Just interested to know mn opinions. I think this might be a feisty thread!

Personally, I dont think she had a right to use that space and the fine should be witheld.

Whilst I think it would have been a decent thing to do to let her off as she's clearly close to her due date, (and I suspect a female attendant with children may well have been more understanding and done so - I think I would have ) I think its unfair to suggest the warden was not being reasonable as they were adhering to the law in this particular situation.

I understand its difficult to get out of a car when you're pregant (I almost got wedged myself today in a normal spot when some noggin parked to close to the driver side - I had to squeeze my bump through the gap - poor baby) and you really could do with more room than a normal space allows, however its even more difficult to try to get a child out of its car seat (or in some cases, get the car seat out with child in it) and these spaces are for this purpose only. There are never enough of them.

Opinions pls

I love Parent & Child spaces just get annoyed at people who use them without children in tow. I would make an exception for a pregnant lady, however, technically she does have a chid with her and mght need the extra room.
