Touching

Do you have many people touching your growing tummy? Does it bother you when people do it?
I'm just starting to show and already have a few people touching without asking first and i just want to punch them in the face... (i don't, just really want to).

Most people don't try but my friend started inviting everyone to touch my belly one time.  I was so annoyed.

I don't mind when people I know touch my belly. I feel like it's their way of connecting with him! However, I don't like when strangers touch my belly. Thankfully, this has only happened once or twice so far in my pregnancy (I'm 30+4).

I absolutely cannot stand to be touched while pregnant! I hated it when I wasnt so it's worst now. I'm not the touchy feely kind of person. At one point it was literally making me nasuas when someone touched me. I have tried being nice about it, posting it on fb that I feel like a petting zoo/freak show, etc...I don't know what else to do. They have even made announcements about it at work that touching is a no no because of people touching the pregnant women and them seeing them.

I never had a stranger touch me I would not be happy at all if they did, but I'm in California and people aren't as friendly around here haha. I don't mind family and close friends touching unless its excessive. I don't mind if you touch but I don't want you hanging on my belly all day either. My husband was bad about touching all the time and I showed him how to feel where the baby was once and took that as permission to push on my belly all the time. I understand we are married and I don't have issues with him being close or touching me but shees sometimes I'm not in the mood to be touched and I don't need you pushing on my belly and bladder all the time..
