Kimberly, I was not going to post again, but something keeps on drawing me back to post.
While I'm not sure,this seems to be your first litter of pups. Raising human children is akin but not truly like whelping a litter. The puppies are very very tiny when born.
I would like to suggest that maybe the breeder who supplied the stud, be asked to help you in this whelp. Yorky Mom's do need help, and should not be allowed to cut the umblicial cord on their own. There is just so much to know, making sure all the placentas come out. Recognizing labour distress.
At this point if you are confident she is indeed pregnant, you should have all your whelping supplies on hand. I also recommend that you stock your freezer with prepared dinners etc, so you and your family can be fed easily over the extremely busy first week.
Put your vet's number on speed dial. Make sure you keep your car gassed up in case of emergencies.
If I have read your posts on the two threads you have here, your vet has expressed twice to spay your girl. She has reportedly already had two false pregnancies, yet you say this is her first time being bred. You do really need to weigh heavily in your mind your vet's recommendations.
I hope for the best outcome here, for your girl. Please read up on all the stickies in the breeding section,if you have not already done so.
