Our girl Madie is suppose to be about 2 1/2 weeks pregnant (and our first litter), and has put on 3/4 of a pound already. She is normally right @ 4 3/4 pounds, now she is 5 1/2. I've visited every web site (even debbijensen) and no one really says anything about weight gain. I'm just curious if any one has kept track of their dogs weight during preg. And does this seem to be too much for only this far along? Everything I've read says she shouldn't start to show until 5 weeks. there is very little about weight gain. I consider this quit a considerable change in her size (it would be like me gaining 25 lb). She isn't "showing" yet, or what i would call showing. Her side don't go in at the end of her ribs, but her belly don't stick out. But even my friend comment that she feels alot heavier.

any info would be great. Both of our females are PG, Roxie is a week behind madie, and the only change in her is that she has boobies now. I think I'm going to keep a weight gain journal for them. so that if this question ever comes up again I'll have an answer. I know that every dog is different and that the size of the dog matters, but any example would help.
