Bf won't tell his family

Idk what it is exactly he just won't tell them. He might be scared or he might just be ashamed if himself and if me. And he keeps telling me I'm not taking my pregnancy seriously because I kept my pets. He thinks by just them being around I'm hurting the baby.

my dog protects my cats when there outside :) its weird that a rottie likes cats, but about the telling parents thing -_- my fiancé didn't tell his dad until I was 7 months.. I had to threaten to leave before he would tell him( I was like are you just planning on calling him and telling him to come to the hospital and surprise him with a baby..)

ive got a wiener dog and three kittens, im 13+5 so im out of the first tri, its really time for him to tell them lol. the cats don't come near the baby stuff because he doesn't let them in our room. I don't see the problem with having pets at all because my mom had cats throughout her pregnancy with me and ive lived with them all my life lol

.. if your animals have their shots there not going to hurt a baby(in the womb) but be careful with dogs -_- I have a Rottweiler but he's outside so I don't really worry about him, but my aunts Doberman was laying underneath her babys bassinet swing thing and the door opened and the dog jumped up knocking the bassinet over(thankfully she was holding the baby at the time).. but animals can sense what a baby is they can even sense your pregnant that's why most dogs calm down when there owner is pregnant or cats cling to their owners the only things you have to worry about is accidents(like if a baby is crying a cat will try to soothe it by laying on the babys chest, and it could end up smothering a baby and not mean too).. but I have 2  cats and they don't bother the babys stuff so I think it'll be good if they start giving me a problem ill put a broom by the babys crib :)

If you have cats that are indoor and out door that could be a problem they can carry an disease that you can contract and it can hurt the baby. But other than that a dog shouldn't matter as long as you keep them clean

We have a mutt dog(mixed with multiple breeds) and she was my fiances grandfathers dog. he was really close to his grandad. well when he passed his nanny kept the dog. shes kinda a neighborhood dog. she roams the field and plays with the horses next door and everyone loves her. well a couple weeks ago a guy walkin down the street said she bit him. shes never done tht before. well guy threatened to have her put down so we took her in. shes gonna have to stay in r room wit the baby bc theres nowhere else for her but i have an air purifier and vaccum everyday as well as give her a bath every 2 days. i just pray chicken little isnt allergic to dogs.
