Well believe me, I do understand your stress, and know it's easier said than done...........but you have got to try to relax some. Bella can sense it for sure and that could contribute to her holding back on labor. I do have a question or two.....

She has done very well through the entire pregnancy. We have had 2 ultrasounds done and so far we think there are 3 little fur babies coming. She will go for her x-ray tomorrow at 11:15. My question due to some unforeseen circumstances I will be working a lot these next 2 weeks and only have today and tomorrow off. When I called the vet to confirm her appointment in the morning we were talking and she suggested we induce her so that way I can be there. The down fall is she said that it carries a higher chance that she may need a c- section. I am a dog groomer so if worse comes to worse i could take her with me to work then leave early if I she goes into labor. I just really don't feel like induction seems wise. I was wondering if anyone has ever run into a problem like this and what was your decision. Also her temp dipped to 98.42 today and has had a light clear slimy discharge for the last 2 days but besides that she isn't showing any other signs of labor coming on. No nesting, panting, shaking ect.....

Your original post on 12/13 said that she was 59 days, putting her well past the 63 day mark. Question is, is that 59 days for first tie, last tie???? Give yourself another day or so if it was not their last tie. Also take into account that they don't necessarily get PG the day of the breeding, but more like 2-3 days later when the egg implants itself. Is this her first pregnancy? Some are known to whelp a little late with first litters.

I said Bella so he said ok then we will do a c-section Thursday morning I will give her till then and hopefully we won't have to do the c-section. I said ok but what is the difference in treatment. He said if you were more concerned with puppies than I would do a c-section

On this post I'm wondering if this new vet gave you a reason WHY he was going to do a c-section. Did he see something wrong with Bella or her pups? Did he listen to heartbeats (have you?) Are the pups moving?

Again, I know how stressed you are, I can feel it from your posts. But please try to calm yourself. Chances are she & her pups will be just fine and here before long. Hold your Bella close, comfort her, rub her belly, talk to her about how anxious you are to meet her babies. Sending you good vibes & wishes for a safe whelp.

BTW....don't worry; butt first delivery is normal, though head first is preferred.
