Starting Puppy Watch Well, its midnight. Pheobe has been showing signs of what i think to be first stage labor for the past couple of hours. Tossing and turning and sleeping for just minutes in between. Her tummy keeps having what I think is mild contractions.. by that I dont mean the onset of pushing. Its like for short intervals her stomach is very tensed up and you can easily see what seems to be each pup. An example would be.. umm.. like a balloon with rocks in it and all the air sucked out. She seems to get really restless when it happens and then it goes back to normal and thats when she falls back asleep. Is this just the pups moving into place??? I've never seen this.. but i believe im calling into work tomorrow!!! MY FINGERS ARE CROSSED after tomorrow the vet says its a risk to not be seen. ( for reference her first tie date was Feb. 25th last tie date was the 27th of Feb.)
