Being pregnant, struggling with more than symptoms

Pregnant women issues

Being Pregnant

There's more to being pregnant than the symptoms. The world just isn't geared up to cope with someone who is pregnant. eg. restaurants, car parks and clothing etc.



Pregnancy Issies: Preganant women have to deal with issues that many people don't even consider. Other drivers, insults, frumpy fashion and the food we can or can't eat.

04-8-2008Maz : please tell me you ARE joking? Pregnant women parking spaces? Now I have really heard it all. How about Over 50's parking spaces? or Bad back parking spaces? God, the world has well and truly gone completely and utterly bonkers.Nikki

03-8-2008Wonderful, pleasant and sapient women turn into complete nincompoops and self centred rude b-words when they are pregnant. I have seen this happen often. I just wait until it is over, forget the rudeness. Then I wait some years longer until they have passed the phase when they think their child is t...moreSaskia
17-7-2008I am amazed that so many people have left such negative comments. Perhaps they have forgotten what it was like being pregnant, or that every pregnancy is different and sometimes harder than others. Or maybe they are simply men who have no experiance to be leaving their opinion. Regardless, I agree w...moreD

04-6-2008You are an asshole who should never be allowed to have kids. You would be a rubbish parent because you think the whole world revolves around you. I suppose you think that we should all pay for these kids of your too. There are people with terminal illnesses out there and you are moaning cause you...moreGet in the real world.
28-1-2008What special privledges come for us women who cannot ever have children? Your pregnant! It only lasts 9 months! Some of us would love to walk in your shoes, who can't. Stop being selfish and get a clue.Aislinn
15-1-2008Re: the car signs, you apparently don't know that they're actually to alert firemen that there was a baby in the car whose car seat may have been thrown out of the vehicle in the event of a crash - not to ask other drivers to be "more patient and careful". You really must be jokin...moreGlasgow

01-1-2008You're pregnant, not dying of cancer! There are people out there who can't even get out of bed and live life. Think yourself lucky - you're having a baby. The discomfort will be more than worth it, I'm sure.Lisa
11-12-2007Speaking as someone who is 5 months pregnant I really disagree with this post. I'm a very capable, independant lady and I can't stand being mollycoddled and pandered to and that certainly hasn't changed just because 'I'm pregnant'. Although I certainly don't object to bei...moreGreen_Eyez
24-11-2007I too thought this was a joke gripe. You're pregnant, not ill!! Why on earth should pregnant women get everything handed to them on a silver platter!!! You're still capable of opening doors and walking a few extra metres to the shop! My local Asda has "pregnant women" spaces. I alw...moreMaz
