The other thing you can check, is while she's standing, see if you can see the ridge of her spine....then feel to see if the pups have dropped....if you see any of those signs you are definately near. Now these are things I'm giving you to check for....doesn't always happen.
I don't know if you do this already, but it's something I do with each female and each litter. I begin documenting everything; from feeding, to weight, little difference in personality, mannerism.....
