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?

My 2nd baby is at terrible 2 stage now too. What I do is to make sure I stay close to him whenever he is throwing tantrums as he can't regulate his own emotions yet. If I need to carry him, I will carry him by sitting down or lie with him together on bed. Apart from carrying your first born, you can plan some activities for your son to do with your wife e.g. art and craft which does not require a lot of energy and strength during pregnancy, at the same time to have bonding between your wife and son.
