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

Hello, just push out your belly more in front of priority seat and rub your belly to be seen. I wasn’t offered any seat in the beginning of my pregnancy either but we must do what we can to protect our little ones. And sometimes people don’t want to offend you by offering the seat coz you might be just fat and not pregnant. I do have this dilemma often with plus size people.
