Do they just *know*

Not really a pre-labour story either but....

When I had my surgery for my breast cancer 5 years ago my cat did the most amazing thing. When I got home from hospital he would cuddle up to me and put his paw gently on my incision and then stare into my eyes. This went on for weeks until I had healed and then he was normal again. It was the most incredible thing.

Kris, that's such a cool story.

Sarah, my cats were especially attentive to me while I was pregnant, and the dog got VERY protective (even bit one of our friends ) I think they really understand that something is going on. I don't remember them being particularly different just before labour, but afterwards they were so cuddly, especially the boy.

Best of luck with your VBAC!
