People Touching Your Belly

[AnyDream]

Haha maybe you girls should get some tattoos or piercings, nobody except my dp has tried to rub my bump, I think they are scared of me...I always hear ppl in my shop saying "that goth girls pregnant"...im not goth! Lol

Haha I just must be naturally scary looking without the piercings, no ever tried to touch my tum! LOL

OMG i have this problem with the MIL, one day she and FIL came over, they both came up to me and started rubbing my belly and talking to the baby!!!

i told them i don't like to be touched and they got very ****ed off about it.

when i went to work she spoke to DH about it, he said she doesn't like people touching her belly, she said but in the grandmother!!! and she's pregnant!!! of course people are going to touch her!!!

hahahahahh wel well well she aint touching my belly again ill make sure of itl

It is frustrating I think people forget that it's actually still your body even though there's a baby in there all of a sudden you seem to become public property (in their minds anyway)

Toomany - agreed!
Only two people so far have touched my belly without asking, and they are the only two people who could get away with it - they're not relatives, but special enough friends that I don't mind it.
No-one else has tried, but I wasn't really showing till recently and people we know probably think I'd be pr!ckly about it anyway, so haven't tried. They'd be right, too!!
A thing to try might be to act startled and jump back - then say it's taken you by surprise and you're feeling a bit sensitive lately...I don't think they'll be back to ask in a few weeks "are you still sensitive, can I touch", and if they are so bold as to do just that you just say "yes, it's gotten worse"!
