Really happy that people can notice my bump and started giving up seats to me at MRT

However I do feel awkward at time 😅 because my bump is not considered big ( week 19) and not sure how to react when people actually give up seats to me, quite shy 😅 But I am really happy when people can see my bump😊

you’re lucky. i’m 23 weeks pregnant and my belly is super obvious because i’m petite. but people miraculously fall asleep or pretend they didn’t see me. usually it’s also the elderly who offer their seats to me. recently read an article saying we shouldn’t feel entitled as we’re all paying the same fare.. so why should we have ‘extra privilege’. just gonna have to teach my kids to be better people 😅

I feel some of these articles are negative towards us pregnant ladies. If the train is not overcrowded on peak hour its fine! But sometimes the ladies in their first tri feel terrible and just need a seat. I did read that there are problems ppl have that arent visible and some ppl just stand the whole day at work and need a break! But for us its dangerous to stand if its very crowded in the train. Two lives at danger instead of one. Even getting a leaning spot is a priviledge now!
