My wife is expecting our second child (20th week) and starts getting back pain etc. Our 19mo year old is getting into his difficult phase and starts throwing a tantrum if he doesn't get what he wants. Due to her condition, she stopped carrying him around. He's obviously upset but has to put up with it. At the same time, my wife feels that she isn't giving him the love he wants. Any advice or tips?

When I was pregnant with my second baby, my toddler, too, wanted me to carry her even when I had such a big belly and aching back. I would carry her for a few seconds and then sit on the sofa while letting her sit on my lap and laying down on my chest. It worked. I think sometimes they just want that physical contact as emotional assurance, so any contact would do. :)
