I find myself touching my stomach a lot

[Jalapeñomel]

Like when the baby is kicking or whatnot. I wonder how ridiculous I look in public?

[winecheery]

I love to put my hands on my belly when she kicks. I press back sometimes and I hope she can feel me responding to her in there!

I don't care if I look ridic. I kind of think it's a rite of pregnancy.

So what? i was obsessed with feeling him move around, so I did that too!

[snickers]

I know, I always wonder if people are looking at my funny lol but I do it anyways

[Yankees21]

I'm sure you don't look ridiculous at all! Now maybe if you weren't showing in the least, it might seem strange..

I always think it's sweet when I see a pregnant woman touching her stomach/bonding with her baby. Enjoy it! I can't wait to feel kicks and movement.

[thejackpot]

I do this too. I love feeling connected to what's going on in there. No judgement her

AND if your hands are occupying your stomach- that leaves no room for other people to touch it. WIN!

Yes! A doctor I work with said yesterday that the reason no one has been able to touch my stomach was because I'm always touching it. I said, "Exactly. That is the point." lol 

Although, yesterday we were at this little fair type thing in our hometown and I was eating (cheese fries, thank you--they were delicious) and a relative did rub my tummy. I had to decide between dropping my fries to try to deflect/punch him, or keeping the fries safe. I decided the fries were more important.

I do it too. Enjoy it!

[SKP82]

I do it all the time, too.

You look cute in public, no worries ;-)

Um, so I do that too. Except at this moment all I have is giant bloat, so I am basically rubbing my gut all day long. MUST. STOP.

My hand is pretty much always on my stomach, whether the boys are kicking or not. I vote not ridiculous-looking.

[sweetminnesnowtan]

It's not ridiculous, it's cute! I do it all the time too, especially when he's trashing around in there and making me really uncomfortable. People usually smile at me.

[browneyedgirl9]

I do it all the time too, and my bump is still pretty small.

[Jalapeñomel]

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't give a rat's ass what people think of me rubbing my stomach, it's just funny to me how much I do it!

And really, I don't think I have ever noticed other women doing it prior to my pregnancy.
