When did people start offering their seats to you?

Totally unexpected thing happened today. I was riding on the train and a guy offered me his seat. I guess it's becoming more obvious that I'm pregnant. Hehe... I'm 24 weeks and 2 days.

When did people start offering you their seats?

i'd say from 20 wks on...i have a hard time wearing extremely loose clothes so i guess the bloat is more noticeable on me! it's very courteous, i'm always very humbled when they offer their seats to me!

Re: When did people start offering their seats to you?

A few times I went to my OB and there were no seats. One guy got up and offered his seat to me. I think I was only a few months PG then.

It's nice when it happens.

Re: When did people start offering their seats to you?

Errr, never.

I took the express bus from Staten Island to Midtown everyday until 36 weeks and if I didn't get a seat I was SOL!

Re: When did people start offering their seats to you?

Never

I leave extra early to try and get a seat, especially now when the little bastids are back to school (that's what I call the high school kids). There were a few mornings that I couldn't get the early bus and the bus would be crowded and no one would give me their seat, even a person that I know and work with wouldn't give me their seat. I was a big girl to begin with, but it is very noticable that I'm pregnant. I just say to myself that they can all go straight to he!!

ONCE! When I was 8 1/2 months pregnant. That's it.

You will be surprised how many people are ignorant....they will pretend they don't see you.....it is very sad.....

Ughhh people are so rude!

Re: When did people start offering their seats to you?

I've been really luck since early on and have been offered seats almost all the time. When I haven't been it REALLY annoys me. Not so much that people won't get up but that they sit and STARE at my big belly.

Re: When did people start offering their seats to you?

I haven't had this happen yet.
And I still get pushed aside when trying to get on the train.

Re: When did people start offering their seats to you?

when I was in london (at about 27 weeks). prior to that, they'd just let me stand

when I returned home (up over 24 hours at that point!) 2 weeks later (29 weeks), the slobs on the LIRR DID let me just stand, and then stared at me as I created a minor scene and stumbled over my luggage in exhaustion to a seat with a bag on it and asked the owner to move it so I could sit down.

didn't exactly give me a warm fuzzy feeling about coming home to good ol' LI.

People started to offer about 1 1/2 weeks ago (I am now almost 26 weeks) most of the time people would just pretend to be asleep and not see me but lately when I get on the train someone immediately offers me a seat. I guess I'm so big that people feel sorry for me

Re: When did people start offering their seats to you?

16 weeks, but then again....some people still don't offer their seats and I am 32 weeks pregnant now

Re: When did people start offering their seats to you?

I never had to deal with seats, but I constantly have people either not holding doors open for me, or walking through them, looking at me, then letting them close.

Oh, and I say something sarcastic too when they let the door slam. They should be ashamed of themselves.
