You're pregnant, not handicapped!

[Anonymous]

Why do people say this? Ok, yes I know you cant compare being pregnant to being handicapped but the idea that pregnancy shouldnt slow you down or you shouldnt complain during it kind of bugs me. I know there are women who have great pregnancies with no morning, or in my case all day, sickness. Women who dont have any kind of pain up until labor, or dont feel like they havent slept in 3 yrs because they are so tired. And I know not all pregnancies are the same. I was one of the lucky ones with my first pregnancy, but this time around I feel awful. Like I should litterally be able to file for disability and stay home puking my brains out all day.

I think it's because some women milk it. Just like everything else a few bad apples spoils the bunch.

Some women just do too much. I had a relatively easy pregnancy with dd. A co worker was pregnant at the same time and made sure to tell me every single ache and pain she had. It's annoying.

Yes you can. Pregnancy is a life handicap lol.

At one point law makers looked into giving pregnant women past 5 months (earlier in certain cases) temporary  handicap parking privilges.

If i cant tie my shoes, I'm handicapped.

Idk. My back killed me during pregnancy so much that I used the motorized shopping scooters when I went to Walmart.

I was told to let people who need them use them

My 2nd pregnancy was a lot more difficult than my first too but I know people who had it a lot worse than I did. Once I got zofran and prilosec I was at least able to somewhat function. Although ms lasted pretty much the whole pregnancy.

I have said that when a pregnant women refuses to clean, cook, or even play with her kids. I have a friend that was like that while pregnant. She used it as an excuse to do nothing.
