Hear hear, it's harassment! We are taught that any unwanted touching is considered harassment, so why do people assume it's ok to touch a pregnant woman?
Paulwilson, as someone else said, until after 12 weeks or more the baby is still within the pelvis, so your wife was just happily having strangers paw at her belly fat. Lovely. Anyways, even if she is ok with strangers touching her, do you agree that anyone should just have the right to touch yr pregnant wife?! Or other pregnant women? Wtf, it SHOULD be considered harassment if it's unwanted. Ask first, by all means, but be prepared for a firm and resounding NO less we are very close friends.
