how awful and scary going to the DMV must be for you, but please go get your smog checked and address updated. It's really sucks how many triggers exist AL. ((Hugs))

@kaylam714 I was in and out of the police station. If I had to spend the night in jail I would have snitched on everyone - even made stuff up - just to get out of there! I'm so sorry that happened to you!

That's nuts! I do understand he was doing his job, but I would expected him to go about things a little differently. Maybe escort you to the police station instead of separate you from DS. I don't know. I wouldn't of been so nice. Though I know that wouldn't of gotten me anywhere.
Glad all turned out well! Crazy!

I think if the officer noticed my son or my Jabba the Hut belly he would have let my friend pick me up in the parking lot. It is starting to be somewhat funny to me, so that's good. My son totally sold me out @NoeliaV he was laughing and hugging the officer when they came into the station.

I think the moral of the story is that we all should by liquor more often. If your license had been discovered at a bar or liquor store you could have avoided being arrested. I was denied entry to a bar shortly after my 25th birthday when I hadn't realized my license was expired. Way better than being arrested.
