I have two dogs, pit bull: "Diego" and pit-lab mix: "Bella". I let them sleep inside at night and Diego wakes me up in the morning, by whining a little bit, when they need to go out and do their thing. Same for when their ready to come back inside, which would be a few minutes later. Other than that, he never whines for anything. This pattern has been going on for 5-6 months.

That is until now... he whines constantly and excessively for anything from wanting to, repetedly, go inside and out several times a day (much more than usual) or when I stop petting him or when he's on his own, not even in the same room or even looking at my husband or I. He just constantly whines for no apparent reason at all. Bella has been totally cool and normal.

I'm 5 months pregnant and this behavior only started a week ago. Could he be sensing the baby and becoming stressed out or aggitated because of it? Whatever the reason, how can I make it stop?
Bella is fixed and this is not the same behvior as if there were a near by female in heat.
 
my retriever girl was young when i got pregnant with my now 6 month old son. She turned from 'lovely calm happy with life dog' to ' you come anywhere near my mum and your dead' dog. literally over night. and then as soon as he was born she just stopped. just like that and has returned to the lovely sweet dog we have today and she herself is going to be a mummy in the next few days. I think you may be in for the long haul like we were!! hopefully he will stop when you have your baby. sorry i couldn't help more but i think this is a common thing. Best of luck and maybe invest in some ear plugs!!
