They already do. It's called MAT1B, and its main purpose is to ensure they get free prescriptions and dental treatment. This proposed scheme would presumably work as a simple extension of that already well-tested system.

If you're that heavily pregant that you can't walk across the supermarket carpark, let alone walk around the supermarket itself, or you're that big you can't get in or out of the car - then maybe you shouldn't be out shopping.
God knows what the older generation think, my mum pregnant and with a toddler and a 6yr old would get the bus, and carry the weekly shop.

I suspect in that case that you don't have any kids, or at the very least that any children you do have were the result of blessedly straightforward pregnancies.
I really can't be bothered rebutting your ignorant nonsense at any length - all I will do is post a link that explains a particularly nasty late-pregnancy condition called
Pubis Smphasis Dysfunction (or Pelvic Girdle Pain), and request that you read and understand the implications of it before spouting off any further on this subject.
Mrs T, incidentally, suffered with this during two of her three pregnancies, and in both cases for several months afterwards. And sometimes family life means you still have to do the shopping, even when it really, really hurts.

Mrs T has offered to tie your ankles to a pair of HGVs, each of which is travelling in opposite directions, and then arrange for a donkey to kick you in the nads, the better to help you understand what PGP feels like.
