Hehe Kelz! My cousins wife loves her belly being touched to!
I HATED it - I'd find ways to drop it into conversation most people got the hint, and the others i was usually too shocked to say anything. Though I must have had a funny look on my face when it did happen as a few people apologised afterwards and acknowledged that they should have asked first.
Though I did snap at the site manager one day   Lucky he's known the family for ages so I could get away with being rather rude!

I've been dropping it into conversations too, cos people keep touching my belly.
Yesterday a friend asked me to lift up my top so she could see my belly! I was like "no way!" She couldn't understand why I wouldn't.

Wouldn't it be awkward if someone rubbed your belly and you weren't actually pregnant anymore just postpartum?

I hated my tummy being touched by anyone but DH... I was a bit mean with a random lady though... I am a big person and didnt really show until after 25 weeks, at about 28ish weeks it could still be debatable and a random annoying lady patted my belling and said 'cant be long now!' - this is in a queue at a bookshop - and I replied 'what? do you usually go around touching random fat people on their stomachs?' and then walked off.
I was grumpy to begin with and she just rubbed me the wrong way...felt mean afterwards but it did feel good at the time!

Yeah, I did this to a woman at a wedding I went to....It was so uncomfortable. I never ever touch anyones belly anymore!
And if you think belly touching is bad, my MIL felt my breasts to see if they had much milk!!!

I had a lot of people touch my belly. Death stare worked well... but for a few people (even random ones I didn't know) I reached out and touched their belly's. They freaked out - point taken I think.
To be fair - I didn't mind friends touching it late in pregnancy.. but couldn't stand it when it was tiny - not even I could feel it!!!!
