Hi, Is this your first litter? I am just asking as you sound a bit anxious. Anyways, my advice is for you to stay near your female from now on, as the labor will start when she and pups are ready. The temperature, discharge, lack of appetite can all be indications, but i had experiences all kinds of labors, females that ate until they started contracting, temperatures that went down 5 days before labor started, and discharge usually starts a few days before labor and gets ticker and more volume as it near labor. The most important thing for you to do now is to be relaxed, prepared and take the time... do not let your girl sense that you anxious or in a hurry for anything. She needs you near and she needs you calm and confident. Hopefully all is gonna go naturally well.
I usually stay home with my females and have it all ready after day 56 ... ready for anything as after that anything can happen anytime.
I hope this was reassuring for you and wish you and your female well.
XOXO
