Had a nice belly rub today - will explain what happened.

Walking home from the store I spotted her walking her dog.

I approached her and congratulated her and asked how far along she was?

She responded just 2 weeks to go, 'oh wow' I remarked almost there, how are you feeling? 
She responded she's feeling abit tired and ready for it to be over. I agreed 'I bet'. I asked her if she knew what she was having and she stated a boy to which I asked If her and her husband had everything ready? She told me about how everything was more or less in place andnshe just needed labour to start.

I asked her 'do you mind if I feel' motioning towards her belly to which she said sure with a smile and turned her belly towards me.

While I had my hand on her belly and was rubbing I commented how hard it was, she agreed 'it's solid as a rock isn't it?. I agreed, I told her its incredible and explained I haven't got any kids yet so have yet to really experience pregnancy with my partner and she commented how quick it seemed to go for her.

As I took my hand away we made more chit chat, we live on a new estate of houses so are both new to the area. We talk about local spots and neighbours etc. I wished her luck and a good night and we walked off.

I have apporached women in this way many times, I am always polite and open, making the conversation about her and be attentful but leading. Most women are happy to talk about something thats dominated the last 9 month of their lives and its not really uncommon to have people ask for belly rubs (usually friends and family) so nothing ever comes off as creepy. Ive had exactly one woman say no but she seemed extremely preocupied.

Confidence is key and a warm open approach helps too.

May the rubs come your way.

I literally have one line “where do you buy your maternity clothes” and I say “my sister is 20 weeks right now” then we start talking , and I’ll say “her baby is barely kicking right now” and with all the girls they say “oh mines kicking a lot” , by then we’ve been talking for 1 minute at least and I say if I can feel and 95% of the time it’s a yes .

I guess some of you have experiences of getting to chat with, befriend and hang out with a pregnant lady, including the privilege of belly touching because she trusted you and had good vibes about you...apparently, when you approach a stranger in a calm casual manner, appearing normal and expressed you think motherhood or parenthood are great stages in ones' life, she would like to share her belly and talk about her pregnancy with you.
