Belly touching!!
Show your support
You can ABSOLUTELY tell her not to, no questions asked. I can’t stand it when most people other than my partner touch my bump, even when they’ve asked and I’ve said yes but I’m trying really hard to create that boundary. There are certainnnn people I would absolutely roundhouse kick in the face for even trying so we’ll see how things go 🤣
100%! It’s your body and it’s going through a lot as it is, you need to feel in control! Personally I think you don’t need to even give a reason, it’s just common sense for people to ask before they touch your belly. I hate that soon as you become pregnant it’s like you’re supposed to just open your body to everyone else because there’s a baby there. You got this 💃🏼
Definitely! My MIL was the worst culprit and even after my husband made comments about it being weird that people kept touching my tummy she didn’t get the hint. In the end I just touched her tummy back and she flinched. She’s not done it since 😂
I just tell them to get off 🤣 I have allowed my mum, sister, grandma and friend to touch my belly just to see how hard it is but only a couple of people have touched my belly unwanted and I just said “get off!”
Definitely set that boundary if you feel you can! Could even just say I would REALLY appreciate it if you could ask before touching my belly! Could say it’s just some days you feel okay but some days being pregnant is making you feel so uncomfortable the physical touch is just too much for you! (This is if you don’t feel comfortable mentioning it’s a trigger) Hope she understands 💛 (could ask your partner to talk to her for you)
