Closed Allow pregnant women to use staff toilets if a customer toilet is not available.

Closed on

The increased need to go to the toilet is an unavoidable symptom of pregnancy. When out in public, this sudden urge can lead to an embarrassing rejection from staff in many shops who refuse to allow a pregnant lady to use their staff toilets forcing them to walk around in the hope of finding one.

Supermarkets, clothes shops and coffee shops have been known to not allow pregnant women access to their staff toilets when there is no customer toilet available.
