Pregnant, but she has to 'fight' for priority seats

<!-- by line --><!-- end by line -->
<!-- end left side bar --><!-- story content : start -->
I AM eight months pregnant and I commute to and from work by the MRT daily.
As my pregnancy progressed, so too did the intensity of backaches and tiredness. I have now resorted to unabashedly asking commuters to give up their priority seats to me. But how does one ask for seats occupied by people who are apparently in deep sleep?
A couple of times, I found myself having to "fight" for the priority seat with other women. Needless to say, I lost the battle, but the women did not appear to be embarrassed that someone else had to give up their non-priority seat to me.
While I hate to make expectant mothers sound vulnerable and frail, the fact is we are more tired and in greater discomfort than any healthy, non-pregnant person at any given time.
The authorities should consider blocking those reserved seats so that pregnant women will no longer need to fight for them or bear with other people's selfishness.

I AM eight months pregnant and I commute to and from work by the MRT daily.

Did i read what i am reading? 8 months pregnant and she still goes to work??? Something is wrong with your country.

 

[ah_phah]

she can have the whole carriage to herself if she use abit of her brains. she just need to invest a small amount of $ to get her way.

buy the latest SAF LBV from army mkt, then insert as many chicken franks/sausages into the vest pockets & slots. brainless sinkies & stompers will panic & kanjiong on sight. they will think that its a suicide pregnant terrorist. call mata, call scdf, call the MRT staff.

then at the end, it will just bring more awareness to how much trouble it takes for a pregnant woman has to go thru to get a priority seat on the trains.

It is not about affording a car, in the eight month of pregnancy, it is quite dangerous for a woman to move around a lot. She should rest more at home to 'protect' her baby, or prevent any incident of mishap happening.

Your govt is one ass. How come no policy to keep the big tummy woman at home. This is terrible. IN other countries that is real first world, even some developing countries, dun allow such cruel thing to happen.

SInkieland is soooo sucks!!!!!

I wonder what she means by "blocking the reserved seats".
Locking the seat up and giving pregnant women the key?

Please man.... I'm so sick of preggies complaining this kind of shit. Unlike the elderly people, where aging is a NATURAL consequence of living that long, nobody forced her to fuck and get pregnant. Nobody pointed a gun at her and forced to carry baby.

You want to be pregnant, deal with the fucking consequences! Stop whining when your backaches and you can't find a seat...

I agree.
For the elderly and disabled, they should be given the seats without even having to ask.
For pregnant women, they should ask politely, but it's up to the seated people whether they want to give up the seats.
There was this case whereby a man grumbled to the press that he had to stand up and carry his baby on a crowded bus on a saturday night. Nobody offered to give him a seat.
My reply to him would be that he should have considered that before he decided to take a bus to town on a saturday night or perhaps even before he decided to make his wife pregnant.

 

[Queen Seok Duk]

we are more tired and in greater discomfort than any healthy, non-pregnant person at any given time.

What talk about her greater discomfort ? What not talk about the orgasm that eventually led to the pregnancy ?

 

[lianbeng]

alamak...
nothing to do with cuntry or hubby lah.
nowsday many companies are trying to get rid of "loafers" to make way for fresh graduates - faster, better n cheaper mah.
so those preggos, oldies, mc kings/queens, etc... better guai guai shuddup n work or risk losing their jobs liao.
nowsday no more iron ricebowls hor even for civil servants - all plastic disposable type.
such is new company policy lor.
cantonese say: jee kay lor leh suay lor. ~sigh~:(

SInkieland is soooo sucks!!!!!

She must hang a sign, that says I am PREGNANT!!, so that people will give way, give up seats, usher her on-board buses, trains etc.. better still hang a small those siren lights..so that all can see.

The SINkieeland sucks...hate to agree with you, but with you, I may not be agreeable.

I usually feign sleep, when I see pregnant women on trains or on buses...the reason...SINgapore sucks...I have seen countless women ignoring their own sisters who are pregnant...so, how would you expect the men, whom me & other, sometime out of common courtesy give up thier hard earned seats.

It is the women the biggest culprits in not offering seats....go take a train or bus rides...you can verify this.

Eight months pregnant...shouldn't be jostling with the crowds at rush hour...she can cause infant distress, break her water bag..and make people inconvenience...or catches some viruses tha harm the infant & catches Chicken Pox that will kill the baby.

This silly woman, does not deserve a seat....

 

[lianbeng]

but having said all that...
how to justify whether she's really pregnant or just severely overweight?

Ah!, I berry good at this one...for I am a belly inspector fat tummies have 'love handles' at the side..the shape is not uniform...pregnant belly have a uniform roundness...it may be completely round, some elongated round...in short, they have an unfiform surface shape...go blow up a balloon or a condom..and you will know what I am talking about..the other thing would be, pregnant woman have swollen breasts...if you know breasts..you will know, what I mean..

The other would be age....one over 40 plus..with a big belly chances of that woman being pregnant...you take the long odds...over 50..longer odds...All the years of commuting by public transport... I have made enough observation to be a beri good belly inspector..
