Being pregnant w/ toddler question

edited May 2013 in Pregnant
Can they sense what's going on? My son is 19mo old and it seems lately he wants nothing to do with me and everyone keeps telling me its because I am pregnant and he could feel it. I used to be his favorite and now daddy is and it makes me sad! :( I am 33 weeks and this has only recently started, could it be because I am alot bigger and the baby has a bigger presence that he is acting like this? Not only am I not his fave anymore but he has gotten into hitting me, I don't know what's going on?! :(

    Omg I feel the same way. I'm only 9wks though but I swear my 19mo wants nothing to do with me now.

    @frantastic It makes me feel so sad, and worried for how he will react once the baby is really here!

    I will be 36wks on friday and my 20mth old has flipped to daddy being her favorite. ...I think they can sense it but I dont mind at all bc hopefully she stays like this that way I can focus easier on baby

    @firsttimemommy0928 I just hope its temporary and he doesn't feel like he's being replaced.

    I have an 18 month old, 13 & 15 year olds. My boys argue with each other over "not causing mom stress" & my daughter is oblivious to any change. Im only 16 weeka but im showing & she still thinks IM a jungle gym. The only thing ive noticed is she tries to poke her finger into my belly button.

    Awe, that is sad :( but im sure ur still his favorite person. Nyla hits my belly sometimes n ill tell her dont hit Baby. But I do think babies can sense there is something going on. Hope it gets better girl.

    I have a hard time when I had my second daughter and she required a lot of attention and my daughter was just 2 ... It was hard I cry and cry but only time fixed once they adapt to the new baby or new situation she was happy to have someone to play with and they can't live without each other so take it easy only time will fix no tears no bad feeling or guilty

    My daughter has actually become extremely clingy, she's 17 months. She lays her head on my belly now and says hi lol its cute but odd its like she's fully aware

    I think they can. When I was pregnant with deKari Junior knew. It was like he was mad at me. Even in the hospital he wanted nothing to do with me. It took about a week after DeKari was born before he started being normal again. Now he loves DeKari to death and doesn't like my older kids to mess with him. If he's crying he'll go find his binky. He will climb up the side of the crib and talk baby talk to him, it's so cute. So it does get better. Just give her time to adjust and include her in as much as possible. Good luck and hugs! :)

    Sorry I meant her not him. I don't know why I thought you had a daughter. I think I just had @nylasmommy on my mind! Lol

    @starlilly @nylasmommy @ohhowwonderful @2girls_1boy @melodya thanks ladies, glad to know its not only me! I know it shouldn't bother me but being that I am pregnant I am just super extra emotional, I do hope it passes though, I miss being his favorite! :(

    Sorry Hun! It feels horrible when your little ones hit you. He's also going through growing pains and new stages. Hopefully this will pass soon.

    I just read this morning that it could be a phase of flipping parents as their favorite. Like you described. I'm not prego, but my lo is 18m and she has started wanting daddy more. Hope it makes you feel better!
