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?

To be fair, everyone pays for the same fee and boards the same train. Even able-bodied person deserve to sit down and should not be 'required' to give up their seat. One can be gracious in many other ways, should not be viewed as not gracious with just one incident. No one know better than yourself if you need that seat or not. You may think others need it more than you but the targeted person may also think the same and thus will still not take the seat even you offered. So do what you feel best for you
