First Uninvited Belly Rub

carolinettc · March 2013

I was talking to a coworker at her cubicle and another coworker came over and I swear I saw it in slow motion, lol then she gave me a light tap. It wasn?t a complete stranger but it was weird... How does everyone one else handle this? I have some friends who welcome it and others that wear silly shirts that say things like "don't touch" or "don't even think about it"

Please don't touch my belly without asking or do the exact same thing back.

I handle it differently with different people. Those I'm close to know that I'm not interested in having my belly rubbed.

If it's someone where it's a one-off, for instance, my distant cousin rubbed my belly the other night, but I probably

I hate being touched. I literally only let my husband and our boys touch my belly and it was the same with my first pregnancy. I usually nicely ask people not to touch me if I catch them before they do, or ask them not to do it again if they touch me befo

My SIL did that to me a few weeks ago...I really wasn't showing and it was VERY uncomfortable! I really wouldn't have had a problem with it if she would have asked!

As long as it's someone I know, it doesn't bother me at all. But if some stranger in line at Wal-mart were to rub my belly, now that's weird.

I won't mind getting my belly touched but that is just me.

In my opinion, there is no point in making a fuss over a one time occurance. If she keeps doing it, I would just politely ask her to stop. A lot of strangers are going to be feeling up your belly between now and when you give birth...you may as well get u

I really have a pet peeve about this! Just because I'm growing a baby doesn't give you an open invite to touch ME! Family is one thing, but outside of that I'm kinda sketchy! My friend told me about her going to a gas station & some lady just started

I've seen coworkers who hardly know each other touch their tummies. My jaw literally dropped. You didn't put it there, don't touch it. I am dreading this happening to me.

I love the idea of touching someone's stomach back.

I work at an airport and normally have zero interaction with the traveling public. Well being pregnant, I am trying to walk more, so what better place then in the public level, where its cool, dry and air conditioned (I live in Orlando). So I was just wal

I started to get the belly rubs a few weeks ago, still in first trimester, and really, just a gas baby. The first rub I got was from my BIL and I felt absolutely violated. I was in absolute shock. Since then, it seems that I can't keep people away from my

I was at a gas station the other night and an older woman asks me how far along I am and if she could rub/pet my tummy. I am already person who doesn't like being touched. And at the time I was not in the greatest mood. I replied with can I rub/pet
