I said, "Ummm...no." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858587 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 12:51:08 +0000 anbanan15 858587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Anagram: I hear you! My DH doesn't even like seeing my belly! </p> <p>Had I been further along and had a big obviously bump going on I'm not sure I would have shown her. I don't feel like I'm really showing yet (17 weeks today...this happened earlier this week) and she had just cautiously asked if I was even expecting because of the way I was touching my stomach. Hopefully no one else who is a non-family/friend asks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858580 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 12:48:42 +0000 rachiecakes 858580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@tysonja: @anbanan15: I did get a small patch at 39 weeks on my left thigh. They went away after giving birth but I can still feel them if I rub the skin, if that makes sense.. it's weird, it's like it feels broken underneath in a little 3" x 3" patch </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858559 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 12:43:26 +0000 Anagram 858559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OMG...I haven't even had a friend/family member ask, and frankly...no one is seeing my belly but my DH, who gets to see it morning and night. heh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858462 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 12:12:56 +0000 deerylou 858462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No one has ever asked, but I'm relatively okay with showing, if it was a family member or good friend. Otherwise, no thanks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858426 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:53:21 +0000 anbanan15 858426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: ugh I hate that! Least it was family *silver lining*</p> <p>@rachiecakes: Haha! Did you end up getting any stretch marks? Mine didn't show up with DS until 40+ weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858424 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:53:07 +0000 tysonja 858424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: haha that's awesome! :) yay for no stretch marks! i can't say the same, though :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858414 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:46:49 +0000 rachiecakes 858414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol that's pretty funny<br /> a snarky coworker asked me at 37 weeks if I cried when I first saw my stretchmarks, I had to flash her my belly to show her there were none ;P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858413 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:46:48 +0000 MrsTiz 858413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My aunt saw me the other day and pulled my shirt up without my permission. I was really offput by it. I am dreading anyone else asking </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858406 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:41:12 +0000 Koolbreeze 858406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only friends and family!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858404 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:39:49 +0000 Pepper 858404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Never a stranger, but my friends ask all the time, haha. I'd be really weirded out by a stranger asking! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858402 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:39:36 +0000 anbanan15 858402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: Haha that's awesome! I can understand friends and family asking, but this was a little odd. Especially being that we were at work, working. I guess she wanted to see because she was saying I was so much smaller than her when she was that many weeks and wanted to actually see the belly itself... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858398 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:38:20 +0000 illumina 858398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not yet. I would refuse if they asked though, I think that's a bit over the top weird! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858395 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:37:25 +0000 .twist. 858395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so weird and no! Never has someone asked to see my bare belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858389 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:36:08 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 858389@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>never a stranger! That's kind of weird. I would have shown her though. I mean, oh well, right?<br /> I did get asked by ALL my friends after I had the baby. They were impressed. I get they'd seen terrible things before haha. My one friend made me show her because she saw her older sister's and her poor sister has red stretchmarks, and my friend wanted proof that that doesn't happen to everyone. I had tiny tan stretchmarks at the time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-ask-to-see-your-bare-belly#post-858375 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 11:32:31 +0000 anbanan15 858375@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had an expecting co-worker (she is 36 weeks) actually ask to see my bare belly the other day at work. I appeased her, but it was extremely awkward! I don't actually know her!</p> <p>Anyone else get this request before from a stranger before? </p>
