I used to be a believer in taking the temps, I would do it twice a day but then I had a couple of females go into labor when their temperature was around 100 so I decided it just is not accurate enough to go by the temperature itself. There are times I will take the temperature, more out of curiosity but I don't like to overdo it. I do recommend keeping an eye on the temperature when the momma is not eating well. I have heard of females that have had the pups die right before birth and the female would get a uterus infection.
