    Pregnant Women… Public Property?

    pregnant_belly_with_hands.jpgSo I have a friend who is currently pregnant. It seems that as of late random people have taken to touching her stomach. I think this a really crazy phenomenon. What makes people feel that it is ok to rub a random person’s stomach? I mean is it ok for me to go up to a person I don’t event know in the grocery store and touch their stomach???

    It’s as if once you become pregnant all bets are off and social norms fly right out the window! Once you are pregnant you have a giant yellow flashing sign on your stomach that says, “Baby on Board.Please touch here” with a giant arrow pointing right at the belly button.

    Perhaps it goes back to some ancient Chinese Buddhist tradition of rubbing the magic Buddha for good luck. Maybe it is our obsession with the Pillsbury Dough Man….. When poked in the stomach, he giggles, grabs his stomach, and smiles. Nothing says loving like popping fresh!

    My suggestion is next time you feel compelled to rub a random pregnant woman’s stomach for good luck or hear a giggle, make sure you ask to see if they are ok with it. Just because she is pregnant doesn’t mean she is public property.

    Is it OK if you yell out “Hey Baby!” while rubbing her stomach?

    I think you have to blame whomever it was that coined the phrase “It takes a village.”  Now all the village idiots think they have a right to pat “their” future child on the head.
