Most people, when asked whether they would let a pregnant woman pass in line, would answer yes. Still, not everyone respects this cultural custom, and pregnant women have to comply with the so-called social anesthesia. A frequently cited counterargument is that “pregnancy is not a disease.” This is true, but it is an emergency that requires special treatment.
Does a pregnant woman have priority in the queue? In these places, pregnant women enter without waiting

Can a pregnant woman stand for a long time? The doctor explains why pregnant women should be admitted
Letting a pregnant woman pass in a store or giving up her seat in a public car is not only a matter of culture, but also of the discomfort she feels while standing. There are certain medical explanations related to this, which were discussed on Instagram by doctor Katarzyna Woźniak. The medic herself is currently pregnant for the third time, so the problem is no stranger to her.
In the video published on her profile, she described “3 pregnancy ailments that are rarely talked about” and which are troublesome in this condition. The last one concerns standing for long periods of time, which makes pregnant women feel weak quickly. – Standing is terribly problematic. When I walk, clean, exercise, I can do it, but when I stand, I immediately feel sick. Malicious people in the store would probably say: ‘Oh, she’s pregnant, she came shopping and she doesn’t have the strength to stand in the queue.’ Seriously. There is no strength and this is strictly medically justified, because there is no help from the so-called muscle pump, which makes the blood return more easily to the heart and does not stagnate in the veins – explains the doctor.
