Is everything okay? That doesn't sound right that she is getting the special treatment otherwise.
Hah, you don't understand. It's a department of mostly guys. They're terrified we ladies will break anyway, and that triples with a pregnant woman. Their chivalrous instincts kick into overdrive. And the few of us women already band together tightly, so when something like this comes up we go into overprotective mode too - plus the fact that none of us have had babies, means we're a bit scared of the whole thing.
It's a weird situation, I am her birth and pregnancy expert because just from being around pregnant women I have more experience than everyone else.
