How do you feel about ...

in 2nd Trimester

randon people just starting to touch your tummy and asking if there is a little one in there and if the bump means anything?

Some people at work started doing it before I told them and then yesterday one of my mom's friends did the same thing and was trying to get out of me if the bump means that I am expecting. (We are still keeping in on a down low, unless people are our close friends and very close relatives, my aunt in Israel still does not know)

    I haven't had a stranger touch me yet.  Or comment.

    All of my girlfriends have asked & I love it when they touch it.

    I HATE when people touch my stomach! A co-worker as soon as finding out did when I came in to work.  It made me SO angry!!! My body, my baby, my belly...DON'T TOUCH!!!

    I get annoyed when my own mother tries to touch my belly.

    i think i offended the GM's wife when i growled at her not to touch.  she was scared to come talk to me the next time she needed to.  i dont like people touching my tummy.  well, my mom yesterday got to but she is my mommy.  she is allowed.

    I went for brunch yesterday with hubby and the owner of the restaurant came up to me (he sort of knows us from coming in all the time) and grabbed my belly... "IS IT TWINS??" i was shocked! i said no, and he said i have twin girls.. 

    that was the first time a stranger touched my stomach.. was kinda weird but i was more offended on the twin comment than the touching

    I figured if they had enough balls to touch me without asking then I could slap their hands away.  Worked every time.  Or touch their belly.  They figure out their rudeness soon enough.  =) 

    As for telling people- if it is obvious enough to strangers that you are expecting then it makes no sense to try and deny it.  Sorry.

    The only stranger that has touched me was a little girl, who didn't know any better, and her mom didn't see what she was up to.  I let my friends touch - some have asked, some have not, but if they are my friends, it really doesn't bother me!

    I'm not a big fan of anyone besides DH touching my belly.  My mom tries all the time and I usually try to walk away.  I would defiantely not be okay with a stranger though, especially one that was just assuming I was pregnant.

    This. I'd be pissed.  I honestly hate it when people I work with just come up to me and start rubbing my belly, one girl will actually put her head up to my belly and say hi to DD.  I don't want to sound like a biitch but I hate it.  Friends and family are a totally different story, they can rub my belly all they want but I'm not close to my co-workers like that so I wish they would keep their hands to themselves!!!

    Well, I am usually pretty thin, so I do have a bump showing and it's a bit obvious, even though it's a bit early. My bloat just turned into a bump :)

    So people were guessing that I was pg and started touching it.

    The only people I am ok with touching my belly are my DH, my best friend (who is like a sister to me) and sometimes my mom.

    For some odd reason every stranger, especially people at work want to touch it, so I've been trying to hold things in front of my belly so no one can get around. One time a co-worker tried to touch it, so I "accidentally" moved a door her way, so it slaped her hand, that was it, she stopped touching it after that. :)

    We are slowly coming out of the box with the pregnancy, but for some people I don't want to know yet, because they have "bad" eyes and I am a bit superstitious.

    Haven't had strangers touch the belly, but I love how excited my friends get when they touch it!
