Feel free to call me a cow, but am I being over the top in wanting people to respect my own personal space? I'm almost 24 weeks pregnant, and I am getting rather fed up with people patting my tummy / rubbing my tummy etc.
Firstly, it's toooooo hot to have people pawning over me. Secondly, I have never ever patted a pregnant woman's tummy before, and never expected anybody to do it to me! I don't mind my DH doing it, I encourage this, but only so he can be involved with the baby a bit more.
I'm going to a wedding on Friday and loads of DH's family will be there. How can I avoid being touched to the point where I growl in annoyance? Or am I being unreasonable in wanting people to at least ASK before they touch me!
Has anybody else felt like the minute they get a bump, it's a free for all in touching it, like a lucky Buddah or something?!
