Anyone else bothered by people just coming up and rubbing your belly?

I've been having this happen lately and where as I used to be a sometime belly rubber myself (even though I'd always ask 1st) now that I'm on the other side, I CAN'T STAND IT when people just automaticaly assume it's ok to rub my belly (withOUT asking)! Chat Icon

Is it not still my body? I mean, why not just grab my butt or a boob while you're at it??

Block eM!!

I used to have my arms crossed as much as possible in public or at my job so i could block or give off body language HANDS OFF!!!!

I only got violated one time at the dr's office by a special needs patient.

Even my family used to ask to touch me. I used to tell people watch out i biteChat Icon

ETA: think of it as practice to keep germy strangers paws off your child!

They have! Granted it was News Years and there was LOTS of drinking involved for them, but two friends grabbed my boobs after commenting how big they got!

When my friends rub my belly, I could care less. I've only had one stranger do it and it did freak me out.

Re: Anyone else bothered by people just coming up and rubbing your belly?

I dont like when people (other than DH) touch me and I am not pregnant. I would be easily skeeved if random people tried to touch me if I was pregnant. I am not a germophobe or anything like that. Im just big on personal space.

I don't mind if its family or friends, but ask first. If a stranger did it, I think I'd be pretty skeeved out!

I dont mind it so much now but I think if I dont lose the baby belly right away and someone rubs it then, I might bite them Chat Icon
