Family Gatherings...

So, today is Yom Kippur and tonight I am going to MIL's for break fast. There are a TON of people there-- like 50ish, a lot of people who were at my wedding-- friends and family of my MIL.

I am sorta nervous because I guess by now, most people know I am prego-- and I KNOW everyone is going to be checking me out, or wanting touch me inappropriatelyChat Icon. I just hate all eyes on me...

Anyone else with me?

I feel for you! I hate being touched or fawned over. Plus the endless same questions over and over- do you know what you are having? Names picked out? all the same day is so tiringChat Icon

If it's family or good friends I really don't have a problem with a good luck belly rub. They're just trying to be loving is all.

Have a good time - Try not to stress too much about it .

But I'm w/ you. I hate being the center of attention, I even hate TELLING people I'm pregnant !!Chat Icon

I don't have the belly yet, but even now everyone is checking me out to see if I gained any weight and if I'm showing (13 weeks ????? ) and blah blah - it's annoying.....

Re: Family Gatherings...

def set up a plan with your DH...i learned when it was too late how utterly uncomfortable i get when people want to touch my belly. Chat Icon maybe he can run interference and block touchy feely's before they even happen Chat Icon
