I could never open my door enough in a standard when i was past 5 months. I know that pregnancy is not a disability but feel that in some cases maybe a concession should be made. From 6 months I could not walk far at all (suffered from SPD which is a problem with your pelvis) and carrying twins (who were 6lb 12ox and 7lb 9oz at birth!!) it was very difficult. Getting in and out of the car was bad enough (i had to have help because of my pelvis) but when there is not enough space it is a nightmare. I know that some people are still running round at 8 / 9 months and not having a problem but there should be allowances made in certain circumstances. Not that i'll ever be in that situation again but other people will.
