mommy_loves_chase wrote: Me and my B/F went to Meijers yesterday and as we were pulling thru the parking lot i saw a sign and thought that they had put up and expecting mother parking space, NO!!!! saywha.gif there put one there for Motorcycle parking!!! ok im sorry but i think being Pg comes way before parking a bike. I decided that i was going to run in and just ask why they dont have any(after i had to walk from the very very back of the lot) breakcomp.gif people were hitting the bikes or they were falling over when the asfault got hot and the bikers were complaining!! was what i was told . does anyone else thing this is a dumb idea or am i being a complete nut? silly.gif

luvbug00 replied: How stuiped is that!! we have pregnancy/infant parking here everywhere. If they don't want to ruin their bike then they shouldn't take it out in conditons like that then.!! mad.gif

gr33n3y3z replied: I've never seen that one before but I can understand why But I think they should also have one for expecting mothers also


But I have seen expecting mother parking spaces only in one store in our area.

moped replied: They have lots of the expectant mother and preggo parking here - that is silly.................sorry!

MissyKay2005 replied: I think that is dumb but I am sure my husband and I would differ on that casue he loves his bikes...lol We only have a few stores around here that have expectant mother parking and it is nice to have and think they should have it at all stores not just a few cool.gif

mckayleesmom replied: I could see motorcycle only parking,,,,but in the back....if they are riding a motorcycle...they can walk. Also,,,your lucky....here on post...the first 20 spaces are all reserved for a bunch of stuff I find rediculous....not handicapp...but they have 15 min parking on a bunch of them....they some other ones and the one I laugh about is HOUSING MAYOR...which is the person in charge of your housing area......The last time I checked...mine could walk. I always end up at the end of the parking lot. Im going to ask them to put in close spaces for mothers with small children.

mommytoconnor replied: The only place I've ever seen expectant mother parking is at Babies R Us. They have tons of van parking though. I agree with ya, I think pregnant women should come before motorcycles or vans. wacko.gif

TANNER'S MOM replied: I have never in my life heard of " expectant" mother parking...

I always had to walk...

mammag replied: I guess I can kind of understand the bike thing, they spend a lot of money on those and I have seen some that people have broken their mirrors or visors on. I do agree though that they should have pg parking but I probably wouldn't have used it because I never thought it was that tough being pregnant that I couldn't walk. I did use it once while I was pg when I went to Babies R Us but that was because I had injured my foot and was walking with a crazy shoe and limping around.



jacobsmama replied: We have both here motorcylce and pregnant spots or parent with small children. I think they are all good Ideas. But I agree with you they should have pregnant mother spots!!! I'm glad you went in and told them about it....maybe you should write a letter to them so that they can get the spots just like the motorcylcers did! hah tongue.gif

Jamielou replied: the only places here that have pg parking is target and toys r us but i have never seen motorcycle parking (yet)...

MomToJade&Jordan replied:
Yup we have that too. The Comissary and the BX have prime parking for Generals and other high-ranking individuals, but no expectant mother parking. These spaces are empty half the time. I have no problem with walking a few extra feet if I have to. It has been hot though so I try to run my errands later in the day.

MyBlueEyedBabies replied: It looks like I will be in the minority but... I totally see the use of motorcycle spots, they can be much smaller so take up less room in the parking lot as opposed to motorcycles taking up car spots, and to keep them from parking on the sidewalk (where I frequently see them) which really annoys me. As for Expectant mother spots, I think they are absolutely ridiculous if there is something wrong in your pregnancy that doesn't allow you to walk you should have a handicap placard or not be going out to the stores. I was on bed rest with both pregnancies and I admit i did go out a couple times after weeks of going crazy but I still never used the expectant mother parking spots, nor would I have. Walking 2 or 20 extra spots is exercise and that is something recomended, especially for pregnant women.
