Can dogs tell you're preggo before you?

Hello Everyone!
It's been a long time since I have posted any questions here, since trying to conceive my daughter, who was born 12/31/03.

I dont know about dogs but my cats were very clingy before I found out I was pregnant. I couldnt get up and go anywhere in the house without one of them following me.

My dog is a very affectionate dog but never really a lap dog...now right before we found out I was pregnant she started following me around and even would climb into my lap when I was on the pc...I mean all the time! Well about a week/2 weeks later we found out I was pregnant. She followed me around for 9 months and tried to be a lap dog until my belly pushed her off ;) Now that Rain is 6 months she is back to being affectionate but not always under my feet...so maybe your dog knows something you don't ;)

Yes, dogs can tell that something is changing and that something is coming. They have a sixth sense-The same sense that tells them to warn others and hide if say, a tornado is coming your way.
Our dog, Loki, knew I was pregnant before anyone else. Heck, my whole family and husband knew I was pregnant before I did. With so much going on, I didn't want to worry about a pregnancy. Course, now I'm glad it happened.
I'm currently 9 months pregnant now and, just like you, our dog Loki (a Chow, Sharpei and Pit Bull mix) was all over me too. Never letting me rest and always wanting my attention. When I'd be laying down in bed, he'd climb up and rest his head on my stomach.
Now, he knows that labor & delivery is coming on soon. Both times that I started to go into premature labor, Loki would start whining and pacing. He even went up the stairs and scratched at the door with small barks, signaling that I needed attention. He's also been a good helper around the house too.
We're preparing everything for baby and if I'm having trouble grabbing something (and if it's light enough) he'll pick it up and carry it to me so I can put it away. When I dropped the bag of diapers, he picked up the bag and carried it into the bathroom for me. Without me saying a word and set it on a low shelf so that I'd be able to reach it easier and put it away.
I hope these experiences of mine help you out.
Hello,
I have never been pregnant so I am not sure. I have heard Dogs/Cats can sense these things.
I hope its a great sign!!!

TTC to conceive #1 officially since 2001. Dh had Varicocele surgery 2005 and has low sperm count. Dh tried Clomid..it didnt really help, HSG in 1999 and 2005, Charting since Jan 2006, <
I was just mentioning this to my daughter the other day. When I was pregnant with my 4 1/2 y'o, our Lhaso Apso (Male) was my shadow. He followed me to the toilet, the bed and back again ... and when the Doc put me on complete bedrest, the dog would sleep with me 24/7 and he normally sleeps with our eldest son every night.
I've noticed over the weekend that Sebastian (our dog) has been following me everywhere again, climbing into my lap etc ....
I'm almost positive that they can sense things before we know!
Hopefully this is a good sign!!!!!
Thanks for posting this--now I know I'm not crazy!
My neighbor's dog has been under my feet for almost 2 months now!
