I recommend a puppy or dog! Children who grow up with pets are usually healthier and have stronger immune systems. Dogs are also amazing companions. Since I was born I have never been more than a few weeks to 2 months without a dog or pet of some kind. I also recommend getting one before the baby is born. That way the get used to you, your home, and your families rules before the baby arrives. Once the baby gets here you will want to focus all or most of your attention on it rather than on helping a new pet getting acquainted to your home. One more recommendation, don't buy a dog from a breeder. Adopt from a shelter. I know that there are so many good breeders out there, just as many as there are bad breeders. But I always feel so much better after rescuing an animal. There are so many unwanted fur babies out there that deserve a chance at a happy family life. It will cost about $50-100 to adopt from a shelter, BUT your new pet will come with all of it's vaccinations, dewormed, and spayed/neutered. If you got a free puppy from someone and then took it to a vet, it would cost much more than it would just adopting one from a shelter or rescue organization.

I am lol my boyfriend just be like omg you are crazy 😂😂😂 I get so mad even faster @h_mother0322

Lol if you emotional && crazy just like me before you was pregnant, you need get a puppy because it get worse

I'm so emotional a big ole crybaby getting a puppies is probably what I need @h_mother0322

I was told to do it before because dogs can sense you being pregnant it's like they know. So they know it'll be little person there, my puppy follows me around the house, he bark at people he don't know or don't want around me && the baby. He sleep under me, an when I take my hour naps, he sit on the edge of my bed && watch everybody that come in and out my room. An my therapist told me get puppy because he makes me happy when I'm depressed, it come with being pregnant some times. An he always does a great job.

I grew up with a dog I wanted my baby to grow up like that too . I didn't know to wait until my baby gets here or to get it before @h_mother0322

An I had pet sick from 3-5 years old, lol I loved him from a far once I got older but my evil older brother ended up killing him

Get a puppy, I got a pit bull, he is 3 months, I've had him since he was born. Only reason I got him because I wanted a dog && I wanted my baby have a true best friend. So I brought him, he knows a baby is coming soon, he protects me && he gone protect him. Everybody keep saying you crazy for buying a pit because they aggressive, any dog is aggressive if you raise them, that way
