Jerry is double her size and that makes a
huge difference.Itīs deffinately
not a minor thing.
I would seek the advice of your vet ASAP.The chances of her needing a C-section are high in this case scenario, and thatīs just asuming that she carries her pups to full term with no complications due to their size.

What is the best way to judge when she will be giving birth? |
This is what worries me the most.With an accidental breeding, you donīt have dates, without dates you donīt have a due date, and without a due date, you wont know if your dog has passed the 64 day mark which could put her life and the life of the pups in danger..especially since her pups could be on the larger side.
Dates are important even when the breeding is planned, so you can imagine how worrying your situation is.How far along (more or less) is Ginger?

Donīt prepare anything until youīve talked to your vet.From there, youīll know what to do
Example - Take care of her after an emergency spay or prepare her for a possible c-section.
I wouldent venture into
this particular experience just with the advice a handful of people on a forum give you weather they are experienced breeders or not.You need someone to actually examine Ginger.You
really need to get her to a vet and make a desicion based on what he tells you

Like should I keep him separated, or anything special? |
Concerned? No.But if Ginger ends up not having an emergency spay, I
do think you should have him spayed to prevent this happening again

Youīre welcome! Again, please donīt take offense to any of the awnsers
If you want to talk to someone you feel more comfortable with, I would seriously advise you to talk to your vet and go over this with him/her
Certain things you read will no doubt scare the bejesus out of you and when that happens, we tend to cover our eyes, so talking to someone you know face to face will be alot easier for you and youīll find it easier to make a decision.
Good luck!
