dog sensing labor?

My roommates dog all of a sudden started sleeping in bed with me every night even when my doors closed he'll sleep right outside it. Can dogs sense when a women is getting close to going into labor?

Lol they say that dogs always know you're pregnant they just don't know how many puppies you're having :p my dog is more cuddly now and sleeps in a ball in front of my belly

My dog did those exact things during my first pregnancy, i dont think they can sense labor but can sense the baby and i guess they are like that to protect the baby.
