My DS is 6 and his little brother is due any day now. I've had a very difficult pregnancy where I've basically been ill the whole way through.
He seems very anxious and in the past 2 days some things have happened which worries me. He wet himself at school yesterday- he basically NEVER has accidents. He's also been very tearful, and very overreactive. My husband had to take him out of the playground today because someone hit his leg and he sobbed his heart out.
He told my husband he is having problems with a friend (whom he adores but whom to be honest is not very kind to him). So that could be it, but it seems like there's something more as his behaviour is very unlike him. He's quite a sensitive, reflective child, prone to taking things to heart but he's also pretty easy going.
So I'm wondering if there is some anxiety about the baby as well. But I've not actually seen or read anything talk about anxiety in children before the baby is here. Has anyone experienced this?
