19 mo DD rejecting DH - how long will it last?

I have been flavour of the month for a while now, but it seems to be getting worse - DD pushes DH away, won't sit with him or be held by him, and definitely won't hug or kiss him! All this is when I'm in the room/vicinity, she's better when they're on their own. I feel ever so sorry for DH who is being very reasonable and sensible about it, but I can tell he feels a bit hurt. DD is ridiculously affectionate with me, which is lovely but being the only acceptable parent is a bit wearing from my perspective too!

Oh and dc2 is due in 4 weeks so god knows what effect that will have...

Does anyone have any experience/advice please?

All of mine (I have 4) have become really clingy when I have been heavily pregnant. I think its because at that age they are aware something is going to happen and they know there is going to be a change but they are too young to understand what it is. When DC is born she will more than likely go back to her usual self, so I wouldn't worry too much about it, she will go through lots of phases of seemingly favouring one parent over the other.
