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?

Similar thing happened to me when i was about Week 25-26! My bump was quite visible already and this auntie (look 50ish) actually came up to me and asked me for the seat 😔 It's very sad that people nowadays have no compassion. Many times the young and abled sitting at the priority seat will just look up, stare at my bump and then continue to look back down at their phone or pretend to sleep. Some even pushed me from the back to "overtake" me and snatch my seat 🤷🏻‍♀️ Most of the time, i will have to stand throughout the ride or till someone alight. So don't have to feel bad. We need the seat too. Care for baby and yourself 1st as nobody out there will bother if you fall.

Yar I encountered the same scenario too, pushing me from the back n snatch the seat. But I told her off, even scold me crazy 😖
