I remember when i was pregnant, people(usually old ladies) would touch my belly all the time...it doesn't actually bother me, but one of my husband's family members took it one step further....one time, close to my due date, this cousin of my husband's races up to me and whips up my shirt to see my belly...i was completely shocked!!!! I was definitely not comfortable with the whole world staring at my stretch marks!

Ok, so I was out with an obviously pregnant friend today, (she's due next month) and SO many total strangers all thought it was perfectly acceptable to touch her stomach, without asking, some without even introducing themselves, just walk up to you in line, look you in the face, pat your belly, and say "so when is the little bundle due?" Why do people feel that this is acceptable? What do/did you guys do when this happened to you?

My friend's got a great idea that she uses, I'll post it later, but I want to get your ideas first.
