Are you okay with people touching your belly?

Question

My MIL keeps asking to let her know when baby moves so that she can touch and I keep trying to avoid it. I find it really awkward when someone other than my hb wants to feel the baby. (We live away from my family so idk how it would be with them). Is it just me?

Answer

Family? Yes. Strangers? Absolutely not!!

Answer

No Noone unless it's my husband or my child. I'm very uncomfortable with people touching me in general. Also I don't like being asked about my pregnancy so for all of my first 2 pregnancy I didn't let anyone know until 8 months or so  for this third pregnancy its going to be tha same but they knew not to ask me about it after that. Also it helps alot that I don't show until about 8 months.

Answer

My family and his family touch my belly! I also have some really close coworkers that always rub my belly! But I would probably freak out if a random creep touched my belly! But I’m at the stage where people don’t know if I’m pregnant or just gaining weight🤣🤣

Answer

Not a stranger, but I’m okay with people I know doing it. I understand they are just as happy has I am and it feels good knowing that....but I’m weird 🤣🤣🤣

Answer

My last pregnancy I let my dad feel baby kicks. I don’t have a problem as long as people ask (they tend not to). I’ve had a random stranger touch my belly with my first and was horrified!!

Answer

Depends on who it is . Some random person , no . Family would be fine .

Answer

I'm usually okay with it if they ask first. But really only close family or close friends. Most of these days I don't even want my husband touching me (33weeks pregnant now). I just want this over with and want to meet my baby lol. 
That being said, with my first I worked in retail and the amount of strangers who thought it's okay to approach and touch is crazy.. I've literally slapped people's hands away.

Answer

SO MANY people don't bother asking! For those people, I've stopped saying anything--I just reach out and touch their belly in return without breaking eye contact. Does the job. 🤣

Answer

The only person I want touching my belly is my husband. I get that people in my family want to feel  her kick but I hate being touched. When my mom asks me to tell her when she’s kicking I say yes I will but I just never tell her. I think it’s better than hurting her feelings telling her I don’t want her touching me.

Answer

i don't care if family does it, including my fiancés family (they always ask first though). strangers? absolutely not but luckily i haven't had any strangers try to
