dogs sensing labor?

Can dogs seance their owner going into  labor? My female dog has been acting odd. Constantly following me and laying by my feet. Today shes been drooling so much and only leaves my side to run outside to go to the bathroom ... im 39 weeks+1 day. I cant imagine shes sick she acts frisky and wants to play..

My dog has been the same way since yesterday she's normally loveable but isn't clingy last night she followed me around everywhere when I was sitting outside she lightly jumped up on my lap and place her paws on my belly and rested her head she's even been following me to the restroom I was curious if she knows something I don't ....

Yes I believe they can. I know dogs have extremely sensitive noses (they can even smell cancer!!) So she probably knows something you dont. Lol at least your dog pays yoy attention. Ive got a 4lbs chihuahua and he could careless what ive got going on.
