Rude or not?

Question

I'm 33 weeks pregnant and my mom constantly is grabbing and rubbing my belly. It's becoming irritating. I just want to yell at her. Well today she grabbed my belly and said "I bet it's annoying when people grab your belly all the time." So I responded, "Yeah it is.. You're really the only one who does it." It was definitely passive aggressive I just wanted to tell her to stop with out full saying "don't touch me anymore. Was I being rude? 😂

Answer

In some states it's now illegal for people to touch a pregnant woman's belly without her permission;)

Answer

Not at all, I don't want anyone touching me ! They made it illegal in a state to touch a pregnant woman's belly without her consent

Answer

I love only my mom and my daughter dad touching my belly but I really love when my mom does it because she talks to her and tells her she loves her and that she can't wait to meet her it's a really beautiful thing because I want her to know nana voice and have a special bond with her

Answer

Some grandmas get a little too excited. But just let her know not to touch it all the time because you already feel uncomfortable being pregnant naturally, extra hands don't help.

Answer

No! When i was pregnant with my daughter, I literally smacked my moms hand away from my belly. I just had to do it with my aunt not too long ago. I hate my belly being touched. If you dont want someone to touch it, tell them!

Answer

Nope, it's your body... I absolutely HATE being touched by anyone but my SO or little kids unless it's a greeting hug or handshake, and I'm only 16w and my SO's aunt touches my stomach and comments on the size, the last time I was wearing a new maternity shirt and she grabbed my tummy and was like " wow you really started showing this week" but it was only because of the shirt... I said "NO it's just my fat, and please stop touching me" and got super offended at first.. Then a couple days later she apologized thru a text .... Now everyone knows not to grab my tummy.

Answer

Unless you rather have a cranky mother that bitches at you and hardly pays attention to the baby and doesn't get near or touches your belly? Lol.. If that's what your asking for lol.

Answer

Is this your mom's first grandchild? Maybe shes excited.. Does sound a little rude but other people have different opinions. I love my mom and she always touches my belly since its her first grand baby and shes totally excited and loves my baby girl to death! Maybe your mom is just excited and loves her grand baby a lot.

Answer

it's your body! no one gets to touch without your permission. I'd start practicing laying boundaries with her, because it could be good practice for potentially having to stand up to her about issues regarding baby when s/he comes. the more you practice, the more graceful you become at it, and it can be a really positive thing.. good luck!

Answer

I don't like it either unless it's my husband. My mom was always trying to rub my belly like I'm the Buddha, in the car,  in the grocery store,  watching a movie,  all the time. Finally  I said please don't touch my belly, I just dont like it at all. She was fine with it.
