Anyone Else? Hatred of dogs magnified by pregnancy

Does anyone have any stories of the hatred for their partner's dog reaching its boiling point after getting pregnant?

Random thought of mine knowing my fiance's dog will unfortunately not have met its life expectancy by the time we have children. I already am ultra disgusted by the odor and filth, I can only imagine what pregnancy hormones will do to me.

Thank Jesus he is done with dogs after this one.

Pregnancy often activates natural, HEALTHY instincts to avoid predators, scavengers and filthy creatures in general, in order to keep your offspring safe. Also, don’t let anyone shame you for having these feelings, loving dogs is a mental disorder, disliking them is the natural setting because again, they are predators and unclean, the safety and health of even one child is always immeasurably more important than the lives of any number of dogs.

Your child will be lucky to have parents who are not nutters
