Yorkie Talker | Hi, I'm new here and my yorkie is 61 days pregnant with 1st litter. How do I know when she is in labor. I have read and watched everything I can but I am nervous. She has 4 babies and her temp is on the downward slide it was 98.9 two hours ago. |

Yorkie Talker | Also, does the milk come in before or after babies? I've had some people tell me before and some after? So I am not sure what to expect.

| Welcome to YT! If you have read everything and have been preparing yourself, then you should already know the answers to these questions. You are probably just nervous and second guessing yourself, right? |

Yorkie Talker | Yes, I have read and think I know but it's down to the wire now and I am very nervous. And anxious

| I have read other breeders here at YT say they also get nervous each their girls are preparing to have a litter. Hopefully, they will drop in and give you some advice. I am not a breeder. I know I am not cut out for it. I hope it all goes well with your girl. |

You will notice her behavior change. Do not leave her. You said her temp was 98.9...have you retaken it? If its staying down then she could have them 12-24 hours from the temp drop you will notice small contractions. and possible small pushes. The babies are moving down. I would also call your vet and let them know whats going on. Always better to be safe than sorry. That way they know. keep her in the whelping area, have your supplies ready and most of all good luck! wishing you a safe, healthy whelp. | |
