Re: Need advice on how to handle a situation
I had people at work who never touched me before start doing this to me. So there were certain people who are my friends that I felt comfortable with sharing my baby with but they always asked before they did anything. So for those that were the same type as your "personal space invader". I started a convo about isn't it funny how everyone wants to touch your belly when you're prego, its ,something new. But if you got breast implants you wouldn't have those same people come up and touch those cause it would be inappropriate Right? Well I definetly got my point across and then after that if people asked, I just said it hurts to touch, maybe next time.

say your stomach's been very sensitive lately so you've been avoiding touch.......
I would do this. Towards the end of my pregnancy, I was sooo hot all the time and I had a toucher too. I would just say as she approached how extremely hot and uncomfortable I was and how I told DH not to even touch me (this wasn't true, I just said it)..she got the idea.

Re: Need advice on how to handle a situation
Put your foot down now! You have to just tell her please dont do this it makes me uncomfortable. Honestly, let her flip out. I wouldnt want someone in my life who doesnt resect my wishes (esp when it comes to my body or my baby) i say this bc you need to set limits now bc if this bothers you, wait til baby is here, shes going to act inappropriately with baby and you are really not going to like it!
I truly feel bad for you

Re: Need advice on how to handle a situation
I totally feel your pain. My MIL does this every single time I see her. She rubs my stomach, talks to it, does the sign of the cross like shes exorcising the child, kisses my stomach. Its QUITE annoying. My own mother doesn't do this. I don't know who this person is in your life, but I have decided since I'm 29 weeks and don't see her THAT often, to keep my mouth shut. This is probably my last pregnancy anyway, so I figure I would pick and chose my battles. As she is also opinionated, overbearing, and hard headed lol. Good luck

Re: Need advice on how to handle a situation
If you want to be nice but make your point, i would say "my skin on my stomach is super sensitive right now, sorry..". And that is that. If she ever goes to touch it again, tell her NO.
WTF is wrong with people?
