I have a beautiful 14.5month old DD, and I am nearly 22 weeks pregnant with our second DC.
DP isnt around at the moment (some of you may have read my other posts about this) if not then it's a tricky and sad situation. but if he could be here, he would in an instant. and we are very much in love & happy family, and will be once he returns (possibly the day before my EDD)
Since DP has been gone, DD has been up & down, the first few days were a bit tricky. but then she was back to her usual self. happy, loving & content.
She has recently started walking, so she is tiring quite quickly. she still has a good nap in the day. and sleeps well in the night.
The past 3 days, she has been VERY out of character, unhappy, crying, angry, kicking off at most nappy changes, just getting upset over the slightest thing. She has been pulling on her ears, so I am going to get some drops tomorrow to see if this may be a factor.
I took her to the GP today but it was horrific, ever since DP hasnt been at home with us she has been VERY sensitive around men. not dp,her grampy, or uncle. but every other male. the poor GP couldnt assess her as she was so frightened and distressed, he had to leave the room while i calmed her down.
she does see DP on a weekly basis, but i was just wondering if she is feeling resentment? GP suggested separation anxiety from DP.
Also she seems quite angry/upset at me the past few days. I have been up & down but when I thought it was getting easier, she has been very upset the past 3 days. and seems to be aiming it at me. maybe its because im the dominant only parent around? doing everything and maybe she gets fed up of me? I know pregnancy hormones and kids can sense if you're sad, but i just feel so lost where i dont know how to help? i speak calmly when she is upset, but it takes her ages to calm. We see our friends regularly, go to playgroups so she isnt JUST with only me 24/7.
Sorry for the essay. but i just feel so low even writing this as this really isnt like my little girl :-(
