Being pregnant is not a disability.

Some stores have spots for new and expectant mothers.

Yes, if they NEED it, like for those who get horrible hip/back pains when walking. However, just simply because you're pregnant? No.

If you have a medical reason go through your dr and get a temporary handicap parking pass. Just because you are pregnant doesn't mean you get to take spots from people who actually really need them.

No pregnancy is not a disability and if your pregnancy is so horrible that you feel the need to park there, talk to your doctor and get a temporary tag to do so. But just being pregnant in general doesn't qualify you, you need extenuating circumstances.

No. It doesn't work that way. Besides I think walking from where you're parked to the store is a great way to excercise during your pregnancy. If there was something wrong during your pregnancy, I'm pretty sure you'd be in bed rest.

In Wisconsin there are no stores, that I have been to, that have Expectant Mother parking except Babies R Us. Granted, being pregnant is not a disability, but there are women, like myself, who have high risk pregnancies. Would your argument then change to, "yes, then it's acceptable for a handicap spot"? I'm just curious. I have two heart conditions and one of them causes fainting if standing too long. My blood pressure drops and I'm out cold. And seeing as, when women are pregnant, you have a lower Blood Pressure, would this be an exception?

Typical safe pregnancies, no. I am not disabled or handicapped. I got into an argument with my husband because I wanted him to park farther away at the mall the other day to help get my Fitbit steps in. Lol I'm 38 weeks. If you have crippling pain or health conditions brought on or made worse by pregnancy than you should get a temp parking pass and take advantage of it. A healthy pregnancy is not an excuse to be lazy.

Only if they are actually handicap or pregnancy causes a temporary handicap. But the expectant mother/new family parking is awesome and I wish more places offered that.

Should women be able to use handicap parking during pregnancy?
