Next week's question
I'm in my second trimester and news of my pregnancy has been public in my office for a couple of weeks. My co-workers have taken an interest, which is great. There is, however, a line between curious interest and the invasion of my space. Last week, a co-worker touched my belly while I was in conversation with a group of people. I felt acutely uncomfortable, but was so taken by surprise that I didn't react. I know she has the kindest intentions, but I don't want this to happen again. Such behaviour has no place in the office. What's the best way to ward off unwelcome belly attention without offending others?
