Anyone else with a toddler feel like they need a protective cage around their tummy?

[mamakim]

My ds keeps whacking it with the tv remote, pinching it, climbing all over it! Oh and i've just noticed my tummy's gone really hairy! Ugh, what's that all about?

hi, how old is your ds?

can you tell him not to touch tummy, will he understand? my ds is 29 months and is really gentle towards my bump now, but took a while of coaching and a few trips to gp after a few bumps and wacks... was told baby is well protected...

as for hairy tummy, i hear you he he! i had the same with ds and this one, 16 weeks i went for a wax and all gone... they say it's a sign of a boy? do you know what you are having?

ha! dd is a great one for elbowing me painfully in the bump (and boobs come to think about it...especially excuciating in the first trimester ) when she is cuddling up to read a book with me
have to keep telling her off...not sure if it's sinking in yet

He's only 15 months so doesn't have a clue what's in there! I just try and stay on guard but he's quick! I don't know what i'm having but i don't remember it being this hairy with ds! Maybe a gorilla?

I have the hair too. I shaved my legs 2 weeks ago and no growth at all! It's all gone to my tummy!

Have 2 (preschool and toddler) and if it's not one it's the other. Although to be fair I'm only 10 weeks and hven't said anything yet!

oh yes every time I have been pg apart from with ds obviously have felt like this. DDs both going through a kicking phase at the min[not in a nasty way] but target seems to be my tummy..hoping it will stop with dd1[2.10yrs] at least when I tell her there is a baby in there after the scan in 2wks.

my dd is 3 years 3 months she was bad with my tummy 2 begin with i am 30 weeks now and she kisses it lots and strokes and sings to it.
if she is mean to bump i tell her off

For me its not so much toddlers i have to worry about knocking into my bump, it's bloody adults when i go out shopping!! I'm 33 weeks, huge and no one seems to see me! lol it gets right on my nerves lol.
Altho my lovely little 10mnth old brother likes to be abit rough near his nethew 2 be, it cant be helped but i tend not to let him near my tummy xx
