I need some polite ways of telling people I don't like my stomach to be touched.
I've been gritting my teeth so far and am now 28 + weeks and totally getting fed up with it.
No one ever asks me if its ok that they touch they just go in for the kill and it's too late for me to say no.
Yesterday was the worst, my husbands family were round and my mil basically mauled me all day even going as far as to poke at me to 'get the baby to move' and grab quite hard so she could feel where certain body parts were - I did say quite sharply he's probably sleeping just now - it was horrible but I couldn't figure out a way to ask her to stop without seeming rude.
I know she's being rude to do it in the first place but I'm not very good at standing up for myself with certain people.
Help!!
