no, because a disability is a way in which the body behaves not medically typically, and the most common pregnancy symptoms are medically typical. but i agree that more accommodations should be made for pregnant people.

I’m not sure if it’s considered a disability but there are certain protections you have. It is similar as we cannot be discriminated against. On a side notelittle sister is special needs and gave me her handicap tag so I don’t have to trek across campus when I park soo
