animals staying close?

Anyone's pets getting extra clingy since being pregnant?

I write this as my cat is sleeping on me...my cat has always been more attached to me than anyone else..but since I've been pregnant she follows me everywhere, if I go upstairs she's following me up and rubbing up on me, if I go nap she's napping with me, if I watch tv downstairs there she is right behind me on the couch..I can call her from anywhere in the house and she comes running full speed! The dog is the same but not as crazy clingy as the cat lol the dog is more of a guard of me since becoming pregnant

Oh, and my SIL was pregnant at the same time and she avoided her, too. She's super protective of my son now. When he was a newborn and we put him in hubbys mom's bed to nap, she'd sit by his feet and the second he woke, she'd cry until someone came in to get him.

My husbands mom has the dacshund that follows me around constantly when I'm there. Everyone's calls her my butt plug lol when I leave, she cries at the door for 2 hours.

With my son, we lived there for a while and she did everything with me. She even tried hopping in the shower a few times and she hates baths.

Its even weirder because she doesn't like ANYONE and avoids people at all costs... except me...

My cats are driving me insane. Like. Completely mad. They won't give me two feet of space. I try pushing them away and they come right back. The only thing that works for me is shaking a water bottle. And even that only keeps them away few min tops.

I have three dogs and I'm pretty sure one knew I was pregnant before we did. Now he's like glue attached to me everywhere I go. If I'm sitting he's on my lap or right next to me. If I'm in the kitchen he's there watching everything I'm doing.
