Is it only me who feels this way?

Question

Ok, so I'm 10 weeks pregnant, though for the past few weeks since I found out that I've been pregnant, I've been thinking about how I'll be able to sit on public transportation more often when my belly shows more than it is now, honestly, j can't help but feel slightly bad that I feel that way since I'm a person that would offer my seat to someone if they ask to sit or need to sit down, idk, it's also my first pregnancy so there's that... How do you try to cope with that feeling of guilt if you have it?

Answer

Haha whaaaatt? This whole thing confuses me. Just because you’re pregnant doesn’t mean you need to take a seat if you don’t need it. And if you do need it, don’t feel guilty. You’re wayyyyyyy overthinking this

Answer

You feel guilty for what now?

Answer

It seems like you are the only who feels this way and god bless your big heart but seriously, don’t feel guilty when you need a seat then you do! Being pregnant can take a real toll on your body and you’d want to sit down not giving it to anyone else. There will always be someone else give up their seat for an elderly/people with disabilities/pregnant ladies and if not, shit 🤷🏽‍♀️ however you can always give the seat up to someone who really needs it more than you do if that’d make you feel a bit better about the humanity.

I’m a lower leg amputee that NEVER uses my disability tag for parking. Even before I got my prosthetic and I was on crutches full time I wouldn’t use it. However......I’ve been using it pretty much daily for the last couple of weeks 🤣🤷‍♀️ I’m 19+5 now and don’t have any shame. Nor should you! You need to take a seat? Take one! As a “disabled” person I can say this too...age is not a default disability, and especially where I live every single person over 60 years gets a disability tag from their physician to park close because they don’t like to sweat. Drives me NUTS 🤬 So I’d imagine at least a couple of the people who’s seats you might be “taking” are just using them because they’re older anyway. Guilt be gone!

Answer

My first pregnancy i would pass out alot. I remember once waiting to be seated at a restaurant and there was literally no where sit and i felt a spell coming on and i needed to sit. Well i ran/stumbled outside, seeing all white, feeling my way out so i wouldnt collapse. All in the freezing weather so people wouldnt look at me like i was my 26yo. perfectly healthy self just being lazy wanting to sit. (I wasnt showing very much at this time.) People judge wayy much!

Answer

I always just said no thank you if I was comfortable enough standing.  If I was in pain or ill, I’d take the seat but still give it up if someone who looked worse off then me came on.
