Stop touching my belly!!!!

mommybelanova

I'm just into my second tri. and already everyone feels the need to just walk up and grab my stomach. I'm barely showing and tbh they're mostly just getting a handful of bloat. What is a nice way to let people know that they're uninvited stomach grabs aren't okay with me? (I know I sound like a bitch, I think I'm hormonal..)

They're only getting a handful of bloat. It's super rude for people to touch someone else's belly unless you are invited to feel baby kick or it's dh.

I usually reach out and grab their hand. They get the picture.

Reach out and grab their belly.

I reach out and grab their belly. I look innocently at them and say, "Oh, I thought this was what I was supposed to do too."

I like that idea! Maybe they'll realize how awkward they're being.

I used to say "thats mostly burrito" and it would weird people out. Now that I'm obviously more bumped out I rub their bellies back or say "I'm sorry, is it normal touch people uninvited where you're from?" Usually ends it fast.
