Rub-a-dub-dub - I’m the weird one.

One complaint I have heard over and over from pregnant women is that they hate it when people rub their bellies. Some people don’t mind friends/family, some people don’t want any rubbing at all, and most of all they hate strangers doing it….

But NOT ME! I love it! Anyone and everyone is always welcome to rub my belly! No need to ask permission! I went looking on my message boards for others who feel like me…nobody responded, so I guess I’m unique on this. But to me, it’s sweet, and I don’t feel invaded at all. My co-workers take every opportunity to rub belliot!

Personally, I am pretty conservative w/ rubbing other peoples bellies - And wouldn’t dream of doing it to a stranger, but there are plenty of people out there who are willing…I think it’s kinda funny that they feel comfortable doing it to someone they don’t know, but it’s only b/c they love pregnant women & think that the baby inside is special. I’ve wanted to be pregnant for a while, and now that I’m showing, it’s fun to have people notice & take a rub. ;-)

    Yep, you‘re unusual. I can‘t imagine letting someone touch me like that. I get the shudders just thinking about it! Perhaps I‘ll feel differently should the day come, but I doubt it. I will still accept hugs, though. :D

    your right. I didnt care much for people rubbing my belly. But I think it was on account of my lack of confidence in my physique. When you gain 40+ lbs. your first pregnancy, your kind of afraid people are going to get more than they bargained for when they rub your belly. Anyways, that‘s just me. I LOVE rubbing pregnant bellys though. I always have to remind myself how much I disliked it when I find myself rubbing friends (not strangers) pg bellys.
