Pregnacy Parking Spot

Nancy Drew — Wed, 09 Apr 2014 18:20:46 GMT

This was discussed on GMA. Are those spots for a women in any month or just the last 3 months? Also why are there no cancer parking spots, hemoroids or just out of surgery spots? any thoughts?

We have what are called expectant mother and little old men and ladies parking spots. No one seems to mind. Who cares?

The fact is that the more a pregnant woman walks the better, those spots are nothing but pandering to these women. What they should have are spots where a parent with 3+ kids can park and then a special cart she can use to corral them all waiting for her at that spot.

Oh, great, now there's going to be an argument, er, ah, discussion about who should get special parking privileges.

They'd be labeled PITA spaces.

My local Whole Foods has a couple of pregnancy spots. I thought it was a nice idea.

All I care about is that someone who needs them more than I do should park there- I can walk, it doesn't bother me-

I do as well.

Personally, I don't mind it when other people who might need a bit more help get it. I thank my stars that I am healthy enough to park further away and walk it. But there might come a day when I need to use those spaces and I hope that others don't begrudge me.

I think they should be labeled "For the Disabled." Most pregnant women don't need it any more than someone who's gone through a tough day at work. However, there are many, young/old, married/single, who are disabled by illness or injury who could really use a shorter walk in.

Yes, me too! And like biancardi, I hope people won't get cranky about my special parking if/when I need it. Hopefully, I won't be driving any more by then anyway.

Actually, the PITA spaces would be fitting for a lot of people.

Really. Talk about fighting or waiting for a space to open.

Seriously it seems like the issue is how do they decide who to provide special parking for?

I can walk, doesn't bother me....but it is still curious to me how they decide who merits them.

Utterly ridiculous to have a spot for women who are preggers.
