I have 3 small dogs and 2 cats and I am expecting a baby due Feb 2. My pets all seem to want to sleep near my belly right now - especially my puppy. Can they sense that I am pregnant or is it just a fluke?

If you've had your pet for quite sometime then they will deffinetly start to sence when you are pregnant...they're just like that. They'll know from the morning sickness and from your new sleeping pattern. Especially dogs are like this. Your pets probably want to know whats going on down there! There's a huge lump angd they're curious. Your pets are also naturally going to be protective of you so the might feel threatened by the soon to be new family member.

Well when you are pregnant you have different hormones going through your system that your pets may be able to smell and such. So I am sure that they do have an idea that you are pregnant. The real question you open however is to what extent can we say non-human animals "know" things, but that is a different question altogether. But in so far as they do, I have no doubt that your pets "know" you are pregnant.

Animals can sense a lot of things, I bet he can sense there is a baby. I had a breast reduction and I was in so much pain, I had to sleep sitting up. I woke up to my Chocolate lab, Shitzu and two cats almost on top of me. They knew something was wrong and they stayed close. I think that is adorable that he wants to snuggle near your belly. They are so smart, I read where a dog found cancer in his owner (sense of smell 200 times ours), she had breast cancer and he kept scratching where it was!! Gotta love those animals!

Aww thats super cute! make certain you have a severe high quality new residing house for the little pebbles. I heard rocks could have as much as twenty-5 pebbles. or perhaps you may purely throw them in a circulate? Beats me. I unquestionably have in no way experienced having a pregnant rock! lmao.

my dog is definetly more protective over me now that i am pregnant. he also doesnt jump up on me like he used to. i believe that they can sense it. my neighbor told me that her dog layed by her belly and didnt leave her side the same day she went into labor.. dogs can sense a lot of things, so if you were to ask me.. i would say, "yes!"

I dont think my dog knew, he did keep poking my belly as it got bigger with his nose but I think it was cause it got in the way.
I dont know if they sense it but they sure feel the difference and maybe you smell different now to them too.

yes , they do beacuse they notice that you are barely there or you are often tired and they know your shape at fisrt so then when they see your stomach is getting bigger they notice very well. If you start bringing unusual stuff not for the pet they will know right away. PETS ARE LIKE HUMANS!

In most cases, yes....they know.
Start talking to your veterinarian NOW about things you can start doing NOW to help make the arrival of the new baby less stressful on them.

I think so, when I was preg my cat would jump up and lay on my belly. She never did that before I was and hasen't done it since!
