How right you are! I really don't think everyone's that mean - it's just their way of bringing up the subject.

As for touching my belly - well I'm not all that touchy-feely, so am not 100% comfortable when it happens, but I can definitely understand why someone would be drawn to touch someone's pregnant belly. I don't think you'd see the same people walking up to a non-pregnant person and doing the same thing - they'd probably get their heads punched in anyway! LOL

I say we should all just stop stressing about that kind of stuff and enjoy the extra attention! (Yes, I do like to get attention!!) It might also be a good way to recruit some extra helpers - you could say your back's really sore (thanks to your big belly) and could they PLEASE go and buy you a coffee....! Of course they will jump at the chance, because they just felt your little miracle kick! LOL.
