sorry but i need to get this off my chest!!

the other day i was on a bus home from a very long and tiering day from work.
i made sure i got on at the first stop as i know it will get packed easy.

so the bus goes to the next stop and as predicted a whole load of people get on.
I notice a pregnant women (who looked about 7 months pregz) walked on the bus, an older women about 60 offered her seat and she declined.

about 4 stops later i get a tap on my shoulder and someone saying "can i sit down, i am 8 months pregnant with a bad back"
the cheek of it! i thought after i just saw her turn down a perfectly good seat.
so i said "sorry but i have had a long day" and just looked away.
i then noticed most of the people on the bus staring at me and then one man offered his seat wich she took.

I am not being rude or anything but its not my problem that you are 8 months pregant with a 'bad back'.

i just wanted to know your opinions on what you would do in that situation and if you think i was being a bit selfish?
(as my friend thought i was being after i told her the story)

feed back welcome from pregnant mums too
cheers
