[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So... I am assuming all these non-entitled people on this thread had absolutely no issue with men not getting up for them when they were on the metro pregnant? It's "just" a pregnancy, right? Oh yea, you'll say it's different since you couldn't possibly be asked to stand.

This thread sure brought out the worst in some people. I have seen much more unreasonable fears on DCUM from women TTcing (e.g. "my BP was slightly higher, I am not pregnant, now I worry I might get preeclampsia and die"... uhm... what??) and pregnant, this one is certainly not as unusual as you try to make it sound.[/quote]

As a woman, I resent this. I would happily give my seat to any person who was unable to stand for health/medical reasons on the metro. My metro rides are usually 15 minutes or less and I do not pay extra for a special seat nor does my fare entitle me to a seat at all.  The pregnant woman in this thread had a seat.

OP, if you are so anxious that you need your DH sitting next to you, you need to discuss your problems with your doctor and stop expecting strangers to accommodate you.
