Oh wow, I did not know the reason why after 3yrs its not a good idea. My impression was that it would be difficult for them to actually get pregnant. Dumb huh! Now I am nrevous, so it is looking more like a c-section then? Im really nervous now because she was a lilttle over weight brfore being pregnant, she has a large litter and this is her first at age 4. OMG
