Is there any chance with asking the gate agent to switch someone? I would be fine sitting apart for the flight.
"Hello seatmate. I'd like to apologize in advance for all the times I'm going to need to get up and go to the lav during this flight (being pregnant as I am). Would you prefer to switch seats with me so I don't have to dusrupt your working / sleeping during the flight?"
I know I'd be happy to switch seats if someone approached me this way!
