2nd Trimester

re: belly touch

I don't understand this.

My mother, my own mother, asks if it is ok to touch my belly yet random people feel it's ok to do without asking?

I love babies and pregnant women and I've never been compelled to just reach out and start rubbing my hands on their body.That's weird.

    when a stranger reaches out and touches... you should tell them exactly that.   Maybe then they'll realize how out of line they are.

    My "mentor" always rubs my belly, but it doesn't bother me when she does it. Her 2 yr old loves to rub my belly as well, but she talks to "her baby" thru my belly button. 

  • being pregnant makes us public property:  touching, asking "how much weight have you gained?", comments on how big/small you are....people have balls

  • I missed the memo that my body is public domain now.  If people are going to be touching me, they could at least rub my shoulders or something that makes me happy!

    this.

    the only time i have ever touched a pregnant belly was last summer this girl at a 4th of july party was talking to me about being pg, and her baby started moving, and she grabbed my hand, and was like, see? and i still felt uncomfortable touching her.

  • This one woman I work with feels compelled to touch my stomach a lot.  And each time I give her a weird look.  I don't see what the obsession is.

  • Luckily, most people have asked first (and I've politely said no).  My bf did it first and then asked at which point I, not so nicely, told her no.  LOL  She caught me in a bad moment, too.   I won't even let my sisters touch it.  That's my space, people!
  • I couldn't agree with your mom.

    My mom actually touched my belly without asking the last time they visited and then apologized afterward.  It actually didn't bother me as much as I expected it to, but I think I would slap a stranger if they did it to me.

    DH doesn't even touch my belly without asking.  Stick out tongue

  • I told DH that I want a shirt that says DON'T TOUCH right across the stomach for when I'm really showing.....which I think I'll need to get soon. Then I can wear it in public, and hopefully people get the hint! I think he thought I was joking, but I'm very serious.
