!!! Awesome idea!!!

Just stand there and put your hand on their boob and continue talking as if nothing's out of the ordinary...

TBH I think it depends who it is and what sort of mood I'm in. Over here (I'm in the US atm) it's most likely to be older women, which I don't mind so much....If it's some random dude or a younger girl, something like that, I think I'd feel a bit more uncomfortable.. If I did feel uncomfortable I'd either just wait it out and then complain to DH once they'd left (lol) or if it was really awkward I'd move away...

I won't handle it either, to me this is something very personal for me and OH to experience! With DD no complete strangers did it, but loads and loads of work colleagues. I don't mind if a friend or family members asks, but if thjey don't ask and just touch it drives me mad! If any stranger comes near my bump they will find out I don't like it. I found it even worse when strangers came to touch my newborn baby in the face.. it so happened at the check out in toysrus, I think my OH is still emberrassed today for what I told that women!

Thank you for your answers.. I've never been one to confront or stand my ground so I will probably just wait it out and moan about them later.

Although I have now found a tee shirt that may help...

love the shirt! might get one of those... do they do little outfits for newborns too? saying something like "don't touch my face"

i have seen quite a few variations on that tshirt and was going to mention it if it was people i knew i don't think i'd mind so much but complete strangers? i would find that weird. i find it strange when strangers start talking to my best mate about her new baby as it is. i like my life to be private and people asking questions and expecting answers seems a bit strange to me...

When i was pregnant with Hollie i didnt get many strangers touching my bump. I had a few work people that i didnt know that well touching it, but to be honest i didnt really mind! I was very proud of my bump! x

Ahhhh so that explains why when I was ttc I seemed to have a magnetic forcefield around me attracting pregnant ladies - they were whoring their bumps!

i can't imagine ppl doing that here, it's just inappropriate
family can touch it, friends too but i know that even they will ask before they actually touch it

first one who touches without asking... i pity that person

I havnt really had anyone touch my bump lol. Friends and family do it which i dont mind, i do mind however when they ask me to lift my top up so they can 'see' it. I dont know why just because im pregnant people expect me to just basicly take my top off for them xx

My friend said that she got SO fed up with complete strangers feeling like they had the right to touch her belly when she was pregnant. Friends and family I don’t mind (to a certain point) but strangers can bugger off! I only touched my friends bump when she asked me to feel it because the baby was moving, I would never have just dreamt of giving it a grope without asking or being asked.

I am not the most tolerant person anyway, I do not like the general public as a rule and I do not like people invading my personal space and telling me what to do so I think this is going to be a real problem for me. However I also have no problem speaking my mind and telling people exactly what I think so fireworks may fly by time I’ve had a few people do it!

I was considering getting one of these T Shirts so that when I get really fed up with it I can just wear that and hope people get the message



Hahahaha great minds think alike Kacie you must’ve posted that while I’ve been typing this out.

One thing is for sure I certainly won’t smile and bear it – if someone has annoyed me I will tell them in no uncertain terms.
