She may be too young to even comprehend that you are going to be having a new baby, even though you may have explained it to her many times. Young children don't have much concept of what the future holds, they react to what is going on in their lives RIGHT NOW. Most likely she is going through an attachment stage, which is very normal for toddlers. If there is something else that's changed in her life recently, like going to daycare or moving to a new home, that could make her more clingy. In my opinion, you might be better off NOT placing too much emphasis on your pregnancy. Just try to give her as much affection and attention as you can now, and even after the baby comes make sure she does not feel neglected! Good luck!
