My friend's DH asked to feel my Belly...

So my friend's DH asked if he could feel my belly to feel the baby move.

I am just not comfortable with this. I have always had "personal space" issues, and the idea of another guy (besides my DH) touching my belly kind of skeeves me.

How can I politely say "no" without offending him? Today I told him that I can barely feel the baby so there's no way that he would be able to, but that's not really true!

Oh- boy- well at least he asked- Some people just go right ahead !!! Maybe just say something cute like "Sorry, this area is under construction !" or "Sorry, this is a no-fly zone authorized personell only" ...this way its a light hearted no- but he gets the point

Sounds like you handled it initially-- but, can you talk to your friend and tell her how uncomfortable it makes you?

I know it's awkward when someone asks, and you don't want them to touch. My stepdad asked to touch mine and honestly, my belly is not that big still- and this was like a month ago. I felt that that was kinda inappropriate to have him touch my belly. I just said, would you normally touch my belly-- and he said no. So, I said-- there you go. I did say, when it's bigger you can, just to placate him-- but, I am not into anyone touching!!!

You would hate working in my school! I have random teenagers, some that I don't even know, coming up to me and touching my belly all the time. I would love to figure out a nice way to stop it, but the kids in my school can be very sensitive and have no boundaries.
