Do you ever have random people come up to you and try to touch your belly?

Question

I heard it happened to pregnant women a lot in public.

Answer 1

omg. its crazy some ppl just don't know there limits i have also had this problem i just tell ppl i would prefer you not touch me  

Answer 2

Yes!  It was frustrating!  I actually had one older woman that didn't even ask and just came at me with her hands out!  I read a great article on it from www.parents.com and tried it once after reading it.  They suggested if someone asks to touch your belly and you don't want them to, ask to touch theirs.  I had another stranger ask this at a gas station and the look on her face was priceless.

Answer 3

WHAT THE h**l is a matter with you.

Answer 4

My best friend actually had some lady that she'd never seen before in her life LIFT UP HER SHIRT and start rubbing.  She was like "what the h**l!"

My cousin has had this happen several times in her pregnancies.  Like some lady came up to her at her work and did a full belly sweep on her from the bottom up.  ......   doesn't that get a little close to the private zone?  :P  

Being pregnant does not give people permission to invade the personal bubble!  lol  I bought a shirt that says "You touchy, I bitey" when I got pregnant.  But I think that's more of an invitation than a back away shirt because people seem to want to test whether or not I will actually bite them for trying...

Answer 5

No not really common unless you live in New York or Los Angeles. But if you go to a department store randomly shop it would be weird if someone did. So no they don't.

Answer 6

My last pregnancy more than this one. Most people this time actually ask permission.

Answer 7

It does happen a lot! As if it somehow becomes okay because you are pregnant. Maybe pregnant women should go around touching bald heads.
