Last year, Forrest Sandifer of St. John’s wasn’t feeling well. He was having stomach issues and found no answers and no relief after multiple doctor visits.

After blood work and other tests, his physician started talking about what some fear most: cancer. Specifically, a pituitary gland tumour.

Further testing and an MRI were scheduled. But the 27-year-old had a gut feeling.

While waiting for his next appointments, he took two more tests at home, and the mystery was solved. There was no tumour at all; he was pregnant.

    I was confused at first, but because I assumed he had had bottom surgery.

    He and his family have attended baby and parent groups, but they likely won’t return.

    “Most of the ones we went to, there have been parents who have literally turned their children away from us because we are a gay couple with a baby,” he said.

    But one of the top anxiety-inducing parts of being a parent for Sandifer is one most folks probably don’t give a second thought to: parking.

    When trying to park in a spot reserved for new families or those who are expecting, other drivers have tried to police him.

    On more than one occasion, he said, he’s received “you shouldn’t park here” comments.

    The problem: some of those signs read for “new” or “expectant mothers,” featuring the icon of a pregnant woman in a dress.

    Fucking shitty people, stop being shitty.
