Petition Make pregnant women eligible for a temporary Blue Badge
Pregnant woman should be eligible for a temporary Blue Badge for parking when they reach the second trimester until 2 months after giving birth.
More details
Many pregnant woman deal with extremely difficult physical symptoms from the second trimester onwards. If someone had the same mobility restrictions without being pregnant they could be classed as disabled and provided with a Blue Badge. Some pregnant woman in the third trimester can’t walk for long distances - almost a textbook reason why disabled parking spaces exist.
