When I'm out in public, whether I'm grocery shopping or waiting in line at the post office, people ask personal questions about my pregnancy and sometimes even put their hand on my belly. How can I tell them to mind their business without being rude?

For me personally, if I see someone who smiles and me after noticing my stomach, I automatically place my arms on my tummy so they wouldn't touch it. I'd usually smile and answer really short, but nothing too rude because they meant nothing but good intentions. Otherwise, when they start giving me advise, I would just nod and smile before thanking them for advise and then saying that I am rushing off to meet my husband. Just do not snap back, but these people are genuinely happy for you and I personally feel that we need more of this in the world.
