Reminds of a couple incidences while I was pregnant. Once I was walking to get off the green line T - you know how they have stairs to get off. I guess I wasn't moving fast enough considering my condition at the time and some bozo pushed me down the stairs.
Another time I was in tow with my older daughter - toddler at the time and pregnant on the T (it was an unusual circumstance that I had to take my younger daugther with me to work). We were standing and this nice man offerred me his sit - as he got up, some young guy took his seat. We both looked at each other in shock. Not being some one to keep my mouth shut and also as there were many people obviously "hiding" behind papers so they didn't appear rude to not offer me a seat - I loudly said, "I guess being pregnant and holding a toddler does not entitle you to be offered a seat." or something along those lines. Suddenly all these people were offering me their seat.
