Wow.
Shyrley's quite pregnant looking. She says she always shows early. It was
nice to hang out with her, and her so frequently doing that fingertip belly
massage thing.
Good, Laura! I hope it goes smoothly throughout.

I think that might be one the difference between the states and this side of the ocean Shyrley.
I've been pregnant twice *so far*. ;o) My first pregnancy 8 1/2 years ago now was in England and
I can't remember how many people wanted to feel my belly, just to many to remember. <g>
I was preggie with dd a year later here in the states and it wasn't near as much fun being around people. :oO

I've heard several time that it's rude to touch a pregnant womens belly.
To keep my hands to myself. I've also heard this on elists too. ;-)

I didn't mind people touching me when I was pregnant. I thought it was kind
of nice. But I've read and heard other moms rant about invasion of privacy,
so unless it's someone I've known for years, I just leave them physically
alone.
Too bad. Rather than assuming they might think it's sweet, I do the safe
thing and fear the worst reaction.

I found that when I was pregnant all 4 times, I had a lot of people I didn't
really know come and touch my belly. In a good way and not offensive at all.
Some would even ask if they could rub or feel. Fine by me. I loved my
belly!!! When I was working and preggers with Joseph, one kid there had his
hands on my belly so much people started to wonder if he was the dad. He use
to call Joseph little Buddah in there because of how big I was. I guess I
look unapproachable when it comes to homeschooling questions but way easy
when it comes to touching me!!! Is that a good thing???? LOL!

I think many of us raised here in the states are probably uncomfortable with the idea of people other than close relatives toughing our bellies. I was uncomfortable with people I knew, but not closely, asking me to touch my pregnant belly but quickly got over that. The enjoyment and happiness in other people eyes was wonderful. Afterall, they had to agree this was going to be a wonderful new little life. :o)
I'm like Sandra though. I really hesitate to ask to touch a pregnant belly here in the states.
