By next Thursday if the puppy has not dropped then I would definitely not have the c-section done. Usually the pup will drop a few days before delivery. Also, when the puppy gets close to full term their movement will be good and strong so if by next week you are not feeling really strong movement of the puppy I would wait. I do pray all goes well. |
Very true, and I wouldn't worry unless she is continually pushing and straining and nothing is happening. If she's just having a contraction every few minutes and then resting then she's ok just to watch her. You will be able to tell if she's in distress.
