I can usually tell by the shape of the belly.
But still never say anything until it's confirmed.
If you do want to offer your seat to a woman you think is pregnant and she asks why simply say "because I'm old fashioned" or similar and tell her it's because she's a woman or, if you care what "femenists" think about that, say "I'll be sitting down all day." or similar.

That's good advice...
But I find saying "No, you just look like you might topple and hurt someone behind you." works well, too.

Or simply be honest, instead of pandering to the feelings of someone who looks like they'd eat you if they were given a bottle of ketchup, and say
"Because you look like you're pregnant."
