Inappropriate belly touching

tracy41

Is anyone else getting their belly touched already?  I was expecting to have to deal with it when I started to really show, but I am barely showing and people (at work!) are already walking up and feeling my belly!  It is kinda creeping me out and it comes out of no where!

That would creep me out a bit too!  The only person who really ever touches my belly is my mom -- she's so excited.  She'll bend over and rub on my belly and tell the baby who she is.  It's so cute.  I only let her do all that because she's my mama.

I did this to my sister when I was pg with DS.  I was about 10 weeks and she ran up to me and tried to rub my belly.  I smacked her hand away and told her she was being rude.  Then I rubbed her belly.  She looked at me like I was insane.  I asked how that was any different than what she did to me.  I wa only 10 weeks and my utereus wasn't even above the pubic bone yet. 

Fortunately, that was the only time my whole pregnancy that anyone tried to touch my belly.

I'm not a fan of anyone touching my stomach EVER. And it creeps me out when people rub pregnant womens' bellies (no matter how pregnant), especially if its a total stranger. I went out to dinner last week and there was a woman who was due that week and the waitress went up to her and rubbed her belly and then continued to do this EVERY TIME she walked past their table. I was uncomfortable for her.
