My wife's stories of travelling on United when she was in the third trimester of pregnancy are similar. While we found it typical for employees in most service businesses (ex. Starbucks, car service, dry cleaning, restaurants, etc.) to provide kindness to my pregnant wife, UAL employees accross the board could have cared less. Fortunately my wife experienced some kind passengers who offered her a hand when needed.
