Took MRT today and someone asked me to give up seat to someone, i replied I'm pregnant. Am i bad?

Wk 14, wearing loose dress and tummy nt obvious. The Mrt was very crowded in the morning with everyone gg to work. I cant even see who she wanted me to give the seat to. I told her im pregnant. She then said sorry but i said it's okay. I just glad she didn't react differently. Phew. After a few stations, many alighted then I saw an elderly man, i think the lady wanted me to give up seat to this elderly. So i felt bad but then i observed that there were empty seats then but he didn't sit too. But cause i felt bad then i started to think if i should have given up my seat in the first place? Any thoughts?

Do not feel bad at all. You are equally in need of that seat so that person could have requested somebody else sitting in the priority seat to help. It is good that you stated ur situation and the other person didn't react in a weird way too. I remember SMRT used to give some badge to people whose condition(s) is not obvious eg: pregnancy or other internal problems. So try to get that and stick to Ur dress or hang it in Ur phone so it is visible to others
