I used those at one of the local grocery stores and also at the ob/gyn's office!Discovering the Me in Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00578147574815961841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038703539030455261.post-15870396672674330722011-01-25T12:49:07.666-05:002011-01-25T12:49:07.666-05:00I think it's fantastic. I suffered from symphy...I think it's fantastic. I suffered from symphysis pubis dysfunction during my last pregnancy. I'm not a whiner by nature, but I carried twins until just 6 days shy of their due date and I was up and walking around, taking care of my 2 year old, every day until their their birth. A parking space closer to the front of the post office or the grocery store certainly would have made my life easier. <br /><br />At 36 weeks my employer began letting me park in the visitor spaces closer to the building I worked in, rather than having to park way out in the back lot and trek in. I didn't feel like I was being coddled, I felt like I was being treated courteously by fellow human beings who noticed I was struggling, physically, on a daily basis. If women don't feel they need it, they shouldn't use it, but I would like to see this same kind of kindness extended to pregnant women on a wider basis.Irishmarmaladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03692439053358433273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4038703539030455261.post-61901814275293542812011-01-25T11:42:25.805-05:002011-01-25T11:42:25.805-05:00When I was expecting my children we lived in Germa...When I was expecting my children we lived in Germany. On the military base there were a couple of spots for pregnant women. The one I really liked was the one in front of the post office. When you are pregnant, have a toddler, and are carrying a big box it was wonderful to have that spot. At the end of my second pregnancy when I had a 2 year old it sometimes seemed that I was just as handicapped as my grandmother with her special parking pass. I don't think they should be handed out to every expecting mom, but in certain situations it would be nice if the doctor could hand out a pass.Lisannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07852780249158829281noreply@blogger.com
