Strangers rubbing your belly

Are okay with total strangers coming up to you and rubbing your belly?

Re: Strangers rubbing your belly

It would be innappropriate for them to rub your belly if you were NOT pregnant. Having a baby isn't license to grope under any circumstances. My response:

Not total strangers but I don't mind co-workers and people I sort of know rubbing it.

Re: Strangers rubbing your belly

That was my least favorite part of pregnancy. HATED it.
I didn't even like when people I knew did it. Made me really uncomfortable.Chat Icon

Chat Icon No.......it drives me INSANE!! Especially early on when I had no belly. I don't know why people feel the need to touch you. So weird!!!

Re: Strangers rubbing your belly

Not PG yet, but I always ask first. For instance, there's a teacher at my school that I'm not REALLY close with, but I asked her first if I could touch.

AND, I don't ask perfect strangers--I'll just admire from afar. Chat Icon Chat Icon

I've been warned by friends, but this hasn't happened to me yet. I'm probably jinxing myself by saying this! Chat Icon

Re: Strangers rubbing your belly

Ya know just a few inches higher and the "stranger" belly rub becomes an assault punishable by law. It is simply not acceptable to me. I don't get it.
