I am by no means an expert...my Lexie is due with her (and my) first litter on October 20th. Going by your estimate of a due date of Nov. 17, that would make Baby only about 2 weeks along. You need to wait til at least 4 weeks or so after the first "tie" for the vet to be able to feel if there are puppies in her tummy. By that time I felt fairly certain that Lexie was pregnant, but was glad to have the vet confirm it. Now, at 6 weeks along she definitely "shows" and I am excited for when I can actually see those puppies move in her belly in another week or so. So far as what to look for.....the first couple of weeks after mating, Lexie lost her appetite a bit and had a little "morning sickness", I thought her belly seemed slightly firmer than normal and her nipples were sticking up quite a bit. Around the 4th week I strongly suspected that she was pregnant as I noticed her belly was a bit rounder and also a slight puffiness around her nipple areas. That is about the time when I was able to have the vet confirm her pregnancy. Good luck; I figure Baby's vet visit should be around mid Ocotber. Keep us posted.
