Toddler being overly affectionate towards the end of my pregnancy

Has anyone got any experience with a toddler somewhat becoming more affectionate towards the end of pregnancy. I'm almost 37 weeks and my daughter has suddenly taken a liking to lay on my bump, talking to the bump and overall being very cuddly. She has also been an amazing sleeper up until about 3 days ago and she absolutely insists on coming into our bed for about an hour before we are due to all get up. Is she sensing the change and the shift that is about to happen?

My little boy has also started doing this!
37 weeks tomorrow!

My little one keeps coming up to me and rubbing my belly and my back, it's the sweetest thing ❤️

Your hormones change and you give off more oxytocin I think. It makes them more cuddly/needy usually!

My 2 and 4 year old are being the same too, I think they can sense the changes coming, I’m 37 weeks tomorrow!

my 2 & 4 year old are suuuper clingy to me which is unusual for both of them, also 37 weeks today! Been having loads of cramping, very intense BH, nausea etc but that's been going on at least 2 weeks so assuming it's not really a sign of anything lol

Yes. My 3 year old and my dog are like this.

My 3 year old is the same! He keeps cuddling my bump saying ‘come on baby brother, I want to kiss you’ 😭 I can’t deal! He’s also been waking almost every night wanting me and he usually sleeps through 🥱 they must know something! 40 weeks tomorrow so I’m hoping he does 😂

My 2y9m old has been super clingy in the last few days too, I'm 40w+1 and he usually sleeps through and has been calling for me in the night, when he has been daddy obsessed for months! I'm hoping he is onto something at this stage

Anyone else feel like as soon as their baby turned 8m old they are acting like a completely different baby? She's become noticeably more difficult as far as behavior.

Please tell me what your experience is with your 8m old.

Sex after having a baby

How long did you leave it till you had sex again after having your baby?

Help!!!!

Someone please help me with some advice because I’m losing my absolute mind 😭
Baby is 5 months old, she has changed a lot in personality over the last month, more needy, sleep changes etc but have put it down to the 4 month regression and teething.
However, the problem that makes me want to literally cry is the car seat! She is totally inconsolable now every time she’s in the car. Why? And what can I do to help it?!

Postpartum hair loss

Let’s see it ladies.
You’ve got to laugh or you’ll cry, let’s be honest 🤣

Edit: this is what I caught in the shower and does not include anything that went down the plug, anything that stayed on my comb, anything still attached to my body when I got out or anything that was still in the bath when I was done ✌️.

PP things I hate

Everything is stress induced anymore
My daughter has this ongoing diarrhea for 2 weeks now and I’ve gotten no sleep from it, I now have a canker sore from it, my acid reflux has more flare ups than ever. I don’t like having sex anymore (I love my partner and I still find him very attractive). Im way too overly touched (by the baby, by the dog and by him). Im 10m pp and I haven’t been able to wear a dang tampon! I don’t do pads because they are just not for me so I wear a diaper.
Please tell me if you relate to any of this at all? Or if I’m just crazy
