Mind the...pregnant woman

Yesterday Erin gave me a great rundown of how people react to her now she's pregnant while travelling on the tube.

It went something like this:

Women hardly ever stand up for her.
More mature men jump up when they realise she's pregnant and look sheepish if they'd rushed to get the seat.
Teenagers couldn't care less.
District Line travellers don't give up their seat half as much as those on the Victoria Line. And the Victoria Line is the hottest of all the lines.
If people don't give up their seat sticking her stomach out a little further than usual tends to do the trick.
