I agree with Mardelin that it is really best if you can be with your mom and pups at all times. I stock up on my supplies and basically do not leave the house for the week before and week after the pups are born. My husband travels a lot for his job, so I do occasionally have to leave the house after that to run errands. I try to organize my errands so that I am gone only for very short periods and only if I am sure that mom and pups are well settled for a nap before I go out. I try to limit my trips out to less than an hour. I am always scared when I go out though, as potentially you can come home to a pup that has gotten out of the box, or got a toenail entangled in bedding or countless other things that can go bad really fast.
