Have you told your no1 that you're pregnant? There's a belief that your child will know when you're expecting. In my case, I did notice signs of neediness in my first and last trimester. lots of tantrums and seeking for attention. I don't know if it's related to my pregnancy but most people concluded that it was. What I did was to keep giving them lots of cuddles. Read books on new siblings (some suggestions here http://www.netmums.com/baby/after-the-birth-helping-your-child-adjust-to-a-new/books-about-babies-to-share-with-your-child). reassure them nothing will change with the arrival of new baby (I keep reiterating they are so lucky that there's an extra person to love them)...basically anything to make them feel better.

But mine is only 10mo. I hav always been cuddling him. Singing and patting him to bed. I only told him he is a big boy now, gonna be a big bro soon. I don say tt often, probably 1-2x only. Tts all.

Cox he used to be very excited when sees
