We think he can hear the heartbeat, and is checking it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-pets-know-youre-pregnant#post-10203 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 19:31:28 +0000 mediagirl 10203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They haven't noticed a thing. They're complete dopes. They still walk all over me, sore boobs, full bladder and all. I'm sure they'll love it when I have a big mound on my belly and they can't walk all over me anymore. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-pets-know-youre-pregnant#post-10191 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 19:08:09 +0000 jennylynn 10191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Our dog pretty much acts the same, which really surprised me. I figured she be more aware of it since she's so protective and clingy to me as it is, but nope. She doesn't seem the notice. The cat is waaaaay more clingy. Like he;s seriously waiting on me to get home from work, and waits on me in the morning. He literally follows me around meowing until I pick him up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-pets-know-youre-pregnant#post-10158 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 17:33:49 +0000 HLK208 10158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is weird but my cat became really close to me and protective with my last pregnancy. He would only sleep on my belly (picture a hen with her eggs). It was really sweet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-pets-know-youre-pregnant#post-10153 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 17:07:17 +0000 pelikila 10153@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my dogs refused to come near me for almost the entire pregnancy. I should have known something was different the night I ended up going into labor because my dog wanted to lay on me for the first time in forever. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-pets-know-youre-pregnant#post-10127 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 16:24:22 +0000 yourekindapretty 10127@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i cant wait to find out if my boys (two dogs) will act any differently. about 2 days before af hits town they let me know by constantly digging their noses into my neitherlands - c o n s t a n t l y. so im pretty sure they'll know somethings up if/when i get pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-pets-know-youre-pregnant#post-10091 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 14:59:23 +0000 Navy_Mommy 10091@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05 - my dogs are like that any way. Even when I'm in the shower, they're both laying on the bath mat right outside the curtain! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-pets-know-youre-pregnant#post-10035 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 13:22:46 +0000 Lindsay05 10035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's funny because during the TWW, my dogs were extremely clingy with me. I noticed that right away and thought, hmmm maybe I am pregnant? But my big dog (100+lbs) literally was stuck to my side everywhere I went. His body had to be touching mine in some way. Now that i'm further along they are not so clingy and seem to be back to their normal behaviours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-pets-know-youre-pregnant#post-10024 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 13:06:45 +0000 Wondermommy 10024@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my oldest, yes, my cats definitely "knew", and one would even lay over my belly in a protective manner. No pets around while I was pregnant with my youngest, though :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-pets-know-youre-pregnant#post-10014 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 12:51:33 +0000 chopsuey 10014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think my dog noticed a difference. He acted the same around me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-pets-know-youre-pregnant#post-10006 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 12:40:15 +0000 Navy_Mommy 10006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>MsMini - I would cry if my dogs started acting standoffish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-pets-know-youre-pregnant#post-9997 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 12:31:30 +0000 MsMini 9997@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My pets have both been standoffish with me, when they are both usually clingers, they sniff at me a lot, and my dog stares at me all.the.time. They definitely know *something* is up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-your-pets-know-youre-pregnant#post-9974 Sat, 05 Nov 2011 11:40:51 +0000 Navy_Mommy 9974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Know how some people say their pets can tell they're pregnant and start acting differently? Have you been experiencing that? When did it start? How did their behavior change?</p> <p>We have two dogs and a cat. The dogs have always clung to me, so they haven't shown anymore attachment to me. I have noticed that our larger dog, Gabby, has 100% stopped jumping up on me, which is nice. When I get home she may jump, but she won't actually put her paws on me. The little dog hasn't changed her behavior at all.</p> <p>The biggest behavior change is our cat Tom. He's never given me much attention but now he won't leave me alone! And he keeps trying to lay on my stomach. Which I wouldn't mind, but he's a BIG cat (almost 30 pounds) and its uncomfortable, lol.</p> <p>So, what has your experience been? </p>
