A pregnant woman wondered how this was possible after a flight attendant refused to lift her carry-on bag into an overhead locker. Dominique Elissa, a model from Australia expecting her first child, claims she explained that she was pregnant and had previously injured herself doing the same task, but the crew member still told her to check the bag in, according to Ladbible.
Elissa shared the experience during a recent episode of the Big Small Talk podcast, where she also spoke about what she sees as a lack of respect for pregnant women. The 31-year-old claimed her husband had specifically told her to ask for help rather than risk lifting her luggage herself.
