How many people will give up their seat for a pregnant woman?

- Only six in 10 commuters would give up their seat for an expectant mother, a study revealed.
Researchers found the battle for a seat amid the morning or afternoon rush-hour apparently leads to passengers neglecting their manners or failing to notice pregnant women.
The study of 2,000 regular users of public transport also found one in four commuters hadn’t given up their seat for a 'pregnant' woman in case she wasn't actually expecting a child.
The research was commissioned by Mama Mio skincare as part of their ‘I’m Expecting’ campaign which encourages expectant mums to not be afraid to ask someone to give up their seat.
Ambassador for the #ExpectingChange campaign, Anna Whitehouse (@Mother_Pukka) said: “Pregnancy is not a weakness, but it is a vulnerability and I felt this during my first trimester in particular.
“Busy, hot, and cramped commuting conditions can be incredibly stressful both physically and mentally, and being able to sit down can make a difference.
“However, from my own experience, I find that people are either too engrossed in their phones to be aware of their surroundings, or won’t offer their seat unless prompted.
“I’d encourage anyone who needs a seat on public transport to wear a badge and make eye contact. If that fails, don’t suffer in silence - ask for one!”
Natalie Cowley of Mama Mio said: “We were surprised at the findings, as we’d expected everyone would offer up their seat to a pregnant woman.
“We were particularly shocked that only two per cent said you should offer a seat to a woman in her first trimester, considering how many suffer from severe symptoms during this time, including sickness and fatigue.”
The study also found adults believe you don’t need to offer mother-to-be a seat until she is visibly showing, with three in 10 saying so.
Eighteen per cent agreed you should offer a seat during a woman’s third trimester, with 11 per cent saying you should during the second.
And just two per cent said you should offer up your seat when a woman is within her first 12 weeks of pregnancy.
One in 20 have even ‘stayed put’ over offering up their seat to an expectant mother because they had a reserved ticket.
Seven per cent of women admitted to being offered a seat after being mistaken for being pregnant and a shocking fifth of expectant mothers have been too embarrassed to ask for a seat themselves.
One in five are afraid of who they might offend by offering up a seat on public transport, so they simply don’t bother.
The study also revealed that among the list of 'commuter etiquette' are letting people off before you get on, turning down your music and moving down the bus or train when space is limited.
Not putting your feet on a seat, avoiding consuming smelly food and having your ticket ready to avoid queue pile ups also featured in the top 20.
But despite the unwritten rules, nearly one in five admitted they don’t always follow these outlines of common courtesy themselves.
And many are living under the notion that rules vary from bus to tube to train, with more Brits giving up their seat on a bus than on a tube or tram.
The hustle and bustle of modern life means two thirds agreed Brits are typically rude when it comes to travelling on public transport.
More than half said commuters are impatient and so their manners fall by the wayside, with an equal number agreeing Brits are too buried in their phones.
Fifty-six per cent reckoned it should be made clearer who is eligible for priority seating, with 52 per cent saying more posters at stations and stops would help.
Sixty-two per cent wanr more posters on trams, trains and buses themselves and 60 per cent would like to see more pictures on the seating on public transport.
Natalie Cowley, added: “The #ExpectingChange campaign aims to raise awareness on behalf of pregnant women, and inspire Brits to have more consideration for fell commuters.
''We also hope it will empower pregnant women to have the courage to ask for a seat when they need one.”
Anna Whitehouse also added: “My decision to partner with Mama Mio on #ExpectingChange was largely because it’s a brand that stands for something more, and I also used their skincare products religiously throughout my pregnancy.”
The real issue is she thinks people are looking at her...most people on public transport mind their own business and stare at the wall/floor/phone.
thats what I was exactly thinking. I think there is nothing wrong if one is pregnant to ask for a seat... thank god we have a mouth!
Or they could be staring at the obvious fake baby
HELL NO, people just pretend scrolling thru the phone menu, without actually doing something on it, and everyone observes everything around, especially if its a women, so not buyin it
@@gordongekko3174 so ur just assuming they observer “everything”. that’s stupid of you
@@athithpraba8754 so basically you are saying that people like you on the tube have their heads shoved up their a** , ?
Not even a single women gave her seat
I noticed that too!
She obviously isn't pregnant. She looks like an idiot for wearing a balloon under her shirt.
Hypocrisy, right!🤣🤣
Talk about empowerment lmao.
Because she didnt ask any women
I find it sad that the lass has to try and find attention in this way. She just needs to go and get a life.
