PS...make this my polite way of telling all of you that I do not want my belly being touched! If and when you see me!
I am not trying to be mean...it is just a personal preference that I have...and I do not feel comfortable with sranger, family, or friend touching my belly...it really freaks me out!

The next time someone tries to touch your belly, I think you should do the same to them and ask them when they are due. No matter how skinny or fat, young or old they are, reach towards their stomach and say, "I'm due May 19th. When is your little precious baby due?"
At least that would be funny. I'm not sure how to stop people from touching your belly altogether. Other than to make sure you look skanky and dirty every time you go out, so people think they'll catch a disease if they touch you.
Rachel is soooo funny! Sweetie, I don't know how to keep people from doing that other than just telling them not to. This has always been a problem--people just seem to be fascinated with pregnant bellies. This happens to every pregnant woman.
I can't wait to see you tomorrow! I'll try to remember not to touch your belly! ;-)
Love you!
You crack me up! Kristen is a very "touch me not" type person and she says that she has a bubble around her and that is her personal space and she doesn't want anyone to invade HER personal space. I guess when people talk to you, you could just start backing up! haha Good luck!
i like rachel's ideas. i have a few others -
a. punch their stupid lights out.
b. have josh drop kick them.
c. wear something around your belly that will electrocute them when they touch you.
d. find a shirt similar to the cartoon you posted and buy 7 of them - one for each day of the week.
e. walk around with your hands folded around your stomach so you can slap their hands away when they go for the tum tum...
f. that's all i have for now. this is such an exciting time! i don't know why people do it, but they do... try not to let it bother you!
I have to say I have no advice for you - It happened to me as well and I have no clue what to do or say. I'm SO non confrontational so I just learned to deal with it. Just wait til you're out in public and some random person touches your baby's hands/face! I had a friend who turned to find a lady with her finger in her baby's mouth!!! This is just the beginning! :) Hope you're feeling well! Merry Christmas!
Oh Amanda...other than telling them not to touch, or slapping their hand away...I have no idea what to tell you! It is just the beginning though! I have not had a stranger try to touch me and I don't mind when my family/friends do it (most of the time) but they usually ask....hate to say it but you are just going to have to be blunt with them and say no...like you would a child :) good luck girl and Merry Christmas!!!
I agree with Jane. Back up when they are asking you when you are do, apologize and explain that you have space issues.
I dunno, but Rachel might be on to something... just skank it up. ;) No one will go near ya! I also like the idea of backing up. Just the picture of you doing that, in my mind, cracks me up!
I never really minded if someone touched the baby belly because most people stayed clear :)
i'm suffering from some major "keeping up with the dishmons" update withdrawals.... no updates on visitors? or on a song of the week! woman! get on it! :)
I have no experience with this yet. If I were to come up with something I would say, as someone reaches for your stomach, you reach out and shake their hand and say nice to meet you.
It will take them off guard. If they reach again then shake their hand again. Maybe they will get the idea.
