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 also don't get seats 70% of the time (thank you so much 30% of the kind people), sometimes people just pretend not to notice. I feel you as sometimes due to work, I am carrying multiple bags and have been walking a lot so I am really tired and wish people would offer me a seat. Especially when the MRT is so packed I don't even have a handle to hold onto. I even get pushed by elderly so they can cut queue to get on bus first. Never got the courage to ask though, especially since most in priority seats are elderly, I just bore with it. Sometimes when I'm feeling better and my station is just a few stops away, I give my seat for those who need it more tho i.e. those carrying a baby and have children clinging to them, because I know how they feel.
