Puppy Movement Question..... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I was wondering if anyone could tell me, Do you always feel alot of movement out of the pups the last few weeks before they're born or are some litters kinda quite? Our girl has had 2 litters previously, and they all been pretty rowdy, but this litter is different they barely move at all. I can only feel little flutters every now and then. I was thinking that maybe it was because we seen 6 sacks on the x-ray and maybe they just don't have a whole lotta room to be dancing around. Any thoughts????

You are probably right. Lots of pups or a singleton and there may not be as much movement but you should certainly feel some especially in the last week

My Tea' was 5.5lbs pre-pregnancy and ended up having 6 pups...they definitely were quite active the last weeks. But, having said that, I'm sure that like humans, every pregnancy is different. If you are extremely worried, perhaps the vet can check the pups heartbeats to make sure all is well. Wishing you an easy, happy whelping!!
