First baby is getting clingy

Bri

Hey ladies, so I am currently about 4 weeks preggo and I have a 12 month old son at home. My baby boy is very sweet and playful but he isn't very cuddly but ever since I found out I am pregnant, I see a major difference in him. He is constantly hugging me and buries himself in my arms. He also hovers around my belly a lot when I am sitting around. Can babies sense these things? Is this a thing? Did anyone else experience this? Or is my baby getting into the toddler phase?
