  My puppy knows. He so knows. He likes to jump up on me and my husband (something were starting to train him our of in favor of the baby) but he won't jump or try and wrestle with me. If he does put his paws on me he'll stretch up and rest them gently on me. He's also been way more snuggly.

  My dog totally knows! He's been super attached recently....almost always sitting by me (or on me!) and he's 80lbs ha! I'm also a dog walker and many of the dogs seem as if they know too (some of them I've walked everyday for 2+yrs so they know me well). SO interesting....gotta love them! I am taking extra time to spend with my dog and leaving him with a chewbone/kong when I leave since he's more anxious.

  I'm not sure. My dog is usually kind of snuggly but I feel like he's been more snuggly these past few days but it also could be all in my head.

  I think it's a human's projection most of the time, sorry. My dog is acting no different nor are my friends dogs around me so long as I don't act different. I do think a dog can pick up on your emotional state though so if you are upset/worried/sick, that's proably what the dog is sensing.
  
  And I say this from a place of love for dogs. In all honesty I can sense when a friend/co-worker is pregnant most of the time right after she finds out without telling me. I don't have any super senses...BUT I'm very observant and pregnant women do carry themselves a little differently than usual (hard to describe it...more carefully maybe?) Just my two cents
