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?

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.
