My theory is that "don't touch the belly without asking" has become more conventional wisdom. I think the new standard for weird, impolite behavior toward pregnant ladies is the question, "Were you trying?" which is addressed in this excellent essay http://www.salon.com/life/feature/2011/05/17/what_not_to_ask_a_pregnant_woman. What really gets me is hearing my coworkers talk about my body. For whatever reason, I'm not showing as much as another pregnant woman at work (even though I'm due a couple weeks before her) and this has been a seemingly endless discussion topic. I actually heard two dudes in the meat department analyzing my height and weight distribution.
