I was thinking of asking,the same,thing. My one year old LOVES jumping around and being all over Me. Glad it's,not too,violent but I still creep out sometimes.

Same here i have one daughter almost 2 years and i'm only 11w my body is too weak and i had miscarriage in march, so i'm so scared of her jumping all the time on me when i tell her there is a baby inside she stands on my tummy .. She don't like me to be pregnant and i don't want to push her away all the time, so i go to my bed room to get rest and leave her with her daddy..

My little girl is the same way and her 2nd birthday is 4 days after my due date. I just sat her down and talked to her. I pulled up my shirt to let her see my tummy and she has felt her brother kicking and everything, which by the look on her face you could tell she was shocked lol. She does pretty good about waiting until daddy comes home and jumping on him and everything. Now with me all she wants to do it play with bubby by pressing on my stomach to feel him move and she puts her mouth up to my stomach and talks to him. Sweetest thing in the world.

My daughter is 18 an full of energy so when I'm sitting on the couch or laying down she loves to run an jump on me. Which is fine but sometimes it hurts so I just tell her you have to be careful cause your brother is is in there we have to be gentle an then she usually kisses an rubs my belly an is fine an sometimes it doesn't work cause well she's still young so she'll get a time put if she's to crazy an I tell her to say sorry to mommy an baby an she does.  Just have to have patience it's not always easy but they catch on

Yeah my daughter plays super rough too shes like a little boy lol but when she starts jumping on me I tell her no not now because of baby sister and she starts laughing and hitting my stomach . You shouldnt worry to much because baby is very protected in there but dont let them get away with to much or it could hurt one day

I'm going to be honest...I have a one yo and a two yo. they are pretty rough with me. climbing on me, jumping on me, standing on my stomach, etc. and normally it's both of them at the same time. and I'm carrying twins. my doctors aren't concerned. baby is well protected in there, just make sure it's not too wild. when it's more than I can handle, I just put my one yo next to me or show him something else to play with and he's distracted easily. my two yo is trickier. he does know there are babies in there and likes to give them kisses, rub my belly, talk to them, etc. but doesn't realize that them being in there hurts mommy. I just tell him it hurts and it's not nice to mommy or the babies. sometimes he listens. when he doesn't, he gets a time out. when he gets in trouble, he likes to snuggle after his time out so that keeps him calm for awhile. I also ask him to say sorry to mommy and the babies when he's done with time out (I let him say it, sign it, or show he's sorry with hugs and kisses so he feels control in the situation still). sorry for the novel!

He gets plenty of attention he's just rough even before  I got pregnant we play wrestling, do arts and crafts and ride bikes and everything I just don't want him to feel some type of way cause we can't do some of the things that we usually do.

Im 35 weeks and I have a daughter thats almost 2 and oh my god she runs around screaming momma and she jumps on my tummy and loves bouncing lol I just picm her up and put her on the floor and we jump and run around together. I LOVE playing with her and I feel terrible when I feel sicm and dont feel like doing anything so my husband plays with her or puts on some cartoons. Im so greatful for having him here to help me out.
Why not get your baby daddy or whoever you live with to help you out and keep your son busy or you play him yourself. Hes a baby sweety he knows that babys coming, he feels it sp giving him all the attebtion you can now would be a good idea so he doesnt feel left out

Talk to him. Tell him mommy has someone who he will soon play with . Mommy needs him to be really good so she can take care of his best friend and if he gives mommy a hard time he might not be able to play with his new friend. .....lol i would keep it that simple
