Pets behavior towards the end

I first noticed a change when I first became pregnant. She was more affectionate, but this past week my kitty has been all over me. She follows me everywhere, cries when I leave, has to be in my lap and always has her paw on my hand. Do you think she senses something coming? Did anyone else experience a change in their pets behavior right before giving birth?

OMG I could have written this..
My dog follows me everywhere, sleeps across my belly lately, and will no stay away from me.
I think they definitely sense something

OMG I just came on to post this same question!!!! Since Wed. my dog has not left me alone!!!!!!!!!! Actually she never does but now it is to the extreme!!! She actually just sits and stares at me ... will just lay on my stomach and she is just all over me. I think she knows it's times !!! (I am 38 weeks as of yesterday).

YES! My one cat has always been obsessed with me, but the last week my other kitty has been coming up to me in the bed and rubs his head on my belly twice, then plops down next to me. I swear he must know something is up! Plus I don't know if it's my belly now...but strangers everywhere are looking at my belly like "this is it" and asking me all sorts of questions!

Well since they are starting to act weird, maybe we'll all be giving birth around the same time

My friend went into early labor and said her Dog was freakingt out and very nervous for a couple of days before. There is probably a possibility that they can sense something going on

last week my female chihuahua was trailing me- every time I went into the bathroom- she's come flying in and leap into my arms and she had this sort of alarmed face on- maybe she did know something since I went into labor Saturday morning!
