Reply To: What would you have done?

apushatayid, suppose you were in a weakened state, ch”v, and told people about it. Suppose none of the people whom you told that you were in a weakened state, offered you a seat, and ignored you standing for 45 minutes straight, afterwards explaining that had you wanted a seat, you should have come earlier. What impression would you have of them?

Similarly, very pregnant women are in a weakened state. They dont have to inform anyone that they’re very pregnant. It’s quite obvious.

Also, apushatayid, suppose for whatever reason a very pregnant woman can’t get to Shul early enough to get a seat, would you suggest she stay home and not hear the Megillah in Shul, or search through her neighborhood for a Shul that hasnt started yet, where she’d have a seat?

In my case, if I would have left the Shul, my husband would have had no idea where I am. I couldnt disturb in middle of Laining to tell him I’m going to a different Shul. I had no option but to stay there and stand ~t h r o u g h o u t~ the Megilah, with your blessings. Nice.
