Pregnant and sleeping with a pit bull....

Is an interesting experience!  She now wants to be UNDER the blankets with her head on my belly.  It's super sweet, but I feel like pits give off more body heat than other dogs (?).  Anyone else noticing weird things with their pets since they've been pregnant?

Re: Pregnant and sleeping with a pit bull....

  • Mine could care less that I am pregnant I think. Well my oldest has started napping in the room with me rather than laying in the living room like she normally does but I swear the only thing I am good for is feeding them and treats.

  • Haha my boxer definitely knew I was pregnant before we did and my sister's pit was very defensive of me over the holidays.

    We don't let our dog sleep in bed with us or let him on the furniture but he's been trying a lot more to climb on top of me ever since I got pregnant. 

    Good luck with your new snuggle friend!

  • I have a wiener dog, he's always been my DH's. a week before we found out we were expecting he became really attached to me. He wants to sit on my lap lay with me and follows me everywhere. I for sure think he knew before I did. 
  • Evertime I'm pregnant our dog(a 25lb beagle) has to be touching me while we sleep. She has always slept in bed with us but she only sleeps on my when I'm pregnant and she is very protective of me

  • My cat sleeps on me all the time now at night, same when I was pregnant with DS.  Thankfully the dog isn't allowed on furniture or the bed, but he could care less anyway

    I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929

  • My dog, Emmitt does not leave my side. He must sleep between my legs and his head on my belly. I even moved out to the couch in the middle of the night and he followed me out an plopped right back in his spot. It makes me strangely happy to have him so close to me all the time. And our other dog, Jade... She has been extra silly and loving. I can't wait to introduce the baby to the dogs and watch their bound grow. It makes me heart melt!! Gah!!!! Stupid hormones!!!!!!!
  • I have two stupid cats and the one girl is always lovey so that is nothing new, she always slept with me before. The boy is a big jerk normally but has been sleeping right by my side or on me every night. I dont know if it is the hormones he can smell or him just being wierd but I think he is nuts either way.

    THIS!

    Only change in any of my animals has been the cat wanting to knead my stomach like a mofo. Other than that, the bird, gecko and tortoise don't give a sh!t unless their food is late.

  • Our pitte likes to sleep on my tummy. With both boys I would be sleeping and just suddenly have this head in the middle of my stomach. lol. My german just likes to cuddle with me; he will lay on the bed beside me and lay his head on the pillow beside me.

  • My pit bull/beagle mix has always laid on my lap when she's sleepy, but ever since I've been pregnant, I've also noticed her becoming even more protective and attached. When we go up to bed at night, it seems like she waits to make sure I'm asleep, curls up under the blankets with me, and lays right on top of my legs.
