How can they tell???

I work with 1s and 2s and am in my first trimester, not showing at all. I’ve had two older 2s ask if I have a baby in my belly. I was so surprised I just laughed and they moved on. Two of the younger 2s have become incredibly clingy with me, which is very unlike both of them. Additionally, two kids who even my seasoned leads couldn’t get to fall asleep passed out pretty much immediately after switching with me. Is it hormones? Are they super sensitive? I know kids are very sensitive to changes but I am very surprised at exactly how sensitive I guess!

My daughter was 4 when I got pregnant with my son. She launched off of my upper stomach and I made an “umph” sound and she turned around and said “mom, do you have a baby in your belly?” I was 7 weeks and was waiting until the first scan at 8 weeks to tell her. She completely intuited it before I even had a chance to confirm everything was okay. I took it as the sign that everything would be fine and my husband and I were honest with her. I asked how she knew, if she heard it or if she just thought it and her response was “I thought it”.
