Befor eI take her I am going to try to give her the karo syrup or the vanilla ice cream then if it does not work I will take her in

That will just help her not become tired - it won't strengthen the contractions. Did you see any of the water sack bulge out on that contraction?

She still isn't yelping or whining, right? A vet at this point would be grabbing the baby and pulling during contractions, but you have to have a good hold on the baby and only pull with the contractions - you can't just grab a leg or the head though, you have to have the hips or the shoulders so it is pretty invasive.

she is really enjoying the vanilla ice cream she is having another contraction

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 10:46 PM

Not too much or she will have diarrhea tomorrow. That's another good sign that she's not in distress.

trini&coco · 11-23-2006, 10:48 PM

no yelping and no whinning and I did not see the sac but it was so close

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 10:50 PM

She sure does seem to be progressing very slowly, but everything else sounds good. Are the contractions still strong? How far apart?

trini&coco · 11-23-2006, 10:58 PM

strong and seven min apart but with her push I gently open her vulva and saw her water sac

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 11:02 PM

I'm really starting to appreciate my girls - my last delivery she had her first pain at 2:00 in the afternoon, first pup at 2:15 and a total of four by 3:30. Basically three good contractions and pushes for each one. She is 4 3/4 pounds (Dad is just under 4), but she has fairly wide hips.

sac is hangin we dont see a puppy its only half way out

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 11:13 PM

My first granddaughter was just born August 2nd at home with a midwife (totally against her mine and her father's wishes). In fact, she didn't even feel the need for a midwife, but we drew the line on that one. It was a wonderful experience seeing the baby swim out (water birth), but it was very nerve wracking too. It didn't help that we were having a hundred year flood that night and I didn't even know if an ambulance could get to us if we needed one. She had a healthy girl with no complications, but if it was a boy - he was going to be named Noah!

please help

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 11:15 PM

That sounds great - it might go back in, but you'll have a puppy very soon now. Don't break the sack, but if it breaks on it's own don't worry the pup will be fine for a little while. What color is the fluid in the sack - if it looks black that is probably the puppy you are seeing.

trini&coco · 11-23-2006, 11:16 PM

yes it is black

Lacy's Mom · 11-23-2006, 11:16 PM

Is the sack still filled with fluid or just the membrane hanging out - it's fine either way.

trini&coco · 11-23-2006, 11:17 PM

fluid only no pup another contraction
