not to be mean, but its "pregnant" and "whose" because i didnt know what you meant initially.
it's pregneat, a term coined by the pregsafe website, basically means if you aren't easily categorized as being a woman who's pregnant
gee… i wonder how about people who abuse such badges? but at least now, its less socially awkward eh? "Oh, you are not wearing a badge, so you are just 'big boned', so i'm not going to ask you about which trimester. "
I'm pregnant…. with food's baby.
great for people with maiesiophilia.
Awesome deal dude!!! I used to pay shitloads for these badges!!!
+ve thanks to this comment
So, the rules have changed again? A year or two ago, it got so you didn't dare ask a woman if she is expecting, and heaven forbid you offer your seat on the bus to someone who looked a little — er — rounded, for fear of being slapped. Now they want to wear badges and advertise? shakes head
this will probably be like those baby on board signs on cars. useful at first, but after a few weeks people just ignore them.
it also probably works well over in Japan, as they are a polite society and don't have the bogans on public transport we have here (in Melbourne at least).
The bogans get "I'm pregnant and don't know who the father is but your taxes will pay for 18 years of raising the next bogan. Now move!" ;-)
I've never understood those signs, do you get special car parking rights or priority at roundabouts?
If you're involved in a car crash, people instantly know there is a baby in there somewhere (assuming the sign is visible).
Of course, I would suspect most parents would not remove the sign when they are driving without the bub.
from what i've observed, it allows the driver to drive like an arse and expect everyone to get out of their way ;)
They have been using this in Japan for years but as bigheadache said, it hasnt really got into trend yet, but at least someone is starting an awareness of it.
Ordered one for my wife. Thanks. :)
In Japan they have Grey seats special area for Pregnant/old/disabled/with children etc.
I have given up my seat in the normal area to old people * so it does not always work*.
Pregnant Woman take Responsibility if you need a seat ASK .
Excuse Me I am Pregnant, could I please sit down, Thank you.
You are trying to pass on your Responsibility to others* you want us to look for a tiny bag which could be anywhere on your body in crowded public transport.

Just Ask!
Still waiting for the im not pregnant i am fat badge to come out
Hmmm This could be a good pick-up line…just hand over the badge to a fine looking chick…
You should do that and report back with a reasonable sample size and the results…
No doubt the fatties will abuse this one
No longer will I accidentally give my seat to morbidly obese women in fear there is a child tucked away somewhere in there! And yes this has happened many times, stupid Melbourne bogans…
I prefer waiting for the one which has a LED display that tells people how many months pregnant one is. And then flashes just before the baby is due and calls an ambulance….
my partner is pregnant. and in both our opinions, if you arent big enough to be showing you arent big enough to need to take another persons seat. it's only in the final trimester where being pregnant actually does require physical considerations. People who need a badge to tell people they are pregnant are just using their situation to their advantage. Mind you, I dont need to see a badge on a lady to offer her my seat- thats just good manners.
and more to the point, how is this a 'bargain'?
are these badges normally sold for hundreds of dollars or something?not a bargain but a "freebie"
Please read the guildlines on voting. What you do not find useful is not grounds to vote negative.
As they said, it's free. How can you possibly find something negative to say about a freebie.
can you please please pleaseeeeeeeee do a badge 'I AM A STUPID MALE'
Yes i beleive it comes free with the Pregnancy badge , like a kit :)
Why exactly would a woman that is not showing need to sit down? I understand that when a woman becomes larger it can be uncomfortable and they need to sit. But am I missing something? Why do they need to sit just because they are pregnant?
I hope it's waterproof as one should never take it off, even in the shower. You might feint in the shower and then the ambulance knows you are pregnant.
I'll give you a pos, even though you spelt faint wrong.
there was a hole in my envelope and i think the badge fell out - only got flyers. FAIL! lol
Maybe a pregnant AustPost worker got it ;-)
can i have one? im a guy…they call me arnold..ive starred in such movies as twins and predator too
