My MIL rubbed mine once and I must have given her a weird look as she hasn't done it again, when people do it its usually so out of the blue that its a bit of a shock - but raising your eyebrows and asking "Are you right there?" usually does the trick.........
The other thing I read in a pregnancy magazine which I'd love to see say is "I'm not a Genie, so feel free NOT to rub me" LMAO
We have a newsletter at our work which we all contribute too, so I wrote a small funny article about the pro's and con's of being pregnant with one of the con's being "People rubbing my belly, the next person who rubs it will get a belly rub back, don't dare me" and I have been left alone at work since. Although it was written in a funny context, the message was still there
i haven't reached this stage yet, but i'm not looking forward to it - i'm a bit weird about people touching me normally, let alone something quite personal!
i'm still getting used to people peering at my belly once they know to see if i am showing - i've spent years trying to hide the fact that i had a belly anyways & now people staring at it makes me feel so weird! it's like i forget i have an excuse now
