I think we are close! I'm a Nervous Wreck! We are expecting our first litter - Hannah has gone under the bed - she did not want her breakfast this morning. She has come out 2 times to go out to potty and wanted me to hold her for just a minute or two and then right back under the bed. She is having 2 babies - the perfect litter, my grown sons can't wait to get their very own fur babies... My 'emergency' kit is all ready and the vet's phone # is on speed dial (LOL) any other advise for the extremely nervous mom? :) |
First of all, Congratulations to you and Hannah. How exciting. First of all, YOU have to be calm and relaxed or Hannah will pick up on your nervousness. If you have her whelping box/area ready, you might encourage her to stay there. How many days along is she? Have you taken her temp? You can rest assured that your YT family will help all they can, it is a good thing that you have your vet's number on speed dial. LOL I know Dr. Amy's phone number by heart. If you will have to use an emergency vet after hours, have that number handy as well. |
Do you have a whelping area set up for her? The one thing I would not do is let her have them under the bed. Good Luck! :) |
Cindy and I were posting at the same time. LOL When she says that your YT family will help all they can you can believe it! They are awsome and if it weren't for them I know our outcome on Monday morning would have been far different than the perfect outcome we had. You are in the best hands here! :thumbup: Kim :) |
I am doing a good job of being calm with her (I think LOL!) - thankfully she is a very calm girl... She is 64 days - I said her due date was today (6/12) the vet said (6/10) when she saw him - Her temp is 99.1... I think my nerves are mor anxious than anything - I am a 'stay-at-home' (I work from home) mom to Hannah & Brodie so they are like my kids - you know how yorkies are :-) I truly appreciate the info & support! |
I have had her whelping area set up for about 2 weeks & tried repeatedly to introduce her to it - no go... My male loves it LOL - he thinks it is great! |
If you have a playpen, xpen or even a baby gate that you could use to keep her in an area with the bed or at least where you can watch her I would try that. Under the bed you won't be able to help if needed or see what you need to. :) |
That's a good idea - do you think itis ok to wait until she starts moving into 'panting' labor? |
I just want to say Best wishes to you and your soon to be momma! You sound like you are prepared and educated. Congratulations and I can't wait to see pics! :D |
congrats on your new arrivals to be , i would be just like you nervous and so excited. I bred mine didn't take they only hooked one time . So in two days I am picking up another fur ball and I can't wait to get her. I will be excited to hear how your first time went, I hope my first time will be in the near year! karen |
cindy is right. We are here for you if you need help. Just try to stay calm. Your nerves will travel to her. congratulations. |
There are several of us here, and always willing to help. Are you planning on whelping in the bedroom? If not, I would shut the door so she couldn't go there. I would remove your male from the room where you are going to whelp, and contain her if she's hiding I would guess she about to get ready. |
The most important think is to put the momma somewhere where she is comfortable and can relax and you can see her. If you have other dogs in the house you need to put them where they can't bother the momma. I always cover our bed with a old comforter and I put our whelping basket on the bed. 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. |
Thank you! I love this idea - that is where she is used to being :) Her temp is down to 98.3 - she is out from under the bed and just wants her 'Daddy' to hold her now that he is home from work (she is a total Daddy's Girl) - if only they could tell us what was going on! I keep going back to my books to see if I can figure anything out or find anything I missed to see how much longer LOL - I know - patience (is a virtue)... |
Thanks for the update.. I was wondering how things were going! |
