I think once I have a toddler I'll be wishing there was a "for parents with kids under the age of 5" spot :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-296729 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 16:58:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 296729@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Use it all the time at Target! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-296705 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 16:30:09 +0000 Andrea 296705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: tell the men to get outta there!!

Half useless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-296630 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 14:19:07 +0000 Andrea 296630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: People are so ridiculous! I can't believe they yelled at you from their car. It's not like pregnant ladies have a scarlet letter on them. As you said, you may have no belly but that is when you might be feeling the worst. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-296624 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 14:11:24 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 296624@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never got to use one. I hardly showed until after 24-28 weeks. When you are so sick and need it most is weeks 8-15, but at that point no one knows you are knocked up.</p> <p>A local grocery store had one that I tried to use and a couple drove up and yelled at me because they thought I wasn't pregnant. This woman was like 38 weeks... so I was scared to even try it after that. And of course by the time I was 38 weeks, I just wanted to walk that baby right out... so I parked as far away as possible! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-296618 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 14:07:55 +0000 jedeve 296618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've never seen one in Montana! I don't know if I'd feel the need to use them yet though; I still tend to park far away for the added exercise benefit. I'm sure at 9 months I'll change my tune! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-296603 Sat, 15 Sep 2012 13:49:07 +0000 Andrea 296603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BabyBoecksMom: maybe they are not showing yet? Or do you see men parking there? LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-295641 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:27:45 +0000 JerricaBenton 295641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have them all over the place here, too but I never use them! I don't know what I am waiting for - to be bigger? I've only used one once because my mom was in the car and she forced me, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-295638 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 14:26:16 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 295638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes love them! We have them at Walmart and Costco and a few random places like the children's museum. Most they're great because it is a pain to get LO into the store now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-295585 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 13:47:03 +0000 kiddosc 295585@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used them at the mall while I was Christmas shopping last year, it was great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-295492 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 12:53:52 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 295492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have them at some of the grocery stores... but they're always taken up by people that aren't preggy! grrrr </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-295481 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 12:48:55 +0000 littlebug 295481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've only ever seen them at BRU. Our grocery store has "Parent with Child" parking, and I've considered using it, but figure I should save them for the people who are trying to put groceries and a car seat in their cars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-295374 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 12:06:18 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 295374@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They have them at Wegmans, our regional grocery store chain. They're frequently open, and about as close to the store as you can get. I ALWAYS use them -- figure I've only got 9 months to take advantage of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-295028 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 09:31:18 +0000 littlek 295028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never used them, but DH would use them when he was with me. He LOVED it. He would even get upset when people he thought weren't pregnant were parking in "our spot." He's silly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-295001 Fri, 14 Sep 2012 09:24:12 +0000 ladyfingers 295001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't use them because I don't feel like I'm big enough yet! I've only seen them at BRU, BBB, and one CVS near our house. Supposedly there's a Target with one (because I know a girl who uses them even though she's not pregnant, don't get me started) but I don't know where because none of my Target's have them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-294240 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:55:52 +0000 prettylizy 294240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have them all over the place here... BRU, grocery stores, walmart, the mall. They are for "Mom's with little ones and expectant mothers". I used one today because I was in a hurry to get in and out of the grocery store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-294232 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:53:38 +0000 wheres_c 294232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used one at BRU for the first time today! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-294091 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:18:49 +0000 erwoo 294091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them too! And not only for expectant moms but also for moms with infants. We have pregnancy parking at Babies R Us, infant parking at Wegmans and at a public garage in an area we frequent, and of course at Buy Buy Baby as well. Love it! They need to have it at more places than those that I mentioned. I frequently have both kids with me so it's helpful to be closer to the front of the store. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-294057 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:12:47 +0000 mrsjyw 294057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>just used it at buy buy baby and at kroger (grocery store)! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-294053 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 19:11:52 +0000 chopsuey 294053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>BRU and the mall! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-293986 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:47:48 +0000 matador84 293986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have United grocery stores here and they have expectant mother spots! along with little children...I can't remember how it's worded. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-293968 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:43:19 +0000 Andrea 293968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: why not?

I never took advantage should have though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-293940 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:31:47 +0000 Andrea 293940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: our grocery store does have one for parents with infants. It is usually occupied so it'll be hard to even take advantage of that when the time comes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-293939 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:30:28 +0000 mamabird 293939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Babies r us and target :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-love-using-the-expectant-moms-parking-spots#post-293935 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 18:29:45 +0000 MamaMoose 293935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: not that I've seen. The one place I really really wish they had them was the grocery store!! Preggy ladies are hungry and we don't want to walk far with our carts! </p>
