Big Dogs- Looking for Reassurance

seagirl12 · February 2013

Ok, so I had a lapse in judgement when I was playing with my dog. I am almost 8 weeks along, and I was playing with my big German Shepherd on the bed. I pulled her close to me, then stopped because I realized that probably wasn't the best idea. I don't feel any soreness, but I was worried because she's like 80 pounds. I obviously don't plan on making this a habit. I just wanted to know I'm gonna be ok.

You're going to be just fine. I still let my 190-lb. husband on top of me from time to time. Wink

if you don't feel soreness you're fine. the main risk is pulling a muscle. (as I have been told) [also I assume you were talking about moving the dog not having it sit on you]

Yes Yes

I totally laughed out loud at this AND had to read it to my husband! Thanks!

To original poster - I have a 80 lb yellow lab. There were times with my first pregnancy that she thought she was a lap dog. She didn't bother my prego belly at all. Good luck!!
