Take the temp morning and night.. and its not bad to take it in the afternoon as well since she's so close. When is goes down in the 98's and stays down you should be having pups soon!
PS- I've taken tons of temps!!!!  |
Some never go below 99. So if temp is in the 98-99 bracket for 12 hours, delivery time is very near. Starting at day 58 I take temp 5 times a day. It's a pain in the rear, but it's the only way to tell if it stays down for 12 hours.
