Hands Off The Belly
Every pregnant woman gets used to being stared at, but sometimes those same people also want to touch. And that's where a lot of expectant moms want to draw the line.

It's probably a good time to politely establish some personal boundaries as after the baby is born you'll have to deal with people wanting to touch/hold the baby.

I have a 5 month old baby now, and when I was pregnant with him I had a lot of people wanting to touch my belly. For the most part I was ok with it, but sometimes I just needed my space. When I did need that hands off time I would just tell the person that my belly wasn't feeling good (which happened at times), or that it wasn't a good day to touch baby. That was with friends and my church family... with strangers I only had to deal with the touching thing a couple of times and I let them, almost reluctantly, because what do you say when they ask so politely? I think if I didn't trust the person asking I would have said no thank you... most of the time it was just lots of people staring or giving smiles though.

I am expecting my first child in about 3 weeks, I have been trying for about 8 years to have a baby so I find myself constantly touching my belly in awe and am perfectly happy with it. Although I dont really want strangers groping me, as I am sure all moms agree that is just weird, I do however have no problem with people I know touching my belly. I think this is because I am so proud that I finally did it, this is my biggest achievement and, like a trophy, I want everyone to be just as proud of this as I am, and so I enjoy their awe and tummy rubs as much as I enjoy doing it myself. :)

I am a young teacher and expecting my first baby. The other teachers and staff are always commenting on my growing belly. Most have been pretty good at not touching it. The students however, are very curious and are always reaching out for my belly. I have swatted hands, backed away, and threatened them. I've even patted their belly if they actually touched mine. I can do this to the kids, but I feel disrespectful if i ask an adult not to touch me.