It was a test, you clearly need a life. You the one wanting attention
The woman who said there are seats that you are supposed to give up for pregnant women, actually they're also for disabled people
I have sciatica and spinal stenosis and its agonising for me to stand for long periods of time, I was hassled by a pregnant woman because I wouldnt give up my seat for her even after I explained I was disabled, I had to tell her to fuck off before she would leave me alone
Smh
Oh my gosh
Out of all the issues in the world (war, starvation, child labor, etc.) we're focused on people not giving up their seats to able-bodied pregnant women 😑 The first world, I swear
Faxx instead we should start a communist revolution and over through the president and join with China and Russia to annex the WORLD
FBI it was a joke definitely
actually this simple social experiment explains a lot of what is wrong with the world today..
in 3rd world country like mine this isn't an issue, everyone just offers their seats to you if you're pregnant, disabled or elderly but if there ever comes a chance I live in 1st world country like you i will think like you so i won't be alienated by people like you heh
Giving up a seat is a personal choice ... That dosent give you the right to judge anybody
If that’s how your were raised, your parents failed.
@@St.Maurice firstly sorry bro ... My parents didn't teach this to me ... Experience taught me
I know it's an act of humanity ... But humanity itself depends upon personal choices
And BTW
pregnancy itself was the woman's choice ... So stfu 🙏🏻
@@ununknown2444 Bet you’re alone and will be alone in the morning
@@St.Maurice no for sure!!! With my parents ... U from India??
@@ununknown2444 That’s how you all get down? Incest isn’t my thing.
maybe everyone realised she really isnt pregnant and thts why many wont offer their own seat. let her stand.
Nobody HAS to do anything. If you are pregnant then thats your choice and nobody should have to suffer because of it. But if you do give up your seat for ANYONE, then that's also your choice to do so. Its a nice thing to do sure but nobody is required to do it
no, because there is one thing called "priority seat" and it's designed for that, and if you are sitting there you have to get up. Otherwise dont sit there.
Truth
The lady in the video wasn't sitting in priority seating so no
Vanessa Ruiz fuck up
Exactly. Being pregnant is a choice, not a disability you did not choose. Why should I put myself out for their poor life choices? Fuck that. Even when I was pregnant I didn't ask for, or DEMAND a seat. I made the choice to be pregnant and I made the choice to use public transportation. That's on me. Breeder privilege makes me fucking sick.
It was all men who gave up their seat. Also we have all made that shocking you're pregnant, no I'm not moment so I would not be able to tell the difference anyway but also offered to give up my seat for an old woman who luckily had been pushed further down the aisle as when she screamed how old did you think I f**king am. I thought it was a question so replied 60. She went crazy trying to fight through other passengers. Apparently 55 is not 60. Now I keep my head down and try not to engage with fellow passengers in case they are violent lunatics. When it was her stop the driver had to escort her off to ensure she did not start any more drama on her way off. Is this really anyway for old people to behave?
I mean in the area I live my mother was almost driven over by a women who looked like she was 80 or something and the women said that it was my mothers fault but not all old People act like bitches
You were probably in a bad situation, things like this happen too but sometimes you have to hold everything together even if it's tough, wish you luck in life
That old lady was nuts, I'm overweight but if someone offered me a seat I'm gonna politely accept it, ain't gonna look a gift horse in the mouth as I'm disabled
If you're sitting on the seat designated for pregnant women, elderly or PWD's, then by all means, give way. Otherwise, you have every right to stay seated.
It’s just a nice thing to do for someone - offering them a seat 🙂
I would give up my seat, but, as you said “nice thing to do”
@@Lily2807 her choice to get pregnant not my problem,elderly eh maybe but nah don care same thing with pwd’s
@@easports2618 more people should care about others. I think this is a common problem with the human race sadly
@@Lily2807 no,I don’t think I will,it was her choice to get a baby,deal with the consequences
The people that didn’t give her a seat knows that’s a fake bump
Yes maybe, it is also very annoying to see some girl making fake bumps. They didn't know it was an experiment so some of them may had given their seats to non pregnant ladies but decided not to give it to someone who is making fake bumps
Being a decent adult and having compassion is a basic human core development. Unless there’s something wrong with your brain chemistry and you simply don't have it… giving up your seat that is designated for vulnerable people like pregnant people is a sign you’re a decent, well developed adult, you have understanding and are educated to understand that that seat was designed for people who are venerable. Life is stages at one point you , I, every person will be vulnerable whether that’s because you’re Ill or pregnant or old age or something else having humanity and compassion is just a basic human instinct. even children have it from such young ages. And if you don’t have that as an adult you really gotta think why and maybe refer yourself to a therapist.
