According to the American Pregnancy Association (APA), the biggest risk with dogs is the possibility of a large dog jumping on your abdomen while you are lying down or sitting in a chair. They also recommend if you have a dog that does this you should begin training it not to do it right away. While you are pregnant is the right time to start preparing your dog for the new baby. A good start in doing this is to identify behavioral issues, review basic obedience skills, and set routines.

Dogs
Known as man's best friend, a dog can be a wonderful addition to a home. For the most part, there's no reason your dog can't continue to be part of the family when you're expecting. Take these extra steps during pregnancy:
- Be sure that your dog doesn't jump on your belly while you're sitting or lying down.
- If your puppy has picked up some bad habits, like biting or pouncing, use this time to break him of these habits before the baby arrives.
- Before bringing your new baby home, make sure your dog is up-to-date with vaccinations.
- If you and your dog are especially close, ask your partner or another family member to spend more time with him. Because your new baby will take much of your time and affection, having your dog develop a closer relationship with other household members can help prepare him for the changes that will come once the baby is home.
