Peak hour on public transport

Hello mummies! First time mom at 15 weeks, this morning, i fell down on the bus as it jammed break and i hit my right side of my leg, arm, and body on the pole. I am naturally on the bigger size (178cm, 85kg currently) and i do have a little bump but with clothes i just look fat 🥲🥲 also, i do look very young (actually im quite young, 23 this year but ive been married for more than a year now) and have multiple visible tattoos so im afraid to ask for seats and get judged when its crowded and i will just stand. but after this morning, i am a little more worried about my little one in my tummy. i am also very introverted and do not express my opinions well so i dont dare to ask for a seat. what will you mummies do? please help 🙏🏻🙏🏻#pleasehelp #advicepls #firsttimemom

If you require seat in public transport, do ask for it. Dont be afraid. Alternatively, I came across a post of a mummy who requested for a special tag for pregnant/priority seat tag which you can get at mrt station. You can also start wearing clothes that's flaunt your beautiful bump so people can give you seat. It doesn't matter if they throw you question like "are you pregnant?" just proudly say yes and you will be happy to have the seat. Priority and safety of you as well as baby is important.
