Does this drive anyone else crazy?

Question

I'm 17w4d and have a baby bump starting. The other day someone randomly came up to me and started rubbing my stomach. It was the most awkward feeling ever. I didn't really know how to respond, but my mother said the look on my face said it all. Some of my friends said this never bothered them, but IMO it's completely ignorant to randomly start touching/rubbing someone that you hardly know. I'm ordering a couple of shirts for work this summer that warn people about touching the bump lol.

Answer

I'm almost 27 weeks and still haven't had a stranger touch my belly, but people keep telling me that it's going to happen. I'm just gonna put my hand right back on their belly and see if they like it lol

Answer

I've never had this happen. If it does, I'm rubbing theirs back and asking when they're due, they look like they could pop any day now 😊

Answer

I can't imagine why anyone would think it's okay to go up to a stranger and touch them without their permission. Like what if their tummy was a rounded beer gut or something? That would be so awkward 😂

Answer

What I did is put up a few funny memes on fb throughout the weeks about people touching the bump & stuff... That way my friends & family all knew not to touch it. That takes care of a good like 90% of people who would actually rub it. The rest... If u don't k kW them, just tell them not to do that.

I had my neighbor touch my stomach when I was 8 weeks & she was feeling waaaayyyy above my belly button as if the baby was up there. I said umm, the baby isn't up that high yet. You're just letting fat lol. And she stopped

Answer

I posted this meme on my Facebook the day it happened to prevent future unwanted belly rubs lol.
