| My baby girl is pregnant! I bred Juliet on Sept. 4th and she is now showing!!! This is mine and her first time, so I will be here often asking questions, and giving updates! According to my calculations, she should be whelping the first week of November. I'm so excited and scared at the same time!!! |

| Thanks, guys! How exciting, she is 5 weeks tomorrow! So...am I right in my calculations that she would be due the first week of November? It's anywhere from 59-63 days, right? So do most dogs go into labor between those days? How often do they go late? Her little tummy is just now popping out and her teets are bigger. I'm SO excited! |

| Puppie's are usually due 61 days after conception, I usually say 61-63 days. My female Boxer had her pups every little on day 63. My Hubbys thinks my female Yorkie is pegnant too. I know shes laying around alot these last few days and not eating much. and if she is shes 36 days today. How is your girl acting? |

| heres a site where you can calculate the date from your first breeding ,63 day gestation period. http://www.debbiejensen.com/whelp_supplies.html |

| Heres another great site to calculate. I put your breeding date in as Sep 4th and heres the info it gave. Pregnancy Calendar for Dogs Date: Mon 8 Oct 2007 Sire: Dam: Breeder: Tue 4 Sep 2007 First day of mating. 48 hours after the first mating the bitch should be mated again. Subsequent matings occurring over a period of time enhance the chances of fertilaziton taking place. The spermatozoa migrate up through the cervix. Wed 5 Sep 2007 Sperm travel searching for a mature ripened eggs. Wed 5 Sep 2007 - Thu 6 Sep 2007 Spermatozoa reach the eggs in the oviducts. Thu 6 Sep 2007 - Fri 7 Sep 2007 Fertilisation occurs in the oviducts which lead from the ovaries to the uterus. Fri 7 Sep 2007 - Sun 9 Sep 2007 Fertilised eggs migrate down the oviducts and into the uterine horns. The migration continue to enable even spacing of the embryos. During this migration the eggs will grow into a blastocystes. Sat 15 Sep 2007 - Mon 17 Sep 2007 The blastocystes implant in the wall of the uterus. Sat 15 Sep 2007 - Sat 29 Sep 2007 The blastocystes will grow into an embryos. During the next two weeks the important organs will develop. Tue 18 Sep 2007 - Tue 25 Sep 2007 Dams nipples begin to pink enlarge. The fur on the dams belly and around the nipples may become thinner. Mon 24 Sep 2007 - Mon 1 Oct 2007 Morning sickness might occur due to hormonal changes or stretching and distension of the uterus. Dam may appear a bit apathetic. She may be off her feed for a while and vomit from time to time. Feeding the dam several meals spaced throughout the day might help. Your veterinarian may want to prescribe a drug to relax the uterus. Sat 29 Sep 2007 - Wed 3 Oct 2007 An experienced person (a breeder or a veterinarian) can tell by careful palpation whether the dam is pregnant. It's now the best time to do this because the embryos are walnut-sized now and easy to count. Tue 2 Oct 2007 Start to increase the dams food ration. Don't overfeed, excessive weight gain should be avoided. The foetuses are now and are fully developed miniature dogs. Mon 8 Oct 2007 The Dams abdomen starts to get larger. Thu 18 Oct 2007 It's very easy now to feel the puppies, counting them might be a bit more difficult. Sun 21 Oct 2007 - Mon 29 Oct 2007 Dam begins to spend a lot more time in self-grooming. Her breasts become even more swollen. She may become a bit restlessness and begin to search for a suitable place to have her puppies. Tue 23 Oct 2007 The dam might lose her appetite during this period. Her abdomen can be crowded with puppies. It is better to feed several smaller meals spaced throughout the day. You can easily detect abdominal movement now. Tue 23 Oct 2007 - Wed 7 Nov 2007 Nipples and vulva should be gently cleaned with warm water, you might want to trim the hairs surrounding the nipples, to allow easier access for the puppies to suck. Fri 2 Nov 2007 - Mon 5 Nov 2007 Milky fluid may be expressed from the nipples. Sat 3 Nov 2007 You might want to start taking the dams rectal temperature each morning and evening. Tue 6 Nov 2007 Twelve to 24 hours before she is due to deliver, the dams rectal temperature may drop from 101 to 98 degrees. Clear discharge from the vulva might occur. Wed 7 Nov 2007 Expected date of whelp. Of course this is just an average. Whelping may take place from the 59th to the 65th day. Puppies born before the 58th day will probably be too young to survive. |

| Thanks for the info! Very interesting! To answer your question about how she's acting...well, she used to be very playful and she's not very playful anymore. She sleeps a lot, and she snuggles more. When she lays by you, she has to be touching part of you. (usually against someone's legs) She's such a sweetheart. I cannot wait for her to be a mommy. |
