Good luck with your  female.  My experience is that if your female is pregnant, she will have a small litter if her tummy is not big by this time. | 
 
  One of my girls  had a litter of six in October and  I can't imagine  having one more tucked in there.... she was so miserable carrying six.  We were helping  her  out in everyway we could too.  She could  barely  squeeze through the doggy-door.
