belly touching.

[rjb]

i don't even have a belly yet
and my friends insist on rubbing my tummy
and cooing at it
and it drives me CRAZY.

My siblings do this. It's actually really starting to bother me

i know.
i mean.
to me, my pregnancy is a super personal thing
and i feel like they're intruding on it sometimes.
it's still my personal space..

 

[LoveAlways,]

I feel the same exact way!
Like even when I was in school, some of the more supportive teachers would be handing out papers or something and look my stomach and smile.. it was really creepy because they're looking down so it's like they COULD be looking at your stomach, but they could be looking at something else... you know? 0.o
I lost all my friends with this pregnancy, because they think it's disgusting and well, weird. But my family does it, too.

The only person that has been obsessed with touching my belly is my older sister.
I think it's just that she's really excited about it, but I find it really annoying as well.

Just try to not let it bother you, i'm sure they don't mean to make you feel uncomfortable.

I think every pregnant woman gets irritated by this hun I've had complete strangers in the market come up and touch my belly and ask what I'm having I don't mind my friends really, I've gotten to used to every time I walk into a room my belly seems attract every hand within a 10 mile radius. It seems like my friends will have complete conversations with my belly at times lol It just shows that they're excited about your LO. But if it really bothers you then just tell people politely that you're not comfortable with it, it's your belly after all xxxx

Yeah some old bitty at the market touched my stomach. Normally I'd threaten to break their hand but she was old.....urgh I hate when strangers do it!

Haha yeah it's always the little old ladies! I just try to think of it as something my own nan would do and not let it bother me. But it is rather annoying!

Since I am not showing yet, no issues here with the stranger thing. Only my closest friends know, and they (thankfully) seem to have no interest in it. yet. However, I suppose when my bump is defiante this will became more of an issue. Thanks for letting me know I have something to look forward too.

My friends typically ask me before they touch my belly...so that doesn't bother me that much, and my family keeps their distance from me. I think it'ss cause I yell alot now.

But I have yet to have a problem with strangers...that would bother me greatly...I don't generally like people touching me at all, let alone strangers who are attracted to my bump....really freaking creepy if you ask me...

 

[newmommy23]

Seriously how is it socially acceptable for strangers to touch my baby through my stomach? Um no >.>
And even close friends ask me. I can get a little vicious about the bump I may be a tad bit overprotective

 

[MommyGrim]

Imagine what you'll be like when she's actually here!

Edit: I love your pic btw, that is an adorable top! =D

 

[newmommy23]

aw ty doll I got it today in my shopping spree lol. And I imagine I'll be similar to a mother bear?

 

[bbyno1]

i have to admit beofre i was ever pregnant and my mums friends used to come round my house pregnant i would soo wanna touch their bellys lol but i didnt just incase they didnt want me to.
but now everyone's touching mine without a thought or thinking wether i might want them to or not lol

i think they are only being nice and showing interest but yeah it does get too much sometimes x

 

[lushious09]

i dont like anyone touching my belly other then babys dad... my friends always insiste and even my friends friends willjust grab it ... what the hell do you say! one of my mates ended up putting their ear to it and got kicked! i was like well dont do it then!

 

[rainbows_x]

I don't really mind friends/family touching my belly, but strangers? That's just odd!
x

 

[rjb]

it just makes me uncomfortable.
especially since i don't even have a tummy yet.
but i don't like being touched much in general.
unless its from my bf or something i don't even give many hugs..