@custom it was your choice to be stupid
ur not above average human being stop yapping
@@INTERNALLYSCREAM1NG your take is kinda goofy
@@INTERNALLYSCREAM1NG r u rich enough though?
Giving up your seat is NOT compulsory, it's an OPTIONAL choice that each individual is free to follow or ignore.
For it is compulsory. I'm not going to sit while an elderly or pregnant woman stands.
true but it's common courtesy to give up your seat to a pregnant woman or an elderly person
True, but if you don't you clearly don't have any manners.
@josefine S Under feminism we're all equal now, remember?
@@Verbs2007 I don’t just mean pregnant women. I mean any human with clear physical hindrances, whether that be a pregnant woman, an elderly person or someone on crutches. Nobody is forcing you to as you said, but if you have empathy and a moral compass you would .
Never ever will I give up my seat for a pregnant woman
Don’t worry another useful person will
Your mother did a great job raising you
based legend
you are a chad
Useless
As soon I saw the fake bumb I Immediately got off the video because it was so fake it made me cringe
LMAO
She should stand like everyone else. No special treatment. Men and women are equal. No special treatment. That is sexist
Men don't get pregnant , do they?🧐
@@ramlasis7358 But women fought and destroyed that , didn’t they?🧐

YOU got knocked up, not me! 😄😄😄. I sit.
The tube gives me anxiety so when I'm sat down i just close my eyes. I'm unaware of other passengers around me. Lots of people like this.
Your a young strong brave women. You don't need a man to give up his seat! You got this!
Wth
@@user-ooop Women want equality, welcome to equality
It's not about equality or gender it's just abt being nice & having good social etiquette.
Why would u want to treat a prego like tht?
@@user-ooop if it's about being nice then why not let me have the seat I paid for and got to first? I didn't knock the bitch up.
@@cheshire_skatkat9093 Yea it'd be so nice of the prego lady to stand on swollen feet while u chill.
I mean it's mostly abt empathy my guy u don't have to stand but it says somethin of ur character if ur perfectly fine & capable.
The irony is she felt comfortable asking a man to give up their seat instead of another woman lol
Men are expected to cater to women's needs
No offense, but she is as guilty as those who did not offer her the seat.
She has mouth and did not bother to ask for a seat a pregnant woman has right for.
They had the seat but did not bother offering it to the woman.
Both failed in being human. She has mouth, she should be using it the way it should be used.
@Perry Rose your a asshole. Nobody owes her or any pregnant lady anything. They made a choice idiot to open their legs. And they want equal rights
Like my mom.always says . A closed mouth dont get fed.
Perry Rose are you stoopid
She walked into station didn't she and prob down some stairs/escalators she didn't teleport to the station so it's quite obvious to me she's got the capacity to stand for a while as she's got enough going on with body to be worried about a seat lol
Who's gonna go out of their way to check if every passenger isn't pregnant especially if they're on their phone to offer them a seat I'm pretty sure you wouldn't do that when you go on a train or bus like what do you expect? Them to get off their phone and check every 5 seconds to see if there's a pregnant woman?????
I noticed she didnt share any footage of people who refused to give up their seat
Why should men give up his seat?
Its totally a shame for such a high-end society.... you should come to our Small Kerala and watch how much respect we are giving to Pregnant Women
You're sexism is showing maybe you're from backwards place that's why you have such thinking.
Simp
Undeserved respect. They're only pregnant, not carrying the second coming of Christ.
@@neel9137 best answer ever
@@mindmutebutton exactly they are literally just pregnant, not the holy grail
I normally do but many people don't. A few years ago I had a temporary problem with my left leg. Got on a bus and sat in disabled seat. Kid jumps, looked like an arab, with his mum and says he had bad leg and needed to seat down. I said so have I ask in front. The woamn in front , elderly didn't move either. You ststae people are in their own zone. It's called selfishness, they are perfectly aware.
last lady hits the nail perfectly
people need to have more manners, that is it. No feminist, sexist stuff. Just have plane good manners everyone, won't kill you.
I got manners but i aint giving up my seat
If you are pregnant, disabled or elderly or just need a seat, I’ll happily give it up for you. Being pregnant is tough.
Besides, I’m an able bodied adult. I can do back bends, splits and headstands. If I can do all that, I can give my seat up. All you have to do is ask.
