The kindness of strangers

[needinstructions]

There have been so many complaints by people who are never offered seats on the train/tube when visibly pregnant so I wanted to share my lovely experience of this morning's commute.

I asked for a seat when about to faint/throw up (nobody would know I am pregnant yet so not surprisingly I hadn't been offered) and the nearest bloke leapt out of his seat and made space so I had plenty of air. Another asked if I needed any help when I got off the train and a lady who'd been in the same carriage stopped me as I wobbled my way down the platform and made sure I was ok.

I am embarrassed to say that my hormonal self cried at all this kindness and concern shown by these complete strangers. People can be lovely! x

Thats so sweet. Yes people can be lovely, but people love to spread bad news quicker than good news so you only hear about mean stuff. Glad the world looked after you today xxx

That's lovely, thanks for sharing!

That's lovely, sometimes people just need to be given the chance to offer help, it's easy to get caught up in your own little world whilst travelling on public transport.

That is lovely - you cheer me up!

How lovely!

It was my last working day yesterday (36+2) and I was running late and only just managed to squeeze on my tram. I was right by the door, and got bashed at the next stop as another 10 people tried to get on - until the lady next to me looked down and realised there WAS something in the gap between me and the guy next to me - my giant belly.

Bless her, she apologised and stepped off the tram whilst congratulating me and wishing me luck. There are definately some lovely people out there
