A Pregnant Belly - Don't Touch!

What is it about a pregnant belly that people think it is public domain...and they have to reach out and touch?


And the questions that get asked throughout the course of a pregnancy.....I can see how that alone would tire out a new mom-to-be .......  I was just talking to a co-worker yesterday at work, asking her the "usual" questions....she was kind enough to answer without looking exasperated....

I didn't ask to touch.....as an L&D RN.....I knew better........besides...I have touched waaaay too many pregnant bellies...I know what they feel like!!!


By the way. I am STILL accepting  names for the FREE BOOK.  Let me know if you would like this book to give to someone!!!  (yes I can have it sent to you  so you can gift it to whomever you wish!)
Last chance is September 30.  Just click on the book in the RIGHT COLUMN.

Oh my the advice one gets when pregnant. It's been 16 years but I was all thinking "I do not want to hear what sex you think my baby is! No old wives tales. No labor horror stories."

I think people just want to experience some of the joy. And nostalgia of course.

I got so sick of people touching me without my permission that during my first pregnancy a woman touched my stomach and said, "feels like a boy!" so I grabbed her boob, "feels like a demi bra!"

Jackie: That's for sure! :)

Crazed: Ya, no horror stories. I learned early that no one that's pregnant wants to know what REALLY (not just what to expect) goes on in the delivery room before they get there.

Claire: good one! :)
