new pregnancy and toddler strange behaviour

I'm seven weeks pregnant! Totally unplanned, BT am excited.
Before I found out I was pregnant (two weeks ago), my toddler started acting weird,.
She is almost three, has been potty trained since she was 1 year old. She can feed herself, and sleeps in her own bed.
BT since four weeks ago, she wiwi's on herself, she wants to b fed, wants to sleep in our bed, cries at night. Wants to b carried all the time.!
Could it be that she was sensing it all along DAT I'm pregnant, and wen does this annoying behavior end. Any1 with experience in this.?

Make it about her. Tell her SHE is going to have a baby sister or brother, to watch over, play with, teach things to. This will help her to realize that you still need her in your life. Just because a baby is coming doesn't mean that she will be irrelevant.

Yes my two year became more clingy cried more and my daughter who is five is acting out more. They know before we do. My mother has always told me if you have a kid that is six months or young and starts to move like learn quickly its cause they are making way for the next babu. Crazy but happened to me every pregnancy.

They definitely sense a change in mommy. My four and five year old have been clingy and needy since I got pregnant this time. She is just trying to reassure herself that things haven't really changed and mommy is still there for her. It might help to talk to her about the baby, it is still early but it might help her world make sense.

She could be or just being a 3yr old. I have a boy who just turned 4 and he is jealous of the baby already and I'm only 7wks 3 days.
