For those of you with pets, do your pets know your pregnant? My dog ( 125 lb black lab newfoundland) knew within the first tri-mester. I was sweeping the floor and it hit part of my belly and i stopped and instantly said ouch becuase it's a reflex word lol and he came up to me and looked all upset and kept tilting his head until i let him sniff and push his nose into my belly. Any one else have super odd pets who just know? lol

Re: Dog intuition!
It's impossible to know if dogs "know" that we're pregnant. Obviously, they can't come out and tell us. Your dog could have just been reacting to you saying Ouch, as it's probably something you've done before getting pregnant.
It's possible they smell the different hormones that are produced/increased during pregnancy.
The dog in my siggie has become extra-cuddly since I found out I'm pregnant. My shepherd mix, on the other hand, isn't acting any differently.
This!
Miley hasn't left my side. She even stands guard outside the bathroom door. I have to remind myself to watch out and not trip over her if I come out of a closed door. She cries when I'm leaving for the day. I wonder how she'll be when LO is actually here....

My female dog is extra cuddly and protective of me. She actually growled at the vet tech the other day when I took her in for her shots which is totally not in her nature. She does cuddle my belly a lot and she has never been one to do that with me at least.
My male dog is oblivious and still tries to stand on my stomach. 30lbs of dog on my stomach is not comfortable! Oh, he also barks at me to get out of bed now because I don't move fast enough for him anymore.

This!!! LOL and if my husband tries to kiss me or is tickling me our male comes up and jumps on him to knock him out of the way and then stands between us.

My dog started acting funny before I even knew I was PG. She would follow me everywhere and lay her head on my stomach while I was sitting down. It was one of the reasons I decided to take a PG test.
