If she's on day 57, she's in her last week and the pups are moving around, lining up for the big day. The mom's belly can look different from day to day around this time. The pups do most of their growing the last couple of weeks so your girl's appetite should have been up lately and she should be getting fed extra. As she gets closer to whelping, she may not want to eat as much. You have a few days to get your whelping area ready if you haven't already done so. Also, try to read some of the recent threads here as many litters have been born the last couple of weeks. Try to stay calm and just get prepared. Your girl will sense your nervousness and you want to keep her calm and relaxed. Good luck with your upcoming litter and welcome to YorkieTalk.
