All Hands on Baby
Article Source: HealthSnare.com
We all want to touch the baby, especially throughout the pregnancy but no one each and every asks. If you haven't noticed however, the minute you start to show the tummy everyone else will happily show you. The tummy becomes this magnet for hands as well as everyone wants to handle it. It doesn't matter if you are walking around in a store, sitting down in a restaurant or even walking on your own street, someone is bound to start rubbing all over it.
You aren't the only one that is being driven nuts by this either, take a look at your spouse. Sure he seems like a trooper but deep inside he's probably ready to put someone's lighting out. Talk with your husband and find out how he feels. Even though you don't mind, he might not like other men's hands on you. He may not care if it's a female touching your body but he can mind about a man. Think about how you would really feel if you saw some woman rubbing her hands all over your husband's chest. Maybe the two of you can come to an contract, after all do you have to let everyone touch the baby?
Your belly, clothed or not is a personal room, sure there is someone intruding inside you but that person within welcome. But to actually touch someone else's belly one should request before they do it as well as respect your answer. If you don't would like them to touch it, tell them. While some women don't mind all the attention, there are other women that do not want their belly's touched, let alone them to be showing for the entire world to see. Maybe they have gained 10 pounds and feel conscious enough about this, or they could be a very private person.
Children may also wish to touch the belly, normally it is because they know someone that has had a baby and they were able to do it. If you don't like it, let them know. If you do not mind, you may want to place their own hand on your belly. Children tend to get excited and also smack the belly when they're trying to reach for it.
Overlook the rubbing the belly for a moment, be careful that you don't get the person who likes to poke at it. That hurts more than anything and half the time they don't get it. Attempt explaining to them as properly as you can that it hurts. They might only be doing it simply because they want to see the baby move and when you jump they just think it is part of the pregnancy reaction. They may think twice before doing it once again to you or anyone else.
If nothing else seems to work as well as you've been polite in allowing people know that your belly is off limits, feel free to sick your husband on them or even start swatting. You've already given fair warning. Don't feel bad should you smack a person that lifts up your shirt in broad daylight either. This is a normal reaction and people should really think twice before doing it. They wouldn't do it if you weren't pregnant.
