I dont care if people touch me when I have an ACTUAL baby belly. But right now, at 14 weeks, i feel it's mostly bloat and such so I feel uncomfortable. My mom tried. And I was like 'stop that'!

My sister-in-law did it to me the other day. Umm I don't really even like you much to begin with so back off.

My aunt's neighbor did this to me two weeks ago. I think I had a shocked look on my face, she quickly took her hand off my belly. I've only met her one time before this.

Co-worker did it today. I was so taken aback that I didn't say anything. My face must've shown horror.

My MIL keeps rubbin my belly and saying "I can't believe you are showing already". I just smiled, however I wanted to respond "Nope, just 11 weeks. It's just fat, and quit fucking touching me!!" I told my mom about it and she told me that when people touch my belly to either rub theirs in return or put my hand on my belly and take a step back. I really want nothing to do with being people's genie... I promise if you rub me, I will not make your wish come true.

I was sitting at work and a co-worker came up to and started talking to my stomach. Her head was literally in my crotch! Not ok!

I'm seriously contemplating buying this shirt & wearing it every time I leave the house.

I am so NOT a touchy feely person. My closest friends hug me and I feel uncomfortable I was just raised in a very European, non huggy/touchy family. (and I'm the total opposite w/ DH and my kids! LOL).

Anyway, MIL gave me a belly rub on NYE and I almost jumped back. I hate it!

I don't mind my close friends and family touching my belly, when it's actually a baby they're touching. But my DF mother use to always talk to my belly during my last pregnancy and it made me sooo uncomfortable! She'd rub it and talk to it or we'd be at a restaurant and she'd talk to it from the other side of the table! She'd even speak Sicilian so I couldn't even understand her! I just wanted to say "my child is going to speak English so please stop!"

Noooo i didn't like this at all last time and will not have it this time either! Work is always the most awkward so I'm happy I'm not working this time round. I only don't mind if certain people are feeling baby kick, otherwise I don't see the point. Only DH and DS are allowed. DS hugs and kisses baby almost every morning and night. He just randomly did that as soon as we told him baby is in mummy's tummy (he's 2) without even seeing anyone else do it or anything. He also talks to baby. DH and take turns rubbing each others stomachs because I don't have anything yet lol

There is this woman at work. Every time I see her and don't immediately walk away I get a belly rub. She now has our coworkers doing it too... She says "feel the baby?" After placing their hands on my stomach.

Had my first on Tuesday by my partners mum, loved it felt good to have someone show they are happy with being a new granny

MIL did it to me right after we announced at xmas and right after 3 tamales!! I really didn't like it and tried to avoid her there after. She means well, but we're not that close!

I'm going to be the odd person out when I say this, but here's it goes...

BRING ON THE BELLY RUBS!! (But let's keep it with just a quick little rub!)

In my culture, I grew up the believing the curse of the "el mal ojo" (oh-ho). "If your not familiar with the term giving you ojo, it’s a term used to wish someone bad luck unintentionally because you like what that person is wearing or eating or anything involving that person in front of you. So the superstition to counter it is to touch the item or sometimes if someone is admiring your baby to touch the baby" (https://sanantoniohauntings.blogspot.com/2011/05/evil-eye-but-in-mexican-culture-called.html)

Ex: I've made a great lunch and as I'm eating it my coworker says "wow, that looks so good!" As I am about to put it in my mouth, it falls on my shirt" Ojo? Bad timing? Who knows, but I'm going to offer her some just in case!

It seems very "voo doo" if you're not familiar, but it's mostly just a piece of mind.

I'm definitely a toucher, but not to pregnant women's belly. I'll place my hand on their arm or shoulder for just a second  during conversation, hardly even noticed. I don't actually say, Oh I'm admiring you so much, let me touch you so I don't ojo you." Then things starts to get weird.

My midwife mother in law touched my belly the other day saying it was so cute, I laughed and said she of all people should know that at 13 weeks, it's not that big...it's all my past bumps. She laughed and said it was cute anyways :P I don't care if she touches it, she and I are really close, for goodness sake she delivered 3 of my kids ) anyone outside my family though is going to get a weird response.

This is cracking me up!! I'm nervous about how I'll react to the first belly rub bc I'm not sure what I would even say. I'm ok with DH and my dog feeling but that's it. I can already see my younger cousin reaching... That karate chop idea sounds good for him.

Lol! My cousin put his head against my belly while I was his house for Christmas and his wife started poking my belly and talking to the baby, I was like " that's not how it works! That's not how any of this works!" The whole family started laughing but I think EVERYONE got the picture.

When we told our expected family the day after Christmas no one went near my belly except for a friend of the family!  At least if it was family I'd be less weird about it.  I barely know this woman.

Luckily I haven't had anyone touching but I always catch people staring at my belly. I was bigger to start with and only 11 weeks now so I ask them to stop staring at my fat lol.
