Signs of pregnancy:
Vulva remain somewhat swollen after mating and throughout the entire pregnancy
Milk line starting at the vulva and works its way up both sides of the teats
Mood change
Appetite change
Weight gain
Teats will become raised
Please continue to do tons of research on whelping, what danger signs to look for. What to do in case of an emergency, plus be sure to have an emergency vets number on hand just in case. I would suggest getting prepared around week 6 whether you know for sure or not. Its better to be prepared than find yourself in a situation where you have nothing ready. Check out thrift stores, garage sales and Good Will stores for old baby blankets, towels and rugs to use for whelping and for every day use and bedding for mamma and pups. Plus start saving new papers. They can get messy from the ink but it washes off.
Debbie Jensen has a great site with really great information that will be very helpful for you beginners. Plus if you search YT you can find tons of other helpful threads. Hope this helps.
