I'm 20 weeks pregnant and I have a little bump and I'm just sick of people thinking they can come and stroke it whenever they feel like. It's not that big and I'm always bloated anyway. I'm not a touchy feely person so I get a little freaked out by it. I probably won't mind when I have a huge bump you can feel baby move through but at the minute there's not much to feel.
My grandmother is the biggest culprit, she always asks if I'm 'fat' yet and without warning rubs my tummy. I then have to back off and say no I'm not fat (I don't feel fat..). Today she asked if I had felt movement yet and I had to lie and say no not really I'm sure I will in the next few weeks. Although I haven't felt much movement anyway just a few things that are few and far between but nothing that's all the time. I felt bad, but, I didn't want her to see it as a pass to feel my 'fluttery' tummy just yet.
Am I being a bit precious or does anyone else not like it?
