  1. At the third trimester, definitely. Before that if there are complications that make it difficult to get around.

    I remember my mother telling me that my grandmother was pretty much confined to her bed for a lot of her pregnancy while my uncle was in the womb.

  2. If they let obesity count as a disability, then why not big bellies full of babies? Does it really matter if they got there orally or vaginally? (I’m picturing Florida Karen as Fat Bastard in a mobility scooter, chasing prego’s through the parking lot trying to eat babies).
