Need my priority seat.

Hey Mummies, I'm 19wks 5days preg. My belly looks huge now and I walk like a penguin🐧. I commute to work by MRT. There are days I wore like loose clothing and I understand that why people don't give up their seat but when I wore super tight clothes that stick to the body which can see my belly bump. I'm quite surprised people don't give up their seats despite me rubbing my belly like obviously🤰🏽, i notice they were looking but their eyes are glued back on their phone. I cant stand too long otherwise I'll get like bits of cramps here and there on my lower belly. How should I ask for a priority seat? What if they don't want to give seats. I don't want to face like embarrassing moments etc. Or even get myself video by some random strangers n em' posting it online. Help 🥲

I think you can obtain a “May I have a seat please” lanyard from mrt station control. Or I feel if you really need a seat, asking it nicely always work, if the one sitting on the priority seat do no offer it to you, no need to argue with him/her (as they might have hidden med condition that we might not be aware of and needed the seat as well), just move on to another person to ask, usually even those who are not on the priority seat will offer theirs when they realize you needed it.

Yes to this. You can approach the control station and let them know you are pregnant, and they can issue you a lanyard for which says “May I hve a seat please”. With or without the lanyard, you can try to lookout for station staff and stand near them when waiting to enter the train. Most of the times, they will ask if you need a seat and help you to ask passengers if someone can give up their seat to you.
