Re: If one more person...

  • Seriously!  I've been with lots of my preggo friends and cannot BELIEVE the nerve of acquaintances, coworkers, and even STRANGERS!  Just because you have a belly does not mean that it's OK for them to rub it!  So, yeah.  I feel for you.

    Maybe you should rub their bellies?  It might at least freak them out a little? 

  • What!?! I didn't know that ppl do that, esp ppl you don't know well, or even strangers! I mean, I can see my family and best friends do that and I wouldn't mind that...but random ppl?!? Weird. I guess at least I'll know to be on guard when this belly of mine stops looking like a beer gut and more like a baby...

  • I haven't had any strangers do it but a lot of co-workers do it and it's starting to drive me crazy.  I guess they're starting now because I actually have a big, round belly, as opposed to the little pooch I had for the longest time. 

    Last night one of my friends put her hand out and told me to come so she could rub my belly and I covered it and said "No!  No more rubbing the belly!" in a joking way so she'd get the hint.  

    It's really just starting to creep me out!

  • I have a confession - I don't mind when people rub my belly.  I thought it would bug me, but most people have asked before the do it. 

    What I dislike is when my friend rubs my belly, then turns be around to see if my butt has gotten bigger. 

  • I probably wouldn't mind it as much if they asked first but no one ever does.  And I think it irked me the most when my one friend kept rubbing my belly several times in one night at work and not just a quick rub.  She would keep rubbing it and it kinda just creeped me out.  I think she's just living vicariously through me (she's young - 24 - but thinks she doesn't have much time, plus she doesn't even have a bf and has never even kissed a guy.)

  • LOL other than Ben, I've only had one person do this - she's someone I've known for a while and is a nursing (midwife) student, so I don't mind so much when she does it. If someone random did it to me though? No touchy!!!

    Haha, this!  I don't think I'd have the nerve to touch anyone's belly unless it was someone I was really close to.  Even then, I think I'd ask first.

  • Just wait until the baby is out and strangers touch THE BABY!!
