If you watch "A Baby Story" on TLC, you can often see pregnant women going barefooted or wearing socks. About half of the time, the woman will be getting her feet massaged by her male companion (boyfriend, husband, etc). I haven't seen any of them get tickled yet. The program comes on at 8, 8:30, and 9 in the morning on the eastcoast. Most of the women have nice feet.
