Yep. it happened to me a bit. but i really didn"t mind. i think people mean well, just they don't realise that it can be VERY uncomfortable for some people.

i never minded peopple touching my belly, my mum would rub it everyday, lol i thought it was cute. or my nan. the IL's never touched the belly tho, they arent the belly rubbing type, unlike my mum lol

however i did have a stranger come up to me in centrelink one day and say 'oh my god can i touch your belly?!?!' and just grabbed it.. i just stared at her.. like i was in shock, i couldnt get words out. why why why would u ask a stranger if you can touch their belly?? i understand a friend of family member... but a stranger?

I have strangers trying to touch my belly all the time. I dont like it, but have sort of learnt to put up with it. I shouldn't have to I know. There is one guy however, he is a mate of my husbands, he asked to touch it once, which I allowed. But now he tries to kiss my belly everytime I see him. He tells people I said it was ok, but i never have. I really hate it! It makes me so uncomfortable. But he is the kind of guy that gets easily offended, so there is no way of telling him without him being upset. He is the lead singer in my husbands band and I dont want to cause any problems with the band. So I just try my best to avoid him without making it obvious. Which is pretty much impossible at times...
I wish I said no the first time he wanted to touch.

dp and his brothers aunt and dad do whenever i see them. One of his brothers actually kissed my belly once and dp told him off. Never strangers though. I have had many friends and people i know that im not overly close to ask to take photos of my belly though and that really gets to me.

Mum was the only one to touch my belly, but we used to rub our bellies together too. Lol.
I do find that EVERYONE thinks they can touch my baby though...

And always after their trips to the toilet in parents rooms no less. Grr.
