Does my dog know something?

TreblEM · February 2011

My dog has been extra clingy throughout the whole pregnancy but has gotten progressively worse through the third tri. The last two days, he's been all up in my business--thank goodness he only weighs 7lbs! Right now, he's curled up on my lap with his head on my bump staring at me. With my dd a week away, I'm starting to wonder if perhaps he knows something I don't! Maybe I smell different. Anyone else's dog/pet getting more and more clingy?

Some people swear their animals act differently when they are close to labour...maybe it's your time soon.

My cat has been a little more clingy than usual, but she is pretty much glued to me all the time anyway. PLus I don't think she knows anything is different anyway.

My dog has been stalking me for days! I doubt she knows anything, but she is driving me nuts.

I think my dog knows. Ever since I started showing if we take her around other people/dogs she gets super protective of me. She won't let anyone near me unless its my fam or my DH. If she doesnt know you forget it. And now she is always laying on my belly. She even wags her tail when LO kicks her lol

I think my dog mostly follows me around to see what I'm eating but yes, he's been particularly attached to me lately. For the past couple of nights, I've woken up to him staring me in the face. I've wondered if he knows something is about to happen, but I think he's just picking up on our efforts as we get ready for the baby.

I posted something similar in the march board... mine is a major stalker at this point.

This. And ours is a 65 lb Golden Retriever that wants to Snugbug with Mommy all the time. He follows me endlessly. No matter where I go. I can move from one side of the couch to the other and he is right at my feet.

I have a yorkie that was clingy from before I was pregnant. Now it's just ridiculous. People might think I'm crazy, but I do believe they sense that change is near. I actually feel a little guilty. He's always gotten all of my attention and in a few days he's going to be #2.

Poor baby!!!

I have a 75 lb pitbull who thinks that he is a lap dog. lately he has been such a mommys boy, he is usually all about his daddy. I can't make a move without him right by my side. He has even been barking at every little noise he hears, which he normally never does. He definitely knows something is going on and I feel like now that I am getting closer to my due date he has been super clingy

My dog is like a pet rock...all she does is sleep and eat. I seriously doubt she'll even notice when the baby gets here, or if/when I go into labor.

hahaha

my dog does this too! seriously this whole past week maybe even longer ive woken up to him sitting next to the bed just staring at me. its really creepy. but i usually just get up and take him outside because i want him to stop staring at me mostly.

my dogs are all following me around more closely than normal but i too think it's mostly because of the food factor. i have to walk around with my spray bottle all the time so i can get them out of my business. they've been driving me nuts! however i really hope its not my time yet...this baby still has a little bit of time to cook!

I absolutely believe my dog knew that I was going to go into labor with my daughter, so I am watching her behavior this time around.

That day she was super clingy, always trying to sit on my bump. She chewed two holes in the carpet, she had never done that before and has never done that since. Even when I yelled at her for chewing the holes in the carpet she wanted right back in my lap.

I took her on a walk and she was being stubborn the whole walk. So we walked down to my parents house and she normally goes in and greets my parents and then spends all her time in my Dad's arms (he carries her around like a princess and feeds her snacks) and she ran in, greeted them and then went right back to my lap.

I went into labor that night at 1am. (ok so technically that's morning)

We have a german shepherd that is super protective of me. She won't let anyone near me other than my husband. The vet said after I left her there to be spayed she turned into a normal, calm dog. So, I think it might be the pregnancy.

I have a female miniature pinscher and a male pitbull. I think the male pitbull has really gotten attached to me...I can't even go to the bathroom without him sitting right outside the door waiting for me to come out! He won't even let my husband take him for a walk....he comes running to me! But I don't really notice my female dog acting too differently..

Same with our Golden Retriever! Very clingy the whole pregnancy, but now she's on me like a wet paper bag!
