I felt regret much time of today,for that this mornig I caught so crowded bus here by confirmed that I pregnancy for about four months.
when i saw the bus,it was not so crowded,so I got on,before that is to say the other days I would wait for some time untill the bus is enough empty to ensure my safe.I felt so regret in the bus,because four months many people can not see,so they don't know the pregnancy.i energetically to protect my stomach,in order to protect my baby.And felt the sense of responsibility deeply,pray everything would be OK.It was so dangerous to do that...
This time is the embarrassing period,when sometime I seat the bus or the metro,the children or the old stand before me,I feel embarrassing,if normal time I will give up the seat to they not hesitate,but now...
Once in the metro a children may be three years old with her parents stand before,I was thinking give up the seat or not,because i need the seat,so i moved a little location enough let the little girl seat,and suddenly a young beautiful girl beside me gave the seat to the girl and her mom...I felt clearly blush...Oh,god,embarrassing time...
Do you have this experience to share....

In early pregnancy like from week 6 to 12 a lady can feel sickly and around 16 weeks pregnancy a lady can feel faint if she has to stand on a bus. I know that people don't see a bump like they would if the lady was heavily pregnant. At times during my pregnancies I just had to sit down or I would probably have fainted. I think you felt awkward because you needed the seat but felt you should give it up. I don't think you should feel bad. It was lucky that the girl got up so the mother and child could sit down. My toddler son is disabled but sitting in his buggy he looks normal. Some people imagine he is too lazy to walk. I took him to the doctors and the receptionist moaned about no buggies being allowed. I explained my child is physically disabled and won't ever be able to walk. Due to the fact he has a nine month old sister I told her the buggy is the same as a wheelchair. I remember traveling up to Bristol in a crowded train when I was 16 weeks pregnant. I had to sit in a luggage rack. Later in that pregnancy I was so tired after a busy train service that I went to the wrong hospital. I phoned the consultant and said I would get a taxi but he said don't bother. I am not in hurry to see that consultant again.

I don't think you have to be ashamed of that you didn't gave the seat. You said you need the seat, so you take care of your own kid at that moment and that is right. Probably in the bus there were mane people that weren't in a special situation and could gave their seats. I think you didn't do anything bad.
