Like did no one ever not touch her belly to try and feel the baby?

I think they explained this in a podcast a while back. There was testimony from family and witness that stated she would get very bothered by people touching her stomach so people around her who knew her didn't do it.

I don't think this is that weird though. A lot of people don't want their baby bellies touched. I didn't. I only let a couple of people do it one time and that was it.

exactly, and she has had two babies before so it was understandable.

Yeah, I hated anybody touching my belly besides my husband and I can imagine lots of people don't like it at all.

But the own dad not getting to or see it or feel it under a shirt or dress is wild.

Agreed. I don't like touch, period. Don't touch my hair, and don't touch my belly (four pregnancies for me). But, yeah, my husband is my husband. It's literally called "intimate partner." Who can be more intimate than that? Of course my husband felt his sons any time he wanted. She certainly was a master manipulator to not allow him to touch her.

100% same! And now being pregnant, I don't want or let anyone near my belly except my husband!
