Totally agree.

My Tahlulah had her bubble burst inside of her at 04:30 a.m. I heard it pop, with water flowing onto my bed. However, she had her first pup at 07:15 a.m. Since she'd been having strong contractions for about 45 miniutes, I was getting a bit worried and about ready to get her into the vets, since I knew I had 4 hours from the time the bubble popped to get that pup into the world before complications would set in.....when her first pup presented itself head facing up (true breech baby) , we assited her by gently pushing on her legs with each contraction, once the head was completely out, hubby gently turned the pup so, the head was facing down....out popped the pup, but dry with the placenta still attached. The next one was born an hour later, pup born without the sack, but placenta attached......an hour later, the 3rd, hind legs first, but still in the sack.
