Lately our dog Ellie has been acting differently towards me. Ever since I've been pregnant she follows me around the house, lays in whatever room I am in and even has been sleeping in our room with us which she hasn't done since we moved into our new home. I started thinking, well if dogs can sense earthquakes and other natural disasters, medical conditions in people and much more, could Ellie possibly sense the fact that I'm pregnant? So I did a little research and found out that in fact it is VERY possible in fact that is probably what is going on!

"Although your dog may not actually understand that you are pregnant, they do notice any changes in your behavior, posture, routine and emotions. These changes may be so minor that you don’t even notice them yourself. But dogs are very much in tune with such differences and will pick up on them right away."

"It has also been suggested that dogs may be so sensitive to pregnancy because of the variations in hormones and pheromones in pregnant women. Dogs have an amazing sense of smell that is vastly superior to humans. In fact, their ability to smell is one million times better than humans; when stretched out, their smelling receivers can cover an area of 130m2. In humans, our smelling receptors will only cover 3m2. This is why, before the pregnancy symptoms kick in, before the pregnancy tests are taken, your dog might start to act a bit…different."
