Default pregnant?

I'm sorry you are having a hard time - puppies are a pain. Trust me I haven't slept an entire night since I have had mine. Signs of pregnancy - big belly, swollen nipples, extreme possessiveness and a grumpy, emotional attitude - oh yes, a lack of patience for other's puppies. Sorry, but she shows all of the signs. Hopefully not. If they are truly driving you crazy, separate them for a while. He just wants to be a puppy. If she is pregnant, she needs her own crate, a place she feels safe where he will not intrude! When the pups get close she might accidently hurt him, he is not hers and she really doesn't know him. This will be a very difficult time for you if she is pregnant. NOT impossible. Keeping them separated a lot during the day is your best bet. If she seems to be getting irritated, take the baby to a separate area. Probably not what you banked on when you got her. Gently squeeze her nipples every two days or so, milk shows imminent birth, keep him away once you see this. It may turn out to be one of the sweetest things to happen to you.
