i find it damn annoying, and have said something to all but one person who have tried it. i'm a very private person, and just get very antsy if my space is being intruded. the one person i didn't say anything to was a family friend i've known since i was a baby - she knows of what we've been through to get here and she was so excited to see us for the first time after we went public with the news we were pg - so she walked up and rubbed my tum. i did say something to my mum (it's her bestie) who mentioned it to her anyway.
the ONLY people allowed to touch me without asking first are DH, and my bro's three kids - they don't do it often, but if i'm gettin a snuggle from them, the littlest in particular, will rub my tum - no drama there
you're not alone in feeling annoyed by it i promise!
