In the case of my friend, she is a little overweight and has gained a lot during pregnancy so there may be some sensitivity to weight.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://similac.com/community/boards/forums/thread/34473.aspxMon, 19 Nov 2012 05:41:47 GMTacc0266e-1ded-4c2f-a019-bb85b48eedc2:34473PediNurseJulie10http://similac.com/community/boards/forums/thread/34473.aspxhttp://similac.com/community/boards/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=8&PostID=34473<p>I didn&#39;t really mind it. I never had anyone really invade my space, however, when it came to rubbing my belly. When my good friends or family wanted to touch my belly, I felt like they were loving on my little baby and showing how much they cared. I know a lot of women really hate it though. :-)&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>http://similac.com/community/boards/forums/thread/34451.aspxFri, 16 Nov 2012 16:05:42 GMTacc0266e-1ded-4c2f-a019-bb85b48eedc2:34451AnswerDad030http://similac.com/community/boards/forums/thread/34451.aspxhttp://similac.com/community/boards/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=8&PostID=34451<p>In conversation with a good friend in her third trimester, she was explaining how much she detests casual friends, co-workers and even strangers who feel they have the right to stroke her baby bump. Some women don&rsquo;t mind but I have found many do. What is your opinion and what is a polite way of asking people not to do it if it bothers you? -- Chris, StrongMoms Facilitator</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
