You'd think...

You would think that at 9mos pregnant you'd be able to get a seat on the nyc subway. Not true. Three days in a row standing on the train. The worst part is, I once saw a fight break out bc somebody asked somebody else if they could sit down, so I am scared to do the same. Have to seriously contemplate taking maternity leave early and losing time w my baby boy afterwards bc my 1.5 hr public transportation commute is causing too much unnecessary physical stress and I was just diagnosed w prenatal hypertension so can't risk hurting him. Not sure what to do...
