Xray said brita girl is having 2 pups. Vet said they are very tiny & should be fit her canal & she will have no problem.

Im concerned she hasnt really gained any weight.

:(

Also yesterday looks like her belly dropped down & today i felt a movement like 2 fingers or something pop. Cant really explain haha

I have everything ready she should be having them in 5-7 days at most.

I heard the labor symptoms should be :

Temp drop - she has been 99 & 100

No eating - she has been eating normal lil bits 2 day

Clear discharge- she has this her vulva hair sticks a lot i have to wipe her

She sleeps a lot

What else ? I have read some other symptoms i cant remember anything specifically?

Im watching videos & reading now

Im excited to see the babies

Hi - I've been watching your thread on pins & needles right along with you to see if your girl was indeed pregnant. Looking at the pictures you've posted I was thinking you might have a false pregnancy going on, but I guess at 10+ lbs. and carrying only 2 puppies, she's got plenty of room to hide those babies in there. Congratulations on your exciting news & I wish you much luck with the whelp.
The temp drop is a good guideline, but can also drive you crazy as sometimes it will go up and down, up and down. But a drop is definitely a sign that labor could happen within 24 hrs. I have found that I've been able to notice a definite temp drop by placing my hand on her belly; it will be obviously "cooler to the touch" than it has been. Their bellys are pretty warm all through their pregnancy. I learned about that trick on one of the canine pregnancy calendars that gives you week by week pregnancy progress. My girls have always gone off their food the day of or before whelping as well.

I am kind of in your situation right now....wondering about one of my girls, who is likely 5 weeks along this weekend. But as I do with each & every time, my mind seems to like being a non believer until it is very obvious. :rolleyes: But with any luck, we should be having our litter of Biewer Terrier puppies in mid November.

Aaawwww so exciting to have new pups.! I feel the joy!

Heres a pic of now i tried to cut some of her hair.

Yeah shes almost 11lbs so shes pretty big & could hide them very well. She just seemed chunkier. & wider. But shes now confirmed.

I thought it was a false pregnancy too but even tho deep in my heart i knew
She had some symptoms & as her owner i saw a lot of change. Im so happy =]

That picture looks a bit more promising......or maybe it's because now we KNOW she is PG. :p I did also notice the brown splotchy marks on her belly (looks like her belly is dirty). Were they there before she got pregnant? I ask because I remember seeing that on my girls a little bit as well when they were pregnant, but is not there when they are not. Not sure what it is or why it's there, just something I have noticed before & wondered about.
I had a Yorkie that once had a singleton puppy; that pregnancy drove me NUTS with wonder until almost the very end; even after I knew she was, looking at her it was still hard to believe. She was 6+ lbs pre pregnancy and whelped an almost 7 ounce puppy, without having a C-section thankfully.

Well, as mentioned earlier in this thread (I think), or in other threads; one day you are wondering and then BAM!.......suddenly their belly blossoms and/or another sign shows up.......and you know for sure, or at least as sure as you can be until the pups arrive. Last night when I checked my Hannah, her belly seemed more solid AND even more reassuringly I noticed that she had some crusted up hair near her vulva area; the clear sticky discharge usually noticed around the 5th week. Yep, puppies coming in November!! :heart to:D:heart to

Omg i didnt notice the freckles lol until now maybe cuz they appeared lil by lil/

She never had them & cant be dirt cuz i had just bathed her before this picture.

Yea day by day shes looking bigger & bigger

This is her pic of about 3-4weeks.

Yea vulva was something never happened before so i kinda found it weird.


Yeah she looks more promising i guess from the shave i gave her haha.

So, how's the status? How'd the birthing go? I hope you have time for the pups. How's Brita doing? Please, let us know. Shy and Dash and I had our first (and only) litter... well, Dash may go on to be a stud for another couple Yorkies.

It's a great thing for sure. Our girls are 7 weeks today.

Please get back to us when you get a chance. And get some sleep where you can :)

Good luck and please keep us updated!

My bella is 63 days prego and im also on pins and needles :confused:

delete

What the heck happened? All of a sudden no updates!

Hope everything is well for mama

Sorry everyone. I lost my old phone with all the adorable pics. But brita actually had only 1 pup which I had to give away to my mom as promised. & I had forgotten my username & Pw. Sorry again

& btw Brita Is in heat again. & with 2 succesful ties lets see if we get pups from a nice different pure breed yorkie stud.

Oh my, didn't she just have that puppy? Can you give her a rest? (Or better yet, a spay?)

She had a pup in November and you're breeding her again???

Smh.

Leading reproductive specialists will concur if you have a breeder, you need to keep her bred...it is the skipped heat cycles that wreck havoc on the reproductive system of breeding females. If you are keeping the breeding female in tip top shape, with correct diet and exercise, it is best for the females to breed them every cycle. When you no longer want to breed the female, spay her before she comes into heat again....it is the hormones hammering the system that cause the problems. But she needs to be kept in the best condition possible...she is an athlete and needs to be treated like one with her diet, exercise, etc. (Skip a cycle if you had to have a c-section.)

Boohoo, I feel sorry for those little females forced to carry litter after litter.

That is the case with rabbits as well, they say that fat deposits develop around their ovaries if they are too old when first bred also, of course the are ovulating all but two to three days of each month with a gestational average of 28 days- just amazing. I wonder if it is the hormones from the heat cycles that are damaging to rabbits as well? I wonder what that means for us humans? Particularly in the case of lactation. Some of my children were very close together and the last two with overlapping lactation-yikes that took a toll! I guess that is where the tip top shape comes in, I would often stare at my fat pregnant goats chewing grass in the subscribe and long to trade places as I mucked the barn or loaded into the car to head to work, lol.

I can tell you breast, ovarian, vaginal, cervical, and uterine cancers are all hormone driven (as well as others ). Women who don't ovulate, are at higher risk for these cancers. Women who do fertility drugs, especially IVF cycles or natural cycles with fertility medications are also at a higher risk. IVF cycles that do not result in pregnancy, or fertility assisted natural cycles that do not result in pregnancy increase that risk even more. Women who never get pregnant, increased risk.

Everything we do is hormone driven....I can only imagine what goes on in our bodies.

I guess I can see from a breeders perspective, I just can't imagine as a human, having 3-4 babies, and then by the time they're 3-4 months old, getting pregnant again.

18 months in between was more than enough for me, and I didn't even have a child to take care of (I was a surrogate).

No pregnancy. Will wait til next heat.
