This happens nearly every time I go at my OB appointments. There is a hospital,and right next door is my building but you park at the ER or have valet park you,but I can't stand someone else in my car or waiting for it to get pulled back around, so I park myself. While I understand MOST people parking in that area are going to the ER or visiting someone there, I feel like you have to TRY to park as horribly as some of these people. The goal is to get INSIDE the two white lines, not ON them, or OVER them. Just do it right the first time and then everyone can park.
And they are small spots too, so I someone with a large SUV or truck is parked there you are pretty much out of luck.
I'm in the US, and the only place I've ever seen with expecantant mother parking is babysrus. Its almost worth the price now!
