I would have said "Back off, Toad, or I'll put that index finger where you won't ever see it again." <BR/>And, Julie, childbirth SHOULD scare you. Be very scared, but you won't die. It's sort of like every great miracle you pass through. It's a chance to see God's hand.S.Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11006369937884305697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660764619120593708.post-70015461058713567932008-05-03T21:40:00.000-07:002008-05-03T21:40:00.000-07:00People like to touch pregnant bellies because they...People like to touch pregnant bellies because they are Buddha Bellies, imparting good luck to all who rub them. <BR/>I actually have a secret strategy to avoid unwanted belly rubs, which has worked 100 percent so far. <BR/>Don't look like a cute pregnant woman. People are much more likely to rub the belly of a friendly-looking pregnant woman in cute pregnant clothes. So if you look grumpy...maybeE.

At least I haven't yet. In one of my classes last semester a girl who I barely knew asked, "Can I feel your belly?" Then she bent down until her nose was a few inches from my belly and started to poke it with her index finger. What do you say when someone does that? Every day after that this girl would say hi to my baby when I The Martinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01381684309994300493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7660764619120593708.post-30545932370318825232008-05-02T07:09:00.000-07:002008-05-02T07:09:00.000-07:00Chub-chub eh?

I think that it's kind of like saying, "oh--look--there's a baby in there. yay!" My sister once told me to stop patting her stomach when she was pregnant with her second child.

They tell about 10 hours of labor or the nurse who wouldn't give them their epidural in time or the time that their water broke in Walmart. Ugh.

I can imagine how WEIRD that would be to have anyone--no matter what condition you're in--to come up and start feeling your stomach. I remember my cousin having that pet peeve because she said, "It's still my stomach, no matter what's inside." Funny, funny. I'm glad you'd share the inside scoop on being pregnant.
