Fur baby question - regression ?

Question

For all those mamas who also have fur babies :

Has anyone had their dog recently regress with behaviors ? My almost 2 year old cairn terrier has recently been having almost everyday accidents (pee). We are testing her for a uti to be sure, but I have read that dogs can sense changes coming and maybe start to act out.

Any resources or advice would be appreciated! 25 days left until baby ! (Hopefully)

Answer

My fuzzles has just been way way more protective. He's bitten 4 people now....not hard...but snapped at them when they touch my stuff. (We have a lot of family helping with painting and repairs around the house....fuzz has been getting upset that they are touching our house) 
He's also super attached to me...like he comes to the bathroom with me....and wants to be held if I'm sitting in there a while. He's also jumped in the shower with me once when I was crying for no random reason! 
I plan on doing my best to keep things the same for him and not casting him aside. Also we plan on bringing home some of the babies stuff from the hospital before hand so he can get familiar with her smell. 
He will have to be watched very closer with her too....as I'm worried he will freak out when she cries.... He doesn't like it too much when he hears crying on TV. He gets worried. Lol  this is him after he went in the trash to shred a candy bag.

Answer

Ours is acting mostly normally with the exception of being a bit clingier. I think she may struggle after baby comes though since she won't be able to sleep in the bed with us anymore. That'll be a big change after 4 years.

Answer

My 6 year old lazy lab has been taking stuff off the kitchen counters. He has never paid any attention to anything we've left out before. So far, on three separate occasions, he ate 3 sticks of butter, 5 whole bananas, and the last one he tried was a pack of batteries. Thank god we turned around and came home to catch him on the act for that one! The food semi makes sense, but batteries?! I hope he stops soon.

Thank you everyone for your responses, they are very helpful. Here's our little girl causing some headaches but some improvements over the past couple of days

Answer

My dog peed and pooped in our home and he is hose broken and very well trained. He has been stunt out...whining and laying under me all the time. Sometimes he won't answer me when I call...I think he is not a happier camper right now. But we just continue to love on him and rub his belly to let him know that he is still our fur baby. This is him finally realizing that a baby is coming and he  placed his paw on my tummy. Lol

Answer

My dogs are dumb lol they haven't acted any different whatsoever and I'm due in 39 days. They don't pay any more attention or less than normal. As friendly as can be to people as always too lol. I don't think they sense a baby is on the way at all. They pay no attention to my belly. It'll be a suprise for them though😄🐶🐺💙 and they better behave lol

Answer

Yes! Jack has been really pushing the limits. He knows what's going on- he is a smart dog

Answer

Mine are just driving me nuts

Answer

my dog has actually gotten better behaved! my moms dogs have been terrible. 😩

Answer

We have a rottie x kelpie who has started whining when he's outside, and a mini foxy who is very persistent with trying to sit on my lap on the couch which she's never been allowed to do so she ends up lying with my feet touching her body after about 10 attempts. Everyone keeps saying that they'll have to become outside dogs when baby arrives but I think displacing them is the worst thing we could do!
