This baby makes me confused about who I am. :)

I normally have body issues, hate attention and dislike being touched by people who are not my family and friends.

Now that the baby is bigger, I love my body and have been absolutely loving all the attention and belly rubs I've been getting. I even got my first male co-worker belly rub this morning and it wasn't bad like I thought it would be. Granted, this guy is really nice to everyone, not creepy and asked if he could touch before reaching out and rubbing belly. Anyone else feel this way?

haha!  with you on the belly rubs.  I'm upset that not everyone is rubbing my bump:)  well...all the ladies.  I think that guys would creep me out with the exception of hubby

I didn't really have body issues and still hate being touched (even when asked), but I definitely feel more confident/comfortable in my own skin and with the every growing bump.

ha! This made me laugh. I have these weird urges now to want to hug friends of mine, cuddle up beside them and even hold hands...... I literally have to stop myself because it is so out of character for me- and of course my friends don't want to "cuddle" with me!!

I think it is a hormonal thing maybe?

I get annoyed from being constantly petted!!

But I love when people comment on the belly!! It's better than hearing, "wow you've gained weight!" lol.

I'm with you on feeling great about how you look - I feel prettier and happier with my body when I'm pregnant. But I still very much love my personal space and do not appreciate the belly rubs from anyone but DH, especially since my bump is still mostly fat and not baby :P

I guess I still like some personal space too. I mean, I still get annoyed when some random is up on my back while I'm waiting in line or something. AND, my bump is probably more fat than baby, but I don't care. It's a beautiful bump because of the baby.

This. Maybe when I am bigger I will not mind it if people try to touch... but ASK FIRST! I do love the comments about the belly- but didn't particulary enjoy the comment from my co-worker about how my "butt has been filling out" .  Seriously, that is just a nice way to say... "hey, your a** is getting bigger!".
