really annoyed with people touching/ staring at my belly?

Buy one of those shirts that says "yes, I'm pregnant, it's a __ No, you can't touch my belly!"

I feel like this is the way it always is for women when they are pregnant. Then once u have ur baby everyone will be staring at him and wanting to touch him. I understand why u would find it annoying but I dont think u can stop it without being a little rude. U can ask them to stop...that's about it. Good luck.

I feel the same way. I only feel comfortable if my husband touches it too. since some people can;t resist getting grabby with pregnant bellies. They really should ask because normally you would never just go up and touch someones belly but for whatever reason people forget about boundaries when your pregnant. The way I've handled it is to either turn when someone reaches out and put my hands on my belly or I will touch their belly back. They usually get the message, especially when I touch their belly back and it leaves them with this confuses priceless look on their faces.

Definitely let people know how you're feeling. If you don't like being touch try and tell them in a way that's not offensive. People should respect that though because if you weren't pregnant that would just be awkward...When people try to rub your belly say you're feeling nauseous and don't feel like being touched. You're pregnant they should understand.

As for the staring people will think you're rude if you tell them to stop staring at you. I would just ignore that part and be grateful for the attention even if it is a bit overwhelming.

I'm 15 weeks and im showing too. Idk i LOVE my belly being touched but when strangers like look at me and stuff it gets me feeling really fat and i cant stand it. I feel really uncomfortable. Maybe your just not ok with showing that much affection there is nothing wrong with that, the next time they do it, just say hey, its realy hot, and im really uncomfortable, could you not do that please? Its not a big deal :)

It really annoyed me when I was pregnant I ended up snapping at them and telling them to go away it's my baby bump not yours!

If it is strangers, I perfectly understand. However, with your boyfriend, there is an issue. If he is indeed the father then he understandably will be excited and this is a good thing. My wife used to make me feel her belly every five seconds. I had to be there for every kick etc...

I think you have some commitment or other issues that are manifesting themselves.

It's called personal space. You know they talk about irritability when you are pms-ing. Well consider pms heightened. Try saying this when they come to touch you, " not right now, I don't feel well" or "please don't, not now"

no you are not the only person with this problem. most every pregos person i know hates it. but you can say politely can you please not touch me i dont like to be touched.
