Pregnant with baby number 2 and my Son seems different with me.
Hi everyone,
My little boy has the last week really changed with me, he won’t go down with naps with me or go down for bedtime with me. I’ve tried everything and he just resists it even though you know he’s tired. Usually my husband does the nighttime routine and I’m involved too but he’s away this weekend and it has been super hard my sisters had to put my son to sleep tonight.
I’ve just found out on Friday that I’m pregnant..very early (planned but still shocked) has anyone else found this happened when they were pregnant? Or is this some sort separation anxiety going on?
Thanks girls

Has anything else changed for him, started nursery, you working more/different hours? Etc. It could be many things but if dad does bedtime and hes away that will have an impact. When i was pregnant with my 2nd, my son had just turned 3 and he was/is my shadow. Babies of this age do go through phases where mom is no1 & dont want to know dad and vice versa. I wouldnt worry, i found once my pregnancy started to progress my son was so protective of me and helped me so much and he bonded with baby before they were born. Dont forget if you have just found out, your hormones are already playing ping pong, he will settle soon.
Congratulations on new baby 🥰 xx
Thank you so much, that’s definitely put my mind at ease!
I think he’s definitely missing his daddy as when my husband FaceTimed yesterday he did look really sad when he knew he couldn’t hug him 😔🙈
I did go on a hendo last weekend too and was away so I do wonder if that’s had some part of it too! Hopefully it’s a phase that’ll pass!
Thank you so much 🥰 xxx
