I've heard that toddler plus newborn is less stressful than toddler plus pregnancy, can't say from personal experience though.
What I will say is that it's 100% normal for kids to become clingy and regress towards the end of your pregnancy. I'm 35 weeks now and my 3 year old literally cannot cope without me. Needs me for every bedtime, won't go into preschool without crying when I drop him off etc. You may well find that once baby comes, your toddler's behaviour improves.

Sorry, I don't want to be unpositive here as you asked for positive experiences only, but I found going from 1-2 extremely hard with a newborn, and my toddler has always been well-behaved, but that's because my newborn was a very difficult baby and cried hours on end for about 7 weeks then my toddler went through a rebellious stage. My baby is now 5 months old, and I love it. They've both amazing and have been for a while

15 months between my first two and I found it soooooo much easier doing two under two than I did pregnant with a toddler. Currently 35 weeks with baby 3 and I’ve got a 2 and 3 year old now and I love them more than anything but gosh it’s rough at the moment. They’ve never been particularly clingy but they literally just want to be attached to me at the moment, I literally do not get a second to myself during the day and it’s draining. They’ve gone from being able to play really nicely together to literally just arguing and tears constantly. I’m sore and tired and don’t have as much patience as I’d like right now so yeah very much looking forward to having baby here and getting back into a good routine x

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭
