Is there a pregnancy policy? Is there a regulation that goes into more specifics?

I was asked by my supervisor to print off the new policy for pregnancy so we could go over it. However I thought different regulation s actually covered specifics. Am I missing soemthing here? I would rather not look incompetent to my first line. Thanks for the help y’all.

What? Would you please restate your main question? It's unclear what you are asking.

Yeah what do you mean a pregnancy policy on what? On leave, on taking an APFT, on being put on profile, for the proper wear of maternity uniform? You have to be more specific because there will be different policies on different things.

What do you mean? Like don't get pregnant? You can only be pregnant during the Fall???? The Army doesn't regulate your reproductive rights? We don't live in the Soviet Union. Get pregnant if you want to. Once your pregnant, then lots of things will change in regards to your duty status while you are pregnant.

There's no pregnancy policy but there are regulations that covers pregnant soldiers. Your supervisor wants you to print off every regulation or post policy on pregnancy?

I'm not aware of any new policy. They changed maternity leave a few years ago. That's all I'm aware of.

Are you pregnant? Why do they want you to know pregnancy policy if no? Do you have a pregnant soldier?

AR 600-9, AR 40-501,
TG 255A U.S. Army Pregnancy Postpartum Physical Training Program,
◾AR 40-501, 7-9 and 7-10
◾AR 350-1, Appendix F-5 e & f (Dec 2017)
◾FM 7-22, chapter 4.21-4.25

I did all that with Google. That's how you find answers and then if you can't find them - you ask as well.

If you do have further questions, I have a 4 year old so I've been through being a pregnant soldier.
