Does your dog know you're pregnant?
I'm 13 weeks, so not showing yet, especially to my dog. But ever since we found out, our dog seems to be following me around more, wants to sleep next to me, wants to lay on the couch with me, and if I am in the bathroom gagging, he will stay in there with me. Where in the past, if I wasn't feeling well, he'd act the same, and certainly he'd never stay in the bathroom with me while I was feeling pukey.
Anyone else's dog like this? I think it's so sweet, I just hope he's ok when the baby arrives.

My dog does the exact same thing, and I hope she will be ok when the baby comes too. She is my gluestick now more than ever.

Re: Does your dog know you're pregnant?
It seems that every dog has come up and sniffed my belly - everyone except my own...

Re: Does your dog know you're pregnant?
My dog does all those things naturally, and he's a little goofy. So I wiil have to say no, I don't think he knows!

Re: Does your dog know you're pregnant?
YES! He has been extra snuggly and once in a while acting out! He hasnt ripped up anything since he was a puppy and he started finding napkins and ripping them up.

Re: Does your dog know you're pregnant?
She has laid on my belly a few times and gotten kicked by the baby. Her face is priceless like "What the he!!?"
In the beginning she was sleeping right next to my belly but not so much anymore (She likes her space )
I'm hoping that when we bring him home she will chill out just a little bit.

Re: Does your dog know you're pregnant?
My cats totally know. I wake up in the middle of the night to pee for the thousandth time and they're all around me, swarming me

Re: Does your dog know you're pregnant?
You know..I never thought of this!!! Yes..she follows me everywhere, and wants to be held by me etc. If I don't greet her when I come in... fugghedaboutit!!! I'm hoping that she will adjust well to the baby..since 1. it's a girl 2) she's always been the "princess". Here she is in the cradle we decided not to use.... Image Attachment(s):

Re: Does your dog know you're pregnant?
OMG that cradle pic is adorable!
Well, I'm glad to know it's not all in my head and that our animals really do know what's going on. Here's to them loving the babies when they arrive:

Re: Does your dog know you're pregnant?
Of course!
Scout loves to be pet (only by me, of course) and she'll rub her perfect little head on my belly as I pet her sometimes - precious!!
I think the baby already knows Gunnar is evil - because he'll climb onto my lap to sleep on me and the baby will start kicking....i love it!

Re: Does your dog know you're pregnant?
Maggie did. She had the same experience that Diana's dog did, she would get kicked by the baby and get so confused.
She has been fabulous since we brought Christopher home, she cuddles up to whoever is holding him and looks into the bassinett when he cries. Dogs are pack animals, so they want to take care of the new member of the pack. I can't wait til Christopher can really play with her.

Re: Does your dog know you're pregnant?
I definitely think he senses something...he's been extra mushy but at the same time extra gentle with me (I get greeted by a 75 lbs. ceiling-jumping Boxer everyday) lol

Re: Does your dog know you're pregnant?
Even my bird has become extra cuddly since I got my BFP. I'm now in my 25th week and he is so protective of me. And he's a little parakeet.

Re: Does your dog know you're pregnant?
He absolutely knows but he still jumps on my belly when we are playing fetch. He gets so eager for me to throw the ball. He is more cuddly and a bit more obedeient.