I’d rather give my seat than need one
The choice of music for the soundtrack is inappropriate.
1. I didn't see women giving any seats which makes this video only about men. She should've asked women as well to give up their seats.
2. It's a place where people mind their own business. They might look at the floor, use their phone or looking at walls. Her assumption that people are looking at her and not giving the seat is false depending on the situation.
3. Citizens are not under any obligation to give up their seats. So if they don't give up their seats, do not cause issues for them.
I haven't seen this in Montreal, Canada.
15 years ago I would have … now, nah …. I would just mind my own business and not interact with people
Just don't look at them
Sometimes I don’t think the seats are highlighted enough to realise they are priority seats. When people are in their own bubble, on their phone etc. I think it just comes down to manners. Whether it’s a priority seat or not. However these days you can’t assume someone is pregnant either, so maybe it is better that the pregnant person asks to sit down. Personally I’d give up my seat for anyone who needs it. Even though I have a terrible back condition. 🤷🏻♀️
Okay, but that statistic of “3 in 19 won’t offer a seat unless the mother-to-be is showing” is kind of stupid, like how are you supposed to know a woman is pregnant if she’s not showing? Unless the woman is outright announcing that she is pregnant to the whole train/bus, which would be a bit weird
I remembered remember when i eas 8 months pregnant a guy was sitting with his gf and got up so i could sit she flipped out and asked if my baby was his and told him if not than he didnt need to get up
Open your mouth. It's not my job to watch you to see or you're uncomfortable. I might decline depending on my condition. Is my stop is really close, it's probably get up, but the clearly attention seeking behavior will get you ignored. That belly is OBVIOUSLY fake.
Exactly
People wont notice if the tummy small. Like 2 months to 4 months. So usually people ignore😅. I was in the airport where the seat is for pregnant women but its not pregnant people there. End up i sit far away lol
if you are pregnant it's your choice. not my problem.
idk part of me is like just because i use birth control doesnt mean i should give up my seat lol but also their is always designated areas for them and no one should be sitting there but those who need it
in Philippines, its our culture to give seats on girl, ladies, old person, pwd, once you enter a bus or train or any kind.
Then your culture is disgusting, why not give seats to men and boys? Why do women deserve better treatment just because they have different genitals?
Exactly have more manners!
Atleast they have priority seats coloured white on some trains
Do y’all not realize pregnant womens center of gravity is off causing them to be more likely to fall? That’s why they need to sit down on a moving train 😒 or the baby could die because you wanted to look at your phone
Wow great support from other women, men were the only one who got up ... Doesn't it say alot about the so called feminist or women helping each other
The women didnt get up because she only asked men
@@PKBitchGirl so people only do kind things because they are asked ...wow 😲

@@kennastout7621 i could not agree more with you, you are absolutely right, pregnancy should become a symbol of shame
WTF is wrong with people??????
Now do a pregnant man
In my opinion, of this topic I won't give up my seat to someone in general. Unless it is an medical emergency of course or life threatening. Otherwise, nope. Lol, I don't care. It's not my fault that someone is pregnant. Not to be rude or anything but I don't think someone should be entitled just because they're pregnant. No one else asked to suffer along with your conqiences. If someone sat their first it's early bird catches the worm. Finders keepers losers weepers, lol. That's just my opinion. Everyone else is welcomed to have their own.
So you can’t stand for 10 minutes ok
No offense, but why should I give up my seat because someone decided it was their choice to be pregnant. You shouldn't expect it just because you're disabled, or pregnant. You should expect that you can't always get what you want. Like, I said. If it's a medical emergency or something of course if you're just pregnant then no. It's normal. You don't know my medical issues either. They don't know if I can stand for 10 minutes. I have medical issues. So, I think it's selfish of them to expect it just because they're pregnant doesn't mean I am less of value. It's not my fault and people shouldn't have deal with their consequences. No offense, to people. (Also, I'm not offended or mad by your comment just to let you know. Lol.)
Would you like your mother standing up on a train 8 months pregnant of you?
You just seem to not understand the fact pregnant woman are venerable. that's why they have seats designated for them... being a decent adult and having compassion is a basic human core development.

Shame on you for being sexist.

I believe in giving up my seat for anyone who needs it, bascially if im sitting down, and seeing someone who needs it more close by, ill just get up and walk away from the seat and let them hopefully sit down there, i dont need a thank you and ill just stand somewhere else. Just give your seat up to anyone, man woman child or dog if need be if they might need it and dont do it for any reasons other then good.
