Well, I don't see a pregnant woman as being handicapped anymore than pregnancy being categorized as a medical condition. It's a temporary natural condition and not as if any woman will be appreciating the closer parking more than a few months if that, more likely a matter of weeks, even days.

What causes women to be so hard on other women to the point of unnecessarily forcing a hardship on them? I don't even want to understand that level of cold heartedness.

I agree wholeheartedly with your post, Free2be. This isn't a constant condition (well, unless you are the Dugger women).

I would hope that women would be more sympathetic towards each other, but I guess not. The claws come out and then it becomes - well, 1/2 of the country has a bladder problem too so why do pregnant women get the perks?

it sounds like sour grapes to me.

They also have mothers with infants spaces

it is called compassion to help a mom who is by herself, struggling with her newborn

Maybe a wider space for being able to open doors fully to access car seats?

Question: If you are in a bad way regardless of the circumstances, and need relief from a walk across a parking lot into a store -- if they have motorized carts, could you use your cell phone upon arrival to call for someone to bring you one of those carts out to your car?

Just a curious thought.

I bet they would at Wegmans.

So much angst over parking spots

This place scares me sometimes.

Hardship?

Because some women tend to want to use their gender when its convenient for them-

I am woman hear me roar -but please save me a parking space..I'm pregnant or have a child...

A lady in my father's assisted-living facility does this when shopping at Costco. They also help her load her purchases into her vehicle and return the motorized cart to the store.

They all look the same width to me-as are the handicapped spaces....
