Is there anyone who is pregnant, has pets and no longer wants the pets in the house? I have two big dogs and a cat and am finding it increasingly more difficult to tolerate them in my house. First of all is the issue of smell when it comes to the dogs, and second is the cat wanting to be in any room in the house. I normally like animals but am beginning to change my mind about actually living with them. I am to the point where I would give them away if it were not considered cruel. Is this normal? And, does anyone else feel this way? My own husband actually said that I have become mean to them. Don't misinterpret this - I don't hurt the animals (and would not even entertain the idea), I just don't want them in my house, on my bed, in the baby's room-to-be, etc. Help!
I don't know when you are due, but if you would like to find a group of mothers-to-be due the same month as you, check out this list~

Hope you continue to have a H&H pregnancy!

Board description:
Many soon-to-be parents wonder whether they should find a new home for their pet before their baby is born. It's true that some types of pets don't mix well with young children, but many do.
Learn how you can prepare your pet for a new baby and set the climate for a safe introduction.
The best to you!
