| Puppies are coming!!!! Our yorkie has been in labor since 5:30 tonight, she has been pushing and having irregular contractions since that time. About an hour ago a bag presented and has been hanging out. We called the vet and he said it's okay to let that hang out until 9:00 and then he would intervene. We cannot see a puppy in the bag, is this normal? This is our first experience with puppies and we are very nervous!!!! |

| The bag that you are seeing is the "sac" that encompasses all of the pups. Each pup is enclosed in it's own bag. Where are you located - it is now 9:26 eastern daylight savings time. |

| we are central so it is now 8:28 pm - and still just the bag is hanging out - there is no puppy in it yet. Is it normal for us to not see any puppies at this stage? |

| Are you in Bellvue Washington? pacific time? Cindy is correct, the bag you are seeing is her water.. she will break it herself or it will break on it's own. Get ready and do not leave heer alone. If you need any help, I can PM you my phone number.. I am in California.. or I can call you from my cell (free long distance)

| thank you so much for your offer. I just spoke with the vet and he is very close to here. We have now just 25 min before he wants to do something. in your experience - how long is it ok for the bag to hang out? Again - there is no puppy visible in the bag as of yet. We are very worried about her. btw, we live in bellevue, nebraska. Thanks so much for any and all advice! |

| Hi - I'm Midwoof, Cindy. The best thing you can do for her right now is to calm down . Let her know you are there but be discrete. DO NOT break the sack. I have had them showing for a couple of hours. My vet tells me if they are NOT pushing hard or they aren't in any distress then chances are things will be ok. BUT..... if your vet says bring her in then I'd be out the door. There are some really great experienced breeders here who will be able to provide some fantastic info. |

| i really am calm - just showing my excitement on the computer. she is in her box and i am "discretely" in the corner. she is trying to get at the bag - she is just much too fat! She is sitting up and panting right now. |

| Good - it sounds like she is on track. You caught her very early in the process. Do you know how many pups to expect? |
