3.5 yr old hates his pregnant MaMa

Ok i know he doesnt hate me but he sure is acting like it. Every morning telling me “NO”, asking for DaDa to do EVERYTHING with no MaMa help. I do think this behavior did start before he realized he was going to be a big brother. But its been pretty consistent for about a month now, the breakdowns, the tantrums, only DaDa can help with. He wont let me- i somehow make it worse 😭😖

Added context- i am out of the house more than Dad, my job is much further away, so Dad takes on more of the day to day childcare. But i make his dinner every night, take him to school when i can, plan all the weekend activities and give him the general “hey i love you” affectionate even though he pushes me away.

Could be some of the hormones talking, but i am reqlly sad 😫 I feel helpless. Would love any and all advice to get through this difficult transition and be there for my toddler.
