Our kitten who was normally very hyperactive began sleeping with me all day, particularly on my stomach and also kneaded it with his paws. This was very early on in pregnancy and looking back he did it for a little bit before I even tested positive. <3 Animals definitely can sense it and no one can convince me otherwise haha
Right now im starting to feel the baby move a little bit but... when I lay down to go to sleep my puppy cries cus he wants me to put him on the bed so he can go to sleep with me... its cute cus every night he sleeps with his paw on my belly
My family has a terrier that if you are pregnant, she will always sit on your lap. Now my yorkie plays with my daughter. Every time she kicks, my puppy will place his paw where she last kicked. Its the sweetest thing to watch.
I wouldn't doubt it with all the changes in hormones and dogs super keen senses he may be protective of u too. Just remember to introduce baby slowly and never leave them alone together cuz u just never know especially when baby is able to crawl to play in their food bowl (my son wouldn't stay away from it lol)
I feel like animals can sense it. Idk. My kitten does the same thing.
