Pet instincts?

I'm six and a half weeks pregnant with our first baby. My husband and I have two amazing dogs who we are extremely connected to. The baby's heart begins beating within this week and coincidentally my oldest dog who was our first babygirl is EXTRA sweet and snuggly around me. I wonder if she can hear its heartbeat, or just sense that my body is changing. I was wondering if your pets are reacting the same way.

I have a 4 year old lab. I think she knew before I even did. Follows me around the house more than ever. Doesn't let me leave her sight. I think they can sense it :)

We had a female pit bull that was already a sweetheart and loved being around me, but she became super clingy when I was pregnant with my last baby. She never wanted me to leave her sight. She cried at night when we put her outside. It was crazy. She definitely knew what was going on.
