Giving up seats in public transport

Hi mummies! I am currently 23 weeks and having a visible round belly(average body size). I like to wear body hugging dresses which makes my belly even more bigger and noticeable. However, I always find it hard for people to automatically give up seats for me (most of time people are not on the phone or sleeping, I am pretty sure they make an eye contact with me when I entered). I have hard time balancing especially on buses, mrt and I am too shy to ask for a seat. Normally my mother or my husband have to make a big fuss on how inconsiderate people are, then some will just stand and walk away. I try not to go out as much as possible even so, I will normally take grab, but once in a while I will need to run an errand and have to take public transport. Since young, I have always give up my seats to elderly and pregnant ladies that's why I am quite shock at how our society behaves now. Do mummies experiencing this as well?

i experienced it too, even have to give up my seat it is really sad to see and hear about that. maybe you can try go take the sticker? and see if it helps?

No one gave up seats to me on public transport throughout my entire pregnancy actually. Some even snatch seats from me.

for my case I was seating at priority seat and this old lady was staring at me. I end up giving up my seat 😔

i would walk up to the person. rub my tummy. if still no seat given, i would ask loudly. don't be shy.

I do and don’t sometimes . Some will even rush in to snatch a seat with me on the train 😅

yes I've experienced it my whole pregnancy that after a while I've stopped taking the MRT

Yes! I get young guys in suits rushing to snatch the seat from me in the mrt 🙄

Yes. I totally feel you and can see the big difference compared to 2 years ago..

Maybe you can ask the staff at the station platform for help to get a seat.
