Personal Space

Certainly this is not unique to Urban Mommies, but it's new to me, and this is, after all, a place to post such things....

I cannot figure out which is worse - the people who just touch my (now visibly) pregnant belly without any regard to whether I might want them to, or the people who ask if they can touch my belly and then pout when I say no. In what world does ANYONE want people - whether strangers or friends - touching their belly? And why would I want this MORE when my belly feels distended, itchy and uncomfortable?
