She has been super, duper clingy with me and has been trying to lay on top of my stomach at night. I put this on another thread, but sometimes I wander if she's trying to be close to whatever is in there or suffocate it! :-) I keep pushing her off my stomach so she can sleep behind me. I noticed that it would feel like she was somehow pushing into my back to be closer to me. When I said something to DH about it, he told me that she has been putting all four paws on him and pushing against him so she can be really pressed against my back! For some reason, I think that's hysterical. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-pet-know-you-were-preggers#post-494815 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:44:58 +0000 prettylizy 494815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My big dumb boxers had no idea :S I love the so much but man, they are simple creatures. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-pet-know-you-were-preggers#post-494770 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:20:27 +0000 SAHM0811 494770@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, my cavalier king charles spaniel was extra, extra clingy!! It was one reason I decided to finally test. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-pet-know-you-were-preggers#post-494769 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 17:19:10 +0000 blackbird 494769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine would make biscuits on my tummy, which he never did before I got pregnant! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-pet-know-you-were-preggers#post-494691 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:47:54 +0000 sslm 494691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I think Leroy knows because he's been so cuddly and that's so out of character for him. He usually acts like he hates me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-pet-know-you-were-preggers#post-494634 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:29:55 +0000 Rescuemom10 494634@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES!!!! I have 4 cats, 4 dogs. One of my cats INSTANTLY became more clingy than normal. If I am home, I have to be in eye sight of her, preferably she wants to lay on me.<br /> All my dogs act different in different ways. (Boxer, Aussie, pug/chihuahua, and a Chiahuahua) One who has always been more my DH dog...watches me more now. Like if I go upstairs she will follow. My smallest dog (Chihuahua) likes to sleep with me at night which is normal, but now she likes to lay closest to my belly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-pet-know-you-were-preggers#post-494607 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:22:59 +0000 BananaPancakes 494607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dog acted weird around me for a while, but then took to flat out ignoring me. She was not into it, and still couldn't care less about the baby. She just ignores him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-pet-know-you-were-preggers#post-494583 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:18:03 +0000 immabeetoo 494583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! Our dog didn't leave my side when I was preggo it was sweet. Now that baby's here he's accepted him as family and snuggled him when he gets the opportunity it's adorable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-pet-know-you-were-preggers#post-494567 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:12:49 +0000 Bookish 494567@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I've noticed a weird difference in my cat since we found out! She wants to sleep on my lap all the time and is generally paying more attention to me... the same cat that when I moved in with DH peed on all my stuff :p It's weird!!! She's also less aggressive and has been generally more chill. I'll take it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-pet-know-you-were-preggers#post-494565 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:11:30 +0000 rachiecakes 494565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>From early on my cat, who usually hates me, was all over me, rubbing her head on my belly. I took video and pictures because it was so weird. She was obsessed with my belly from about 6 weeks on! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-pet-know-you-were-preggers#post-494564 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:11:24 +0000 edelweiss 494564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>if my dogs know, they haven't been showing it! they sometimes rest their chins on my belly (i'm 38 weeks), but they do that with pillows, toys, shoes, etc. so it doesn't mean much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-pet-know-you-were-preggers#post-494563 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:11:21 +0000 autumnlove 494563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think he did. He was really mopey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-pet-know-you-were-preggers#post-494561 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:09:24 +0000 Bao 494561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My cat got more pissy towards me when I was pregnant, someone suggested the hormones. I don't know lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-pet-know-you-were-preggers#post-494556 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:06:39 +0000 BelugaBean 494556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I think my cat knew. He was super snuggly with me and just seemed to be acting different. </p> <p>He also knew when I was about to go into labor. The night before, he was cuddled up to me more than usual and got mad at me when I'd get up to go to the bathroom or something. I knew something was different that night and my contractions started at 6:45 the next morning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-pet-know-you-were-preggers#post-494553 Thu, 10 Jan 2013 16:04:57 +0000 shopaholic 494553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've heard a lot about how your pet can tell when you're pregnant. Some people even swore their pets "knew" and started acting different before they knew they were pregnant themselves! </p> <p>Though I can't say that for myself, our little furbaby is A LOT more cuddly and snuggly with me, when she is usually a Daddy's Girl and only wants me sooo much when she's not feeling well. I don't mind though, I was always jealous when she wanted DH more (even though she was MY dog!) I think by now she can probably HEAR baby's heartbeat? </p> <p>Did your pet "know" you were pregnant? :) </p>
