My dog jumped on me and I am worried she hit the soft spot on my baby's head. Do you think it's okay? Does it matter that she is a pit bull? I am concerned about this.
I don't know, did she pee on you too? That might be a sign of dominance.
If she did pee on you, have your SO pee on her to establish pack order. I would say that you should do it, but it's difficult to aim in this stage of the game.
No, the baby is definitely not okay. Since it was a pit bull (who should all be put down by the way) your baby will probably come out having brain damage. In which case you have 2 choices....feed the baby to the pitbull, or keep the baby in a cage.
Your kid will now have a giant paw print formed on the top of his or her head. But this will make it easy for identification at the hospital when baby is born. Just remember to include your dog in your list of things to bring with you to the hospital.
OMG you have a pit bull in the house? Aren't you afraid she's going to lock that jaw on your big old belly while you are sleeping? You know, most pit bulls have water on their brains and they just snap and turn on their owners. It doesn't matter how much love and training you have invested, you need to get rid of her right now. If you don't no one will want to come to the house to see the new baby and you can forget about play dates at your house.

She could just re-home the baby.
I am sure most adoption agencies have very long waiting list for babies with pit bull paw indentations on their heads.
I think it means she's already trying to dominate your kiddo.
Oh noes. Should I pee on her to show her who is boss?
Definitely. DH needs to as well for good measure.
Ditto 1000%. If that doesn't work, then should should just tie her up to a tree and leave her outside all day. It could also be the food you're feeding her too. Perhaps you should look into changing to Purina or Science Diet.

Man, I didn't realize how much my brain suffers when I'm on a lowered amount of caffeine. I almost thought this was a serious question for a split second. I suck!
I'd tell you to go post this over on the Pets board on the Nest - but they are all a bunch of crazy, pet-loving, freaks who treat their pets like family. Get this - they keep the animals in the house and actually like pit bulls! They literally are weirdos over there.

Sorry - you need to get educated more. Old Roy is the way to go . . . .
These are all such helpful suggestions. Thank you so much.
I already plan on crating the baby. It has worked so well for our dog and it will be so much easier than finding a qualified babysitter.
We're currently training our 2 cats and 1 dog to change diapers. Right now my husband is the test subject and he's only been scratched a few times. I'm even going to buy little nurse's caps for them. It'll be just like Nana in Peter Pan!
If you accomplish this I will pay you to come train mine
Forget crates, do you have a fenced in back yard? Babies can spend all day outside and be perfectly happy.
You have to be careful though, because someone broke into my cousin's back yard and stole the little one because she was a full bred baby. My cousin spent about $30k on her, so needless to say he's devastated.

If it was a full bread baby, it would have been even more devastating. Those full bread babies are SUPER expensive.
But I'm sure that OP's baby will be fine. She can just put the baby outside with food and water and the baby will be so happy to be outside that the OP won't even notice.
Babies like the outdoors - haven't you seen them asking to go outside? Sitting at the back door, just waiting to be let out? And then once they are out, they HATE to come back in. Best just to leave it outside.
When your DH gets home, you should have him beat the dog so that she knows she did something wrong. And then jump on her tummy to show her how it feels.
(EDIT: Okay seriously, someone once posted something like that on these boards once. The dog jumped on her tummy and when he got home, he beat the dog... Like that makes any sense at all!)
If that doesn't work just sell your dog on CL. There are millions of loving homes that want your dominant dog there!!!
That is a good point. There is a huge shortage of pit bulls out there, isn't there?
Yup its a rare bread. And make sure to charge $200-300 so you can get some compensation for your trouble.
Or if you need to get rid of it NOW you could just go sit in a Walmart parking lot and try to give your dog away to a shopper. They'll love and care for your dog for ALWAYS.

Nope, Old Roy made both our dogs and DH very gassy, they had to switch to Beneful.

Hmm tough call, sell the baby. Then you have plenty of time to bread your dog all the time since it wants to be a mommy/daddy and you can make lots of money from them.

Are you serious with this question? Am I missing something here?!?!
ETA: Ok, what did I miss??? I hate stupid animal owners, and unfortunately there are more stupid ones than smart ones!

Bwahaha. Yes...you should. I may have to do that to Apollo Puppy, too.

Love.

We were thinking the same thing! It saved us from having our (ok well some) walls chewed up.

Seriously! How do I go about getting one of these?

Your dog was trying to win dominance over the baby while still in the womb so the baby can't fight back.
According to Cesar Milan you need to lay on your dog with your belly helping to hold the dog down so your baby can show the dog who is the alpha.
If that doesn't work just sell your dog on CL. There are millions of loving homes that want your dominant dog there!!!

Remember, if your DH doesn't agree with your methods, you can always rehome him
Great idea!

Chaining is better than letting her run free, right?
That post makes me sick.
But food wise, we're on the Gravy Traaiiiiiiiin
