I will just lay there and watch tv with the momma. Once she really starts pushing hard then I make her get in the whelping basket. Usually once the pups start coming the momma will settle down and stay in place. Best wishes for a safe whelping.

This is almost exactly what I do. I have my whelping supplies including a fresh hot cup of coffee and some snacks for ME, a notebook, pencil, scale, and phone -- and of course my laptop and camera. Gosh, it gets crowded.

Good Luck to you! I think for us first timers (at least for me) what gets me the most is the excitement and anticipation of it all. My girl is 3 weeks away and I can hardley stand the wait! I am even excitedly awaiting the xray appointment

. From everything I have read this is a VERY supportive group of people who love yorkies and you will be in great hands!

i have never been through a doggie pregnancy, we thought my bfs dads french mastiff was preggo, as planned, but she should be due any sec and now it might be a false pregnancy.

I love these whelping posts, i can never wait till the end to see the puppies!

Just talked to my aunt and Hannah is in hard labor and has lost some fluids, she is expecting the first baby very soon! If I hear anything I will let everyone know as I know how everyone gets while waiting for a new liter to arrive!

Tonnie Milligan · 06-13-2009, 08:04 AM

First of All THANK YOU to all of the YT community for the support! I reached out and you were all there. Hannah was a real trooper. She had a couple of hours of really hrd labor and wanted to be in my lap (?) then insisted on going back under the bed - I gave up and let her - within minutes we heard the first cry

as soon as she got thepuppy clean, I moved the baby & her Daddy moved her to the whelping box. Within 20 minutes she jumped out of thebox and headed under the bed and boom - puppy #2 - again, I took the baby & Daddy took her back to the box. I had my Mom on 1 phone & my neice on the other helping the babies start nursing and again Hannah jumped up knocking the now nursing babies off and moved to the back of the whelping box and I said "Now way - we have another puppy!" she delivered #3 in the box. We again settled in to nursing babies and resting. About 40 minutes later she did the same thing (remember the vet told me we were having 2 puppies!) - and she delivered puppy #4!!! All of the girls are nursing and Mom is doing very good. The babies real dad was very curious so we let him take a look, he is terrified of them - LOL - he shook like a tree leaf when he saw them - my husband (Hannah's Daddy) told him 'Brodie don't worry, you don't have to support them!

I will figure out how to post a picture I took last night of one of the girls - they are absolutely precious... I am a happy fur baby granny! Again, thank you to everyone!
