When I was finishing up my last semester of college I was also in my 3rd trimester of pregnancy...and it was Winter...in MI. I applied for a special disabled sign for my car so that I could park closer to the campus buildings, instead of walking a quarter mile or more on poorly cleared, icy pathways from the student parking lots to the classroom buildings. I had several near falls that really terrified me. Pregnant women don't have the best balance with all that weight so unevenly distributed...add ice into the mix and those trips to and from my classes always caused me a good deal of stress.

Even so, the school still required that I present a doctor's note...and my doctor wasn't all that eager to present it (he was a major a$$...biggest mistake I ever made was having that guy handle my pregnancy. Long story, but he's no longer practicing, if that says anything). I only needed this pass for a few weeks in December, but it really brought major peace of mind.
