| I don't think for social security purposes that pregnancy is considered a disability. I know that for disability you have to have a condition that makes you totally disabled and unable to work, I would not think that pregnancy would fall into this definition. I can not imagine the social security administration taking on this responsibilty. I can not imagine the vast number that would apply. And hell by the time they would approve it, your kid would be walking at the least. It is a long process. |

| Yes I agree. Social security is one of the longest processes there is. It can be years before even getting an approval. I do not feel even high risk preganacies would qualify for social security. I had a sister who had a very high risk pregnancy with alot of complications about mid way through. She looked into different sources to help with her income and was turned away by almost all. One good side of it all is the preganancy does not last long and the person could be readyt for work soon after birth. You are also correct about the numbers being large if social security made this available. Most pregnancies are not a walk in the park so the Social security waiting lines would be extra long. |

| Oh god, I could imagine how many of our clients would be "disabled", LOL, we make it a point to tell them that pregnancy is not a disability. We deal with a lot of folks on public assistance. |

| Thats exactly where I think the best place for help would be. The STates Welfare Dept. could issue medical, cash assistance and food benefits for a disabled pregnant women. It would give some help immediately to the short term problem. |
