strangers touching your pregnant belly

I used to hate that when I was pregnant. I worked as a server through most of my pregnancy and I would hate it when random people would touch my belly. I can tolerate family and close friends but anyone else would drive me crazy.

When you are pregnant it is like people can't help but do that. I use to tell them not to touch me that I didn't like to be touched, and though somewhat rude of me, it worked, and people wouldn't touch. It is your body and out of respect, people should ask before touching.

I have never just taken it upon myself to touch someones pregnant belly, and to me, it is astonishing that anyone would think that is appropriate. Everyone deserves to have their personal space respected and there is even a commercial on T.V. about that. I certainly would tell people to back off if I were in that situation.

honestly, i wouldn't tolerate it one bit! I am one not to invade someone's personal space and I would think i'm harassing that person, UNLESS that person takes my hand and brings it to her belly. I am 5 months pregnant now, and if someone did that to me, i would tell them nicely to back off (if they didn't mean any harm.. esp. friends and family). if it were strangers, i'd push their hands away. Seriously, i would. You have the right to feel offended.. even if they didn't mean to offend you.

It iis alright for some people to touchyour belly, but don't let every do it. There are too many people out there with bad spirits, and you dont want them to affect your baby. just be careful
