On Wednesday, she tweeted:
Inside Edition took to the New York City subway system to test out if anyone would give a seat for reporter Ann Mercogliano who is 7 months pregnant.
Mercogliano didn’t have to stand for long as someone graciously gave up their seat.
Next, she stood at the bottom of a long flight of stairs with a suitcase. People rushed by without any offers to help until a man finally helped her out.

Another test occurred as she was rushing around the congested city, looking for a taxi.
Mercogliano admitted she was being a little pushy, standing right in front of people who were already hailing cabs.
One lady gave up her cab without any hesitation.
Mercogliano said she was "touched" by the gesture.
