My chow has started acting out since I’ve been pregnant?!Help!

I’m currently 13+5 and I’ve had my chow for over 2 years now, she’s always been a diva and there’s a few areas where she needed further training but wasn’t anything massive (I.e running away from her harness when trying to go on walks or stopping and watching everyone on them walks!)

However, since becoming pregnant she has started to act out in little ways. Such as she’s starting to mouth me a lot, not biting at all, but she’ll start off licking me on my legs or feet and then she’ll start mouthing me. Most of the time I think it’s to get my attention and to make me get up and get her treats. However, even when I sit down and play with her and I have her teddies in my hand she’ll all of a sudden just start mouthing me instead.

She’s also been super needy and I’ve been told howling when I go out. Some days when she’s not getting attention or what she wants she’ll be naughty, like jumping up at the cabinet to knock the flower pot off, or trying to pull blankets off people on the sofa to get them to play with her. She’s also started to flip our other dog’s bowl over, knocking all her biscuits out everywhere! She also turned her back on my sister and stomped her paw on the floor because she wasn’t getting a treat!

This is my first child, so have never experienced this before and don’t really know what to make of it! She’s absolutely fine around babies, she’s grown up with my niece and has never been aggressive in the slightest, if anything she tends to take herself elsewhere unless my niece has food or a toy she can also play with. So I’m not worried about when baby comes!

I just can’t workout why all of a sudden she is acting out and what’s with the mouthing

How to know if I'm overexcersizing my dog?Help!

Hes 1.7 years old. He never plops or make drama on walks,always curious and want to keep walking.

I take him for a 60-40 minutes walk in the morning and a 60+ minutes walk in the evening.
