Calling pregnant ladies who use the Tube.

You may recall that London Transport announced with quite a fanfare that they were going to give pg ladies 'Baby on Board' badges to help them get a seat on the tube. I'd like to know whether you've managed to get one, what response you've had if you've asked for one or if you've seen anyone wearing one.
I've asked in 3 stations for one and they hadn't even heard of them, let alone got them. I think it's just a pretty tacky publicity stunt taking advantage of us.
I want to have a go at LT but need a few more examples. Thanks

i think you do feel more vulnerable with a big bump. luckily i only get the tube about twice a week so can psyche myself up for it...

i never used to ask for seats with 1st pg, but had spd with 2nd pg and so standing up on the tube would mean excruciating pain later... i just got that thick skin.

always ask for seats - stand right over priority seat and ask very nicely in a relatively loud voice - no-one has ever said no
