Can a dog sence human pregnancy?

Question

I have a dog that lives outside and is about 30 weeks old....the past couple weeks when I go outside she comes up to me and puts her paws on my knee and just looks at me...I have kinda felt pregnant but not sure

Answer 1

I believe so, my wife just had our baby, but my mothers dog, when she was about 2 month pregnant, stopped jumping up on her like everyone else, and when she would sit down, he would come up to her and lightly push his nose into her tummy.. He never has done the nose thing to anyone else but her. and he kept jumping up on everyone else... He would    be even my protective over her then he is already with everyone else as well...if he heard her make a noise that was like hurt, he would run over right away...

Answer 2

yes, i have heard that this can be true!

Answer 3

Dogs can detect hormonal differences, so yes, if you are pregnant, he may sense that something is different about you and the way you smell (not enough for a human to notice, but enough for a dog).

If you think you're pregnant, take a pregnancy test.

Answer 4

Yes, most definitely!!

They have dogs smelling out drugs, and even cancer in the human body!! So I am sure they can sense a pregnancy!!

Congrats! - Take that test and let us all know for sure =)

Answer 5

More importantly....why is your dog living outside???

Take a pregnancy test. The dog sounds like it just wants some attention, considering it lives outside and all.  

Answer 6

Yes.

Answer 7

I think they can.

My friend had 2 German Shepards when I was pregnant with my oldest child.  The younger Shepard would always bark and growl at me...until I was pregnant...then she would always act all submissive when I was around.  Post-pregnancy the dog was back to her old ways of growling and barking.

Now, it could be that I was much more calm assertive when pregnant and that was the change or the dog could note a change in my scent and energy because I was pregnant.

Who really knows?

Answer 8

No, She just wants Attention.  

Answer 9

yeah

Answer 10

Yes they can smell your change in hormones and endorphins. Their nose is amazing.

Answer 11

You should first get a pregnancy test and see a doctor if you think you may be pregnant. And some people say that animals can sense things but it hasn't been proven 100% true. Don't worry about if your dog knows or not. The important thing is for you to see a doctor.
