Im pregnant with my second, in 2nd trimester now. My 4 year old beti suddenly started complaining of nausea and tummy issues same time as me, its so strange. Is it possible kids feel mom's symptoms or am i overthinking? curious if anyone experienced this.
I am in my second trimester and this is so interesting! Did anyone else's older kids start acting differently or mimicking your symptoms? It makes me a bit anxious to think they might be feeling my stress or tiredness.
Ghar pe my MIL says that little kids have a special connection and can sense a new baby coming before anyone else. My daughter also became very clingy and started saying her tummy hurts when I was pregnant. It's just their way of adjusting to the upcoming change.
Haan na, kids are so sensitive to their mothers' vibes! Sometimes they see us feeling tired or nauseous and start acting the same way or demanding extra attention. It is completely normal for them to react like this.
My pediatrician mentioned that children cannot physically feel pregnancy symptoms, but they are highly perceptive to behavioral shifts in the mother. If they notice you resting more or vomiting, they might mimic those behaviors to seek attention or show empathy. It's a psychological response, not a physical one.
Children are very sensitive to changes around them and often mimic their mothers. She might just be reacting to your energy levels or showing empathy in her own sweet way.
