3 year old jealousy!

[Sazzgen3]

Please I need some advice as I am at a dead end. I have a very full on 3 year old, fits the description of if you had the second child first you wouldnt have another yes i had the second one first, who i think is going through some jealousy issues.
When I have people over she doesnt play well with the kids if there are kids around, and she goes feral! She becomes naughty and even will wet herself and I dont know what to do!
I am 31 weeks pregnant with the second and I am very hormonal and uncomfortable and big at the moment lol. I dread having people over and even to take her to other peoples houses if they dont know what she is like! She can be such a beautiful gorgeous little girl and sharing and gentle etc but she just goes insane when others are around.
I am starting to panic and worry what is going to happen when the baby comes along and for once I have no clue as to what to do!

Please someone throw me some ideas!

It does sound like a jealousy thing and that she's going a bit bananas when she doesn't have your undivided attention. Probably linked into a fear about what will happen the baby comes along. Maybe try talking to her about the baby and give her lots of reassurance.

My DD1 likes to say that "I was the driver, wasn't I mum?" in terms of coming out first. She also likes me telling her that I wasn't a mummy until I had her and that I loved her so much that I wanted another baby.

Try not to worry too much - I know it's hard not to but you'll most likely find that everything falls into place once the baby's here. Much easier to solve things when they happen rather than trying to anticipate what those problems might be. (I'm very good at giving this particular advice, not so good at taking it myself btw )

Actually, I think it's more a 3 year old thing. Both of mine went a bit nuts around then. With dd I thought it was because of ds, but then he went through it too. Just know that it does pass
