Rant about commuting!!!
Anyone else having to commute everyday and finding it EXTREMELY stressful!!! Its bad enough when you are not pregnant but having to squeeze yourself onto packed and i mean like cattle are packed, tubes and trains, getting knocked in the bump by stupid men with stupid men's briefcases and no men ever offering their seat (i've found only women have done this for me) Just puts me in a terrible mood in the mornings!!:x People are so inconsiderate, i'm really surprised by the whole thing!!! Sorry, had to have a rant - feel much better now )

I was on the bus about a week ago and standing up, started feeling really light headed and thought I was going to faint. I was clinging onto one of the upright bars with my eyes closed, trying to get the feeling to go away but I came so close to completely blacking out that I had to crouch down on the floor and stay there until it was time to get off - I was 22 weeks at the time, so obviously pregnant, but nobody even bothered to ask if I was ok! Probably thought I was drunk or something!
Sorry - didn't mean to rant quite so much in your thread! How much longer have you got at work? Hope you find some more considerate people willing to give up seats for you!

I'll never moan again about my short walk to work!!
You rant away Pricey, i know exactly what you mean, especially as you were clearly pregnant, what does it take for someone to let you sit down?? I am like you and usually quite calm about stuff like this but turn into some crazy women if someone dares to come near my bump!! Must be all that maternal protectivness coming out!! I've got ages left of commuting, i wish maternity leave started from the minute you got pregnant til they were two so we didn't have to deal with it!! Bless OH though, he said that in a few weeks he will pay for me to drive in so i don't have the tube drama as he doesn't want me stressed and knocked about. Hope things get a bit less stressful for us all x
