Pets and pregnancy

Anyone else's pets just seem to know and be perfectly content?

My dogs have been through this song and dance before, but they were much younger at the time. I got our first dog when I pregnant with baby #1, and that pup would always lay on my bump and play with the unborn child when there was kicking, it was kind of adorable. The second dog came around shortly before I got pregnant with baby #2, and both dogs doted on that bump, too.

Now they seem to just know again! Especially dog #2 is laying herself straight into my abdomen whenever I lay in bed. Its kind of adorable.

  • I really wish my pets knew, but they are such sweet dopes hahah. I have a cat and a dog and they’re both totally unaware, but the cat loves my 2 year old more than anything in the world which is super sweet 🥹

  • My cats knew immediately with both pregnancies. My boy cat likes to cuddle more, I think it’s mainly because my increase of body heat. My girl cat comes and sits on my tummy all the time. She usually does this when I’m menstruating but during my first pregnancy she did it the entire and started again this pregnancy before I even missed my first period. It’s so sweet 
  • Pretty sure my big dopey dog didn't know I was pregnant with my first kid until I was 38 weeks pregnant 🤣 so he definitely doesn't know anything is different.

    We have a 3-legged barn cat who is obsessed with me when I'm pregnant. She loves to cuddle on my belly
