Can your other young children sense that you are pregnant?

Question

I have a 16 month old and she has been acting differently the last few weeks.  I am only 8w4d along but I was wondering if maybe my daughter is acting out a bit because she senses things changing with me?  Or maybe I am reading too much into it ad she is just picking up on me not doing as much with her because of my fatigue and nausea?

Answer

My daughter last year before I knew I was pregnant she was almost 2 and she sensed it right away kissing my tummy rubbing it etc. and I wound up miscarrying last year. And currently 6 weeks and 1 day pregnant she laid on my belly last night

Answer

I believe they can and my daughter has asked a few times if I am. I also noticed last week my students have been acting weird and touching my stomach.

Answer

mine did ! my daughter is 4 and a couple of days ago patted my belly and said "baby" . i have never said anything about where a baby starts its life to her at all. Then the next day starts sing "Happy Birthday Baby Brother " . lol  again i never taught her that  haha and today i found out im pregnant !!!

Answer

I'm pregnant with my first and found out on my wedding day. Incidentally, my 4 year old nephew was telling his mom the same day that there's "a baby girl growing here." I'm only 5w5d but I know I will be sufficiently spooked if it turns out we are having a girl! I do think kids can sense these kinds of things somehow!

Answer

Yes! They sure can my oldest was 18 months when I got pregnant with my second. He knew I was pregnant before I did.. He became really clingy and threw more tantrums.. It also seemed he was mad at me. Now I just confirmed I'm pregnant with my forth and my youngest as of now is doing the same thing she started acting out literally the day after I ovulated! She will be 2 in a couple of weeks.. She won't sleep soundly now she nurses more.. She will not let me out if her sight for a minute! And she's always whining!
