Do you think animals know you are pregnant before you do?

Question

I just round out this morning that I'm pregnant with my 2nd child. I'm beginning to think that my 2 kittens knew before I did. The past week or two they have been jumping on the bed and kneading/sucking on my microfleece blanket. They only do this when I'm covered up by it and have never done it to my husband. What do you think?

Answer 1

If the baby's heart was beating allready, it is possible they could hear 2 heartbeats instead of one.

There are also unexplained accounts of pets smelling chemichal changes in a person's body (dogs that can predict siesures.. the cat who can predict when an old person is going to die in the next few hours)..

So.. who knows!!

Answer 2

I think its a possibility since they can sence other things...so i would say its a 50/50 chance

Answer 3

i believe animals can sense that, especially female cats... when it is your time of the month a female cat knows it, I don't know how but they do.
when it was that time of the month for me, my cat would not come anywhere near me, but when i was not on it she was all socialable like nothing was wrong. it took me months to figure that out.
