Day 66/62.. Can anyone help? Hi everyone. Thought I'd start a new thread.. Can you all please tell me what day your Yorkies had babies on, how many she whelped and the birth stories. How long did you realise she was in labour before a pup was born? Poppy is on/between day 66/62. I'm a worry wort but can't see her going into labour anytime soon as she's isn't showing any signs really. She's been losing her mucus plug (not so much the last 2 days). She has her milk. She's been doing a little bit of nesting (maybe once or twice a day). She seems so worn out and just sleeps constantly. Hoping it happens soon - naturally too! Thank you all in advance :) |
I have had some go as long as 69 and 70 days but most go between 61 and 63 days. It looks like the last breeding took with your girl so I would imagine she would have them very soon. Hopefully she will have them tomorrow. Most would start showing signs of labor several hours or longer before the first pup was born. There are always exceptions. I have had some that progressed very quickly from the first signs of labor. First time moms usually take a bit longer. |
Hoping she's starting. Could be wrong though. She has been moving from her whelping box to her bed then onto my rug etc. I'm not letting her out the house as it's very dark here so I've got a pad down for her. She went out on to it and done a wee then went upstairs under my bed. That is very strange as she hasn't left my side in weeks and don't go up there without me. I brought her back down. She's done a bit of more nesting since. Shaking a little. Breathing slightly faster but not panting. She had a poo on the pad just now and when I cleared it up i could tell it's softer than usual but not runny. She's having a little sleep again now. |
It definitely sounds like this is it. What time is it there? I am praying all goes well. |
She's been settled for the last 30 mins. Just sleeping in her bed. Is this normal during early stages? It's 10:30pm here. I'm in the UK. |
Think she may be giving you some early signs of labor. Hope all goes well |
Yes, it is very common for them to rest during early labor. Usually when I observe mine during early labor I notice they will be sleeping but when they have a contraction they will change positions then rest some more. |

She's sleeping again. Do I go to bed myself of wait this out? I've thought a few times that she was in labour and she tricked me. I don't want to do an all nighter if she's tricking me again!.. But on the other hand I don't want to go to bed because I'm sooooo excited that the pups could possibly be on their way! Hummm.... Decisions decisions... |
It sounds like you might be up most of the night. The best thing to do is to dim the lights and pretend you are resting. This is especially important once the hard contractions start. She may still try to go pee and poop some. You just don't want to distract her or interfere to much until the puppy makes an appearance. It will take her a lot of pushing to work the first puppy out. |

No it's dark in here, minus the TV on quietly so I have some light. She's calm & relaxed. She was just panting. I managed to count 103 breaths in 1 minute. Seems to have slowed a little now though? She keeps trying to rest bless her. |
Her belly keeps going lumpy every 5-10mins or so... Is this normal? Is this a sign? |
I keep checking if there are puppy's yet. Those could be contractions :). |
No pups as yet. She's laying next to me ATM getting some rest. I wish I could! Her belly goes really hard and it's bumpy (where the pups are). Only lasts for about a minute? |
