I don't want anyone to touch me..

[EMS23]

I don't mean bump touchers, never really had that in this pregnancy or the last.
I mean my DH, my DSS8 & the dog! My DD20mths has to so I don't mind that but everyone else is just irritating me!
I'm 32 weeks, uncomfortable, achy hips etc.. but when they touch me, it makes me feel stabby.
Should I tell them at the risk of sounding like a misery or just grin and bear it?!

I was like that too!
Be as stabby and miserable as you like.

Me too. I've been like this the whole way through and I'm 31 weeks. The only person I don't mind touching me is my 4yo ds.

I'm really not the sort of person who enjoys pregnancy and this time feel like my body has been taken hostage in a way from the inside - so I can't handle people touching me on the outside too. Thankfully dp understands as it's unlike me.

Tell them (politely) :)

My DH would think I'm being mean if I tell my DSS not to cuddle me. The complexities of step parenting!

I did push my DH off me in the night a few times and then put a pillow btwn us.. He'll get the message!

I'm similar - DP is having to choose his moments very carefully if he wants a hug
and I'm finding DSS8 really annoying every morning especially if he wakes me up - then he comes up and gives the bump a kiss and all is forgiven.

the next 8 weeks cannot go quick enough
