Wow I forgot how much I hate that! The only time I don't mind it is if it's me, DH, the Dr or now DD. Other than that, no touching! Especially now, because I feel like it's way too early for them to have something to rub!
I broke the news to a friend of mine last weekend at dinner and post-dinner, she looked at me and said she could see my baby bump. She leaned over and rubbed it. Not a stranger, but besides DH, my first rub!
once i have a big baby belly, i don't mind belly rubs from friends or my family- but before that when I feel like it is a small belly mixed with fat- no thanks!

I agree. When the belly is huge then it doesn't bother me. But right now, I am not really showing so it is silly to rub on my fat and bloat. Plus, I can't imagine rubbing anyones belly without asking. How rude.
My mil did this to me when I first told her I was pregnant with our daughter. I was only 7 weeks pregnant and she started rubbing my belly. It totally freaked me out. I told her never to do that! She looked at me like I had slapped her, but she didn't ever do it again, even when I was huge. LOL!
Re: 1st drive by belly rubbing....
