I have two labradors both 1 year old and since falling pregnant its almost as if i cant do anything without them... They dont let me go to the toilet.. They dont let me sleep alone.. They lie infront of my seat on the couch.. They are extremely cute and loving like ive had really bad morning sickness n they sit and take care of me and like when im in bed they cover me with the duvet like literally drag it over me... Has anyone else had this? Think im just worried about when the baby gets here like how theyl react? But at the same time its really cute lol

I think dogs sense it, I'm 18 weeks and my Chihuahua lays next to me with his head on top of my belly and when anyone tries to touch my belly he starts growling and doesn't let nobody touch me.

Mine was exactly like that. When I would get off of work he would meet me at the door and set and give me a hug and he would lick my belly as if he missed his sister. He was hit by a truck in front of our faces a month and a half ago and my stepson insisted we get a new one. So we got a girl this time and she is attached to me sleeps on top in me and if we are riding in the car she will cry and cry until she is in my lap. It's almost as I'm her comfort zone. She is still a baby 11 weeks old. I think she knows I'm the mother of the house. I wouldn't have anything other than a lab they are wonderful family dogs and very protective! I'm worried about when the baby gets here too. With this one being only 11 weeks and baby is going to be here in 8. I'm sure yours will do great because they are a year and out of their puppy stage. My other one I wasn't worried about. Just a teething pup is stressful. All I can think of is her biting on my baby girls feet lol!

They are being protective right now. It's sweet. They will be protective with the baby too. My dogs started getting into with each other over who could be close to the baby so be careful too. My dogs were both female idk if that matters

dogs do sense these things and become very protective. i have a fair few working dogs and two of them will stand by my side and growl at any other dogs that come to close to me. and when im outside playing with the dogs theres one that walks by my side so i can lean on him for support its really amazing

We just adopted our dog from the local shelter when I was about 25 weeks and he's super protective of me and my bump lol I'm in the bath tub right now and he's laying on the bath mat beside me lol I'm worried to about his behaviour after baby but I'm sure he'll protect her as well.
