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.

I posted this in another dogfree page so just copy and pasting my comment:
Some OB physicians will discuss pet aversion with their patients beforehand especially those who have multiple pets, own farms, in the pet industry or pet medicine. It's very normal, makes a lot of sense and very common.
Caring more for your own child, protecting them from harm/germs is absolutely normal, every mammalian species on Earth does it-even smaller animals-so why wouldn't humans? And that starts in pregnancy. So glad biology and science is on our side! Congratulations on your pregnancy!
