They don’t want their patients walking unnecessarily. Sorry that bothers so many of you…[/quote]

Bed rest means exactly that,--you are supposed to stay in bed except for bathroom use.  You are not supposed to be sitting which means you should not be driving.
So, why are you driving and walking around?  It bothers me that both you and your doctors are liars and you don't need bed rest and are screwing both your employer and the insurance company.[/quote]

I was driving and walking around because MFMs don’t make house calls with their ultrasound machines, nor does my OB attend my bedside. When I find a practice that does I will be happy to use them. Until then I will be parking as close to my healthcare providers as possible— at their request and with their support.

And the fact that it bothers you absolutely delights me.[/quote]

You are delighted that you are thought of as a liar and a cheat?    [/quote]

By you? Absolutely.

There are certain types of people— the kind of people who begrudge a pregnant woman on bedrest the ability to park 16 feet closer to the hospital door— who, if they are upset, you know you’re doing it right.

Stay mad my dear! [/quote]

If you lie and chest in one thing then you kue and chest in everything.  [/quote]

Perhaps, but if your doctor says you get a handicapped placard while you’re on bedrest, and you get a handicapped placard while you’re on bedrest…

…you’ve neither lied nor cheated. You make have kue’d or chested, but thats between you and your Chardonnay.[/quote]

Then stay in bed and rest and stop going to shopping malls for hours on end.[/quote]

It’s weird you think shopping malls contain MFM practices? Or that people spend much time at shopping malls these days? 
[/quote]

If the argument is that you need special parking to go to the MFM then why doesn't the Dr have dedicated spots for their patients? Aren't they all there for the same reason? Or is there a loading and unloading zone so patients can be dropped at the door while their driver parks? A disability permit seems unnecessary to be able to access this one location.[/quote]

So you’ve never been pregnant?

People go to MFM for tons of reasons that aren’t bed-rest related. Some people see an MFM once, some people see an MFM twice-weekly, and some people have to go even more often.

Pregnancy doesn’t come with a dedicated driver to take you to an appointment 2-5x week. Not everyone lives close enough to their MFM for Uber or Lyft 2-5x week to be cost effective, and when your partner is hanging onto all their sick leave for a forthcoming baby who may need extra care, it doesn’t make sense for them to take 4-6 hours of sick leave per week.

MFM is also in addition to, not instead of, your OB practice. It is in addition to, not instead of, other medical care you may need like lab work and vaccinations.

You need to get over this idea that women are getting away with something.[/quote]

I've had 3 kids. Give me a break. But someone mentioned the mall and the response was "No I just need to go to the Dr!" Which is clearly not true or else why the pushback?[/quote]

The person who mentioned the mall was the misogynist troll living under this bridge who said women with handicap placards were “wandering the mall for hours on end”. My response, as someone who both had a handicap placard and hasn’t set foot in a mall since 2020 or so, is that that poster doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

And frankly, if you had three kids and never needed bedrest or high risk monitoring, rather than begrudge other women the ability to park near their doctors offices, maybe thank your lucky stars instead. [/quote]

So talk to your dr about your issues? Is your Dr denying you a handicapped permit? Who are you so angry with? This is how the system works. It doesn't need an overhaul where every woman over 20 weeks gets her placard.[/quote]

Honey. Read. I had a placard. [/quote]

Sweetie, then there is no problem. The system in place already works.[/quote]
