At the supermarket, in addition to the "Handicapped" spots, they have parking reserved for "Customers with Infants". Do you think they should also have spots marked for pregnant women?

They do have one at my supermarket. "expectant mothers parking"
-
Actually there are a lot of stores in my area (not all, but quite a few) that DO have expectant mother parking spots.
-
They do in many shopping centers or wholesale clubs. However I must say when I was waddling pregnant, I parked just like everybody else....and I lived
-
I think its one in the same, technically you are with an infant right?
-
Handicapped spots, I have no problem with. That is not a choice. Being pregnant or having kids is almost always a choice.
-
They do have those where I live.
-
Some places do, but,that is such a debatable subject 'cause on one hand, pregnant women are encouraged to walk as much as possible, then on the other hand the pregnant person could have a high risk pregnancy & are encouraged not to overdo it. But, I've had 2 pregnancies & I understand the uncomfortable feeling that comes with creating a new life ;) ........

I think that would be a very good idea. Being a male I've never experienced the 'joy' of carrying around another human inside of me, but if these spots are there for people that have difficulty getting around, I'd vote yes.
-
Well the Spots we have where i live (calgary, alberta) are for 'expectant mothers and mothers with small children'

OMG! Pregnant women aren't ill, or suffering from some condition that makes them unable to W a l k. Once you are out of the car, the hard part is over. And besides, most pregnant women don't get nearly enough exercise. I think that is kinda ridiculous. ( I am a mother of 2, and was glad I did stay active during pregnancy.)

Hmmm. I do believe that there should not be extra spots exclusively for expecting mothers. But I am all for women's rights.If not already, I do believe that pregnant women should have the right to get a handicap permit from first trimester of pregnancy until a year after birth. I can't tell you how many times I've drove through Walmart seeing a plethora of unused handicap parking spaces and pregnant women walking from the back of the parking lot. All whilst sring break traffic whizzing in and out of lanes.

What about men with erections and the inebriated? Morbidly obese should park in the south forty so they can walk.
-
No. It's crazy! Enough of this!
-
I've seen a parking lot with that feature. Haven't shopped there though. too far from my home.
-
Just saying some arent as lucky as you to have an easy going pregnancy.
-
Those spots already exist
-
i'd just use the parent and child spaces.you are with child after all.
