The reasons my expecting womb is off-limits to touch may not be common practices for most. Afterall, pregnancy is not a one size-fits-all experience. For many, it is such an exciting time for expecting parents and strangers alike. However, there are various reasons my expecting uterus is off-limits to touch. Should yours be too?
# 1 Creation Energy
When I was pregnant with my first baby, I worked in retail and had a co-worker who seemed to have hated me for no apparent reason. I seemed invisible to her on most days and slightly visible yet still beneath her on other days. When she started to see my growing belly, she was all of a sudden always happy to see me coming. I had creation energy all over me and she didn’t know it but she could sense it. She and everyone else wanted to touch my belly and steal a piece of my creation energy.
Honestly, it took me being pregnant with my fourth to realize what all the buzz is about when a woman is pregnant. As reflections of the Creator, everyone wants to create something in one way or another. Touching a woman’s belly when her aura is at its’ height of creation is like dipping your finger in the lake to grab some creation energy of your own.
If a person was not interested in your ‘creation energy’ before, they should not be allowed to partake in it just because they decide they want to. It is up to you to decide who you do and do not share your life force with.
# 2 Practice mama bear protection
You may be a first time mama or you may have some experience under your belt. Either way, there are sure to be some instinctual manners that may be apart of you and there may be some skills that you can sharpen up on. There will undoubted be numerous times that you may need to shield or steer your little one from harm and or ill- intent.
For many (not all but some) women, confrontation or speaking up on certain matters can be a draining one. This is a time to pull up your big girl undies and practice the art of speaking up.
Whether it’s talking to your child’s pediatrician, their teachers or the parent of a bully on the playground, this is a great way to get your whistle wet. Protect that unborn child that is still growing in your uterus. It’s okay to allow someone else to be uncomfortable for the sake of being mama bear for your unborn child.
# 3 Energy Transfer
Whether you feel it or not, energy is real and it’s in everyone, outside of everyone and all around us at the same time. If you are familiar with the healing practice of reiki, then you would know that energy is transferrable.
You don’t know everyone’s intentions or what type of energy they may hold in their hands so if you do not know a person or do not know them well, it is best that you refuse any pregnant belly touch for your sake and that of your baby.
# 4 Body autonomy
Ultimately, this is your body we are talking about here. Would someone just walk up to you and touch your belly if you were not pregnant? If the answer is yes, then that would be extremely weird and a complete violation. So, why would they do it just because you are pregnant? You have the same rights as a pregnant woman that you had before you became pregnant.
So, it is your choice whether a person is able to touch your pregnant belly. Anyone that you encounter should treat it as such. They should ask first and then proceed. Hey, they never know! There may be reasons your expecting uterus is off limits to touch.
