Maggie is due the same time as your Princess. Is this her first litter? If so I would take her in to have xrays so that you can be sure the pups aren't too big to be delivered. Sometimes the female can be too narrow and the pups can get out and you may need to take her in for a c-section. These websites will help you with getting all the things you need and what to do if something goes wrong. There are also signs to look for when she gets ready to whelp. Digging, panting, looking at her rear, mucus plug, shivering, throwing up, emptying her bowels and bladder, contractions, pushing,etc. As far as the amount of pups once again I highly suggest getting xrays done. Good luck and don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it.
