During my pregnancies I always, always had at least one hand on my belly. When I was pregnant with my twins, I would usually put both of my hands on my belly, especially when going out in public. For me, it was like a protective thing, almost like holding them, and out in public, I felt more vulnerable, more fearful of someone hitting into my swollen belly and harming my little beebees, so I would protectively wrap my arms around my belly to keep them safe.
wow...you and i are both happily married and mothers of threee, including twins. yay! nice to meet ya
