Anyone else's dogs become defiant when pregnant?

My dog has always been well behaved and usually listens to me better than my husband but since I got pregnant it seems like he's actively defiant against me, especially when my husband isn't home. When he's home the dog is back to his well behaved self or whenever people are over but when it's just me he acts out and refuses to listen. It's driving me crazy and no one understands because he's so good around everyone else. I've heard of dogs becoming more protective when their owners are pregnant but has anyone else's dogs become defiant? Does it get better once the baby is born?

Mine are just constantly getting under my feet & super clingy. To the point I've accidentally kicked them when I turn around & they are right there, or I've almost fallen because they are glued to me & won't stay out from under my feet. They are lab mixes, big, loveable, cuddle bugs & I love them to pieces, but they will not listen & give me any space. They did it when I was having my 2nd kiddo 2 years ago & are just as bad now. They will eventually get back to normal, but being about to pop, its been driving me nuts.

@Stacy Mine is also constantly in the way, he's less clingy but whenever I'm trying to go anywhere he's standing or laying in the way, and if I tell him to move he somehow gets more in the way 😂 he's also a lab mix

Mine tried to stay as far away from me as possible. He's 85 lbs and only 2, so i think he was worried he'd hurt me or the baby. But all I wanted were puppy cuddles during my pregnancy

@Hayley I remember with my 2 year old coming home after he was born, it took about a month for them to fully adjust & settle back into their normal behavior. They have always been cuddlers, but they did eventually start to listen again & stay out from under my feet.

@Stacy thank goodness cause I don't know how I'm going to handle him and a baby. My husband is military so I'm often the only one home.
