My 5 year old cocker spaniel loves to sleep near my bump n feel the baby move. In fact when he sits near the bump the baby always reacts with movement/kicks...and yes he too follows me everywhere...

I just gotta say be glad it's a dog or cat. My dog knows and reacts to the pregnancy. As well as my rabbit and cat and goat and donkey and horses. My horse actually always now puts his head to my belly and loves to blow against my bump sending my little girl into a whirlwind of flips and rolls. Its adorable but annoying sometimes when I go to the barn

I think that's the cutest thing ever. Dogs know and will protect that baby. Instead of getting annoyed, be happy and show those doggies some love. My pit does the same thing and I love it!!

Same here my jack Russell follows me around too. I work overnight and he will stay in the room with me while I sleep even if my husband is downstairs. He was always more independent and didn't like to be cooped up sleeping during the day. My husband says since I'm a mammal and so is the dog then he probably knows I'm pregnant

34 weeks here. About the time I hit the 4 month mark,  my lab started following me everywhere.  He licks me in passing on any body part he can.  Paces the door if I shut the door to the bathroom.  If i stand up,  he stands up.  If I sit,  he sits.  I did that for like 10 mins one day and he followed suit every time.  He's nuts.

You just have to let your dog know he is not being replaced by the baby, so he doesn't act out badly by ruining your things.... pet and play with your pet as ususual let him know you still love him. ....

We have a 3 yr old Pomeranian and he's been doing the same thing to me. It was extremely funny when he was laying on the side of my belly and got kicked! He jumped up n freaked out like what the h*** was that n starred at me for hrs and would not lay by the belly again he laid on my legs n starred n whinned. I took a pic if I knew how to post it I would.
