Sibling!

Hello everyone, hope you are all okay! I’m hoping someone can help / assure me it’s normal! My little girl is 2.5 yr old and I’m due out next one in a matter of weeks, little one is being a monkey so needs to come earlier! Our little girl only wants mummy, and is finding it incredibly hard that I can’t take her to her swimming or ballet lessons anymore due to being on reduced activities from the hospital. She isn’t listening to her daddy and just cries for me all the time! Anyone else experiencing this? It’s making me really sad and worried as I’m having a c section because of the baby complications, that she isn’t going to cope well after baby is born. Any suggestions etc would be brilliant. Thank you ladies xxx

Not a March baby but following as will in the exact same position in June with a 2.5 year old and a likely early baby - sending love! 💕

I think littles are always going to find it really tricky, our 3yo started regressing with potty accidents last months and I’m sure it’s due to pregnancy 😢 I’m sure I read that quality time over quantity often does the trick. Short bursts where there’s no distraction, reading stories or doing an activity with no phones/screens might fill her cup. Might work, might not…she’s younger than our lg. And maybe not over talking up the new baby but letting her come to you? I’ve seen some useful things on insta, my fav account is this one: https://www.instagram.com/nurturedfirst?igsh=MTNuZXphcnI4ejJoOQ== You’re doing great I promise xx

I'm not on reduced activities but I have limited mobility and can't do a lot right now. For us we've explained mummy can't do a lot and got her to think about things we can do together that won't cause me more pain so things like watching her favourite show together, playing Minecraft together, she helps me make shopping lists which we then give to daddy and he goes and gets what we need, and also little things like getting her to grab my charger, my water bottle, can you pass me my crutches so I can get up just little things that show her you want to spend time with her and shows her you need her help
