How do you feel about people touching your belly?

Question

Answer

Random strangers are absolutely not allowed to touch me. Family and friends usually can if they ask first.

Answer

People in our family I have no problem but if some random person did or tried they would get their hand smacked away from me

Answer

Some people literally poke and shake my belly to feel the baby move and it’s the most annoying thing. They do it to the point that it hurts. Like damn can I not just sit on the couch without you violently shaking my belly the whole time. Personal space is so important to me though so maybe it’s just me lol

Answer

I voted don’t care but thats actually probably not true haha. I don’t care when my parents/ in laws, siblings or husband obviously do it because I’m very close with them all. I also have a very close group of friends who it wouldn’t bother me.  Anyone else yes I probably would be annoyed. Especially if I didn’t like their energy haha

Answer

My parents and husband can do that whenever they want. I’d like friends to ask it first, because it feels very intimate and I want to be prepared for that. Only close friends I would allow. The rest of the world is a definite no, but I’m 11 weeks and they are already start touching. With my first pregnancy I let it happen, but now I will tell them bc it really doesn’t feel fine.

Answer

It depends on who it is, family is fine, close friends are fine, but aquatint’s are a definitely no.

Answer

Yeah my BOSS did this during my first pregnancy... not sure how I’ll react if she does it again this time ...

Answer

I don’t have that big of a bump yet but I know it will be an issue for me. I think I will be okay with friends and family doing it but random people are an absolute no. I’m a huge believer in personal space and not touching someone without their consent. (I used to work retail and had random customers reach out and touch my hair, my arm, etc.) Only problem is I don’t know how to tell strangers not to touch my belly. I’m scared of people and how they might react 😰

Answer

I find it odd. I would never think to just touch someone, pregnant or not. But no one has touched my belly but my husband. I guess it's not a thing in my family, which I'm 100% okay with.

Answer

Don’t mind it, it actually makes me happy. Maybe cause it’s my first though?
