I am now 32 weeks pregnant and many people I meet (friends and family) ask me if they can touch my belly and feel the baby (some don't even ask!! they just touch the belly) I am very uncomfortable with some people doing this. How do you say no?

People may feel your bump is so adorable and just can’t resist. If they are polite and ask you if they can touch your belly, and if you are uncomfortable to let them touch you can reply "I would prefer that you don't as I feel uneasy people touching my bump" and smile. If they touch your bump without your permission, you can tell them politely "I would have preferred that you asked first" and they will get the massage straight that it is not okay to touch your bump.
