Permission Granted, With Conditions

Let’s face it—pregnancy is a rollercoaster ride at the best of times. You think you've nailed down your human impression by figuring out how to tie your shoes without tipping over, and boom! Along comes the greatest Houdini act of all: disappearing ankles. You’re barely aware you even have feet at this point. Look, carrying a small human being for nine months doesn't come with a manual, but instead a never-ending cycle of people wanting to touch your belly and give unsolicited parenting advice. It’s like being a roving belly-themed petting zoo. Just remember, darling, you’ve got the final say on who gets a touch-up!

Now, I know what you’re thinking. "He wants to touch them. Should he?" The answer—well, it's the title of our article for a reason, isn't it? Your body's undergone a transition comparable only to that of a Transformer. Suddenly, it's everyone's business, turning the world into your own personal Greek chorus. But don’t worry! We're here to be your hilarious compass in a sea of unsolicited sweet nothings and wandering hands.

The Top 5 Best Things About Being Pregnant in Your Second Trimester

1. The Glow! Everyone loves to talk about "the glow." You know, that effervescent beam that makes everyone ask if you’ve switched up your beauty regime or just bathed in fairy dust?

2. The Hair! Oh honey, move over Rapunzel! Suddenly, you can star in your very own shampoo commercial—all thanks to those luscious locks growing thicker than Molly Ringwald's 80s fringe.

3. Feeling the Baby! It’s like having your own secret discourse with a little ninja. “Was that kick a ‘hello’, or an ‘I’m going to become a ballet dancer’?” Only time—and lots of spilled milk—will tell.

4. Shopping (Guilt-Free)! Suddenly, the world of materni

ty wear provides a lovely excuse to go on a spending spree. Cue those heavenly Emamaco maternity leggings made for comfort and sass! If this is your game, grab your shopping bag and head over to Emamaco right now. Cue the cheerleader pompoms!

5. The Bond with Your Partner! It's like you've both joined a secret club. Yes, “We Are Now Parents Society,” full of chinwags about diaper brands and preferred swaddle techniques. Enthralling stuff, right?

The overalls say farmer, the leggings shout mama-on-a-mission.

Permission Granted, But with Conditions!

Let’s get real about unsolicited touches for a moment. When your partner, friends, or that one colleague—yes, Susan, we’re looking at you—eagerly ask, "Can I touch them?" while motioning towards your magnificent bump, a tinge of apprehension might electrify your spine. But fret not, we’re handing you the ultimate game guide to decide who gets the coveted pass to the bump:

• Your Partner: Touch away, but tread lightly. You don't want them to think it's a bongo drum session.
• Your Best Friend: Yes, they’re allowed access, but only when they're not comparing your belly to a watermelon.
• Aunt Gertrude: Proceed with caution. Let's be honest, your belly is not an oracle for predicting next week's lottery numbers.

Of course, give yourself room to say “No”. It's your body and your rules. Try dressing it up with some sass, like "Sorry, you've caught me at a closed-door policy moment." Say it with a smile, and maybe a wink for good measure. It’s all in the delivery!

5 of the Worst Preggo Taboos That Need to Just Retire

1. The Belly Rub: Remember, you aren't a furry pet in need of a stroke. You're a human with personal space.

2. The Weight Comments: "Are you sure you’re not having twins?" said literally no one you want in your life. Friends, no commenting on the number of buns in the oven, capisce?

3. The Name Suggestions: Unless solicited, please, let the parents-to-be christen their own monkey.

4. The War Stories: Comparing pregnancy to a saga from the trenches? Talk about killing the mood.

5. The Due Date Guessing Game: Spoiler alert: no one deserves this game. Ever.

Let’s face it: every belly is different, and every journey unique. Treat it like a James Bond secret mission—engage only if authorised!

Now that we’ve armed you with both sides of the belly touch saga, there’s plenty of pregnant pause to consider. Remember to enjoy the glowing moments, take those compliments, and slide into your favorite Emamaco maternity gear, knowing you've conquered the chaotic world of pre-birth taboos. Just because you're now a walking advocate of the food-baby-belly movement doesn't mean your catwalk of life can’t stay fierce, my dear!
