This may sound weird, but I was wondering if there are any good places to find pregnant women at? I’m trying to get some candids, but don’t know where to look. If you know some places to look, it would help a lot.

Good Places to find pregnant women: Ikea, Target, Fun Parks (Disneyland...) or near doctor‘s office.

I’d say somewhere we’re you wouldn’t stick out at like what they said^.

Would beaches be good places as well or no?

Second for Ikea

Another question. If I were to try to get a candid belly rub, how should I try asking?

Here my steps for you on how to do a belly candid rub as I'm experienced in this. Follow my steps carefully

1*. Approach the lady casually without making yourself look awkward at any place you find them at.
1a. If you are recording, I suggest keeping your device hidden like in your shirt pocket or a pocket where the camera can see and others can't, so that the woman and others aren't aware they're being recorded. If you choose to hold your device, carry it as casual and don't point the camera.
2. Congratulate her, most women would be aware that people would notice their showing bellies. They'll thank you and feel admired.
3. Engage the women in a conversation and/or ask questions related to the current situation you're in, like talk about parenting, kids, shopping experiences. And questions like gender, due date, and curiosity.
4. After you engaged the woman in a short chat, reach your arm out close to the belly and ask if it's okay for you to rub her belly out of curiosity. It's important you get consent from the woman to rub her belly so that she's aware and comfortable she's being touched. If she declines, let it be, there more women out there that wouldn't mind. I've had my fair share with plenty of women I encountered in public.


*On an important note, find women that are standing alone distant from other people other than their kids and/or their partners (in certain situations) If women are walking around, don't directly follow them, try to walk casually around the place them until they stop, then approach.

This is all coming from my experience doing many candids when I'm out and being able to rub several bellies. I'm on this forum to mostly share my candids. Remember, not all women like to have their bellies rubbed so be careful who you approach. Most I've encountered were friendly, others not. Follow the steps to get to know the woman before you rub their belly.

I hope this helps and I personally look forward to seeing some of your belly rub candids if you do any. Looks like I'm not alone.

@Bluebird704 Thanks so much for the tips. If you don’t mind me asking, would a iPhone work or no?

Oh yes, I've used my IPhone as my primary camera for all the candids I've taken

@Bluebird704 Like I’ve said, thank you for the tips.
