Toddler acting strange because pregnancy?

Question

My 22 month old son is acting really strange, he has been super clingy to me and wants me over his dad. He has also been throwing these crazy tantrums. His behavior has been strange. I'm 37 weeks as of today and i think his behavior has to do with my pregnancy.  Is that crazy? Are there any other moms out there experiencing this? If so, did the baby come shortly after the strange behavior?

Answer

When mommy becomes pregnant toddlers or younger children will act out for attention because they want to make sure you show them the same attention as before the baby comes. They will start to become more dependent on you and clingy, it's just part of it!

Answer

Both my boys are like that with me they have been wanting to be right next to me. When they aren't right next to me they want to be fighting each other and not the normal siblings fight its constant and not like them

Answer

My daughter is the same age, but I'm a bit behind you at 29 weeks.

She has been acting this way for most of the pregnancy. I think it's more the age rather than the pregnancy itself. For us, she has already entered the terrible two's. I'm hoping we can have it calm down by the time baby is here.

Answer

No my daughter is 4 and been all over me...  just because it's a baby that's pretty much it

Answer

Could be normal behavioral changes, but could also have some relevance to the pregnancy.
