Disabled parking for pregnancy?

She's right.

Pregnancy is not an illness either.
There are some women who can have a dangerous health issue late in the third trimester.
For everyone else, perhaps you should not be having a baby if a pregnancy is such a risk.

For everyone else, walking is good during a pregnancy

Walking is actually not good for everyone in pregnancy. Hyperemesis gravidarium, which is not unique to the third trimester, results in low blood sugar, and low blood pressure, increasing and fall risks.

I granted an accommodation in my workplace for a subordinate having hyper mobility issues of pregnancy, also included preferential parking.

I’m really sorry that you to some women being treated better than you were, but there is absolutely no reason that those changes in mobility and ability during pregnancy not be accommodated.

No, its not.

And that is why disabled placards are granted by doctors, and not petty misogynist on the Internet.

No, its not.

0.3% to 3% is edge case.

American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG): In Practice Bulletin No. 189, (Explicitly states that the incidence of HG is approximately 0.3% to 3%); StatPearls (National Center for Biotechnology Information): Hyperemesis Gravidarum review published in 2025 confirms that while general nausea and vomiting (NVP) affects 50% to 80% of pregnancies, HG occurs in roughly 0.3% to 3% globally; The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG): Guidelines from the RCOG similarly report that HG can affect up to 3 in 100 (3%) pregnant individuals

It's one of many uncommon conditions deserving of disabled placards.

Walking is good during a pregnancy for everyone, whose doctor believes it is in their instance and bad for everyone whose doctor says it isn’t, whether it’s hyperemesis, hypertension, hyper-mobility or any of a number of other common pregnancy related issues.

And that is why decisions about who gets disabled placards are made by doctors, and not petty misogynists on the Internet.

You are responding to "DP". I never suggested anything that could be remotely construed as suggesting 'medical decisions should be made by petty misogynists on the Internet'. No fair minded reader would conclude otherwise.

You’re confused. You ^are^ the petty misogynist on the internet which is why your sweeping and fairly ignorant statements about what deserves medical accommodation and what is “good for” pregnant women gets no place in what a doctor decides.
