Dogs in pregnancy

This might be a strange question but had anyone else's dog notice and can tell that your pregnant i think mine has as he never leaves my side and he never jumps on me much anymore I know this app is about babies and mums but dogs are family too and technically my dog stan stanlee is my son and I'd love too see everyone else's dog even with your children as I need a cheer up too

Not a dog but my cats know for sure!! Since I’ve been pregnant my cats have been much more clingy and are always trying to sleep on my tummy 🥰

My dogs will not leave my side, the younger one lays on my belly all the time now bless him x

My dog doesn’t leave my side either, think he knew before I did x

My puppy is the same. So nurturing and caring

I have two chihuahuas who are always so clingy so even if they did I wouldn't know 😂😂

Not a dog but my cat does. She's very careful around my stomach now - were convinced she knew before us!

My boyfriends dog is obsessed with me, lays his head on my tummy, won’t leave my side, lays on my side of the bed when I’m out he never use too it’s all so sweet🥹 They can definitely sense your pregnant and probably hear there little heartbeat! Animals are so intelligent it’s such a lovely thing when there like that Xx

I think my dog knows too! He’s never been very affectionate and has always preferred to cuddle up to my husband, but recently he hasn’t left my side! He’ll choose to sit with me and lay on my feet 🥺 when I walk him, he seems to have become more protective too? If we see another dog at all, his hackles go up and growls a lot! Completely new behaviour!!! He only does it with me, not my partner. Crazy how intuitive they are! 🐾

Omg I think mine are noticing!! They never jump up at me anymore and one keeps coming and checking checking me a lot more than he use too!

I haven't got a dog,but my cat is being really nice to me. 🙂 He used to sleep in his own bed, but now sleeps next to my belly all the time. 🙂

My friends dog knew I was pregnant with my first child and the dog was pregnant too! She spent alot of time by my side when I went to her house! And one of my cats no longer shows pet aggression and is extra loving towards me 😂

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Little girl turning herself sideways in next to me

My little girl tonight, has spun herself so she is lying sideways in her next to me, making me panic!

Is this normal at 4.5 months, do I just lie her back normally/vertically?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Ways to induce labor naturally

Hi All! FTM, Entering week 40 and no signs of labor, no dilation yet. Please share tips and ways to induce natural labor. Induction is already scheduled on week 41 but don’t want to go through that process.

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

Groin pain?

So I’m 34 weeks with my second and for a couple days now I’ve had terrible groin pain so bad that sometimes I can’t even walk or shift a certain way or I feel like the baby is just gonna rip out of my groin… I definitely was uncomfortable towards the end with my last pregnancy but this is just absolutely awful. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or anything that helps?? It’s making it so hard to still care for a toddler when I can barely move without pain..
