I find it uncomfortable if random people just swoop on in and poke and rub away! I've never turned down anyone that's asked me, I just find it weird and a bit creepy to touch without permission. My husband, my mother, and my sister are allowed to touch without asking, but that's about it! I’m eight months along, and I don’t mind people rubbing my belly as long as they ask first.

I wanted to wear a shirt that said, "It's okay to pat the baby belly" because I know that people are so sensitive about it these days. It didn't matter who would give me a little pat...I always got such joy out of it. www.creaturebug.com *patting your belly*

Like "Hey, that's my very own tummy whether or not there's a baby in it." I can see both perspectives, though... I think for me it was that I have such a very personal space bubble.

Not ever getting the chance to have a baby of my own, I liken myself to Jennifer Garner's character in Juno when she feels the baby kick. It's a total bring-you-to-tears-in-awe kinda moment.. and as close as some of us ever get to the real thing. http://www.coloradodentons.blogspot.com/ I would never pat a belly without permission.. and I only ask ladies that I know well.

I always prepared myself for it, not that I predicted I'd mind too much, but alas, not many pats for me. I agree with many commentors - there's a difference between a woman or child versus a man.
