Not Feeling The Puppies Move:2wks To Go hey everyone, i have a question. I have always been able to feel the puppies move around with all of my past litters when we have about three weeks to go. my little girl is due in two weeks (big as a house i might add) and i cannot feel any of the puppies moving around. i can feel the sacks and there are about 4. Is this common? |
Have you called your vet and asked them yet? I would maybe take her in for a check up. Or if you have a stethoscope there try listening for heartbeats? |

I would try to listen to the heartbeats and if it was really concerning me I'd have an ultra sound, that way you'd see them moving and see the heartbeats and know for sure. I'm sure everything is fine though....good luck and please keep us posted! |
i think i will take her to the vet. i am not sure if it is too soon to feel the puppies (but her last two litters, it was easy and i could see them move) maybe it is to early for this litter. my vet doesn't like to do ultra sounds or xrays on mommy's to be, i have never demanded for them to do it. do you think if i tell them this is what i want, they will do it? |
I've had both done and I think the ultra sound is not stressful for them at all. I was in the room and held her and he ran it over her belly. With an xray you wouldn't see them moving anyways, but an ultra sound you see them move and see the hearts beat. The xray is more accurate to determine how many pups there are, the ultra sound isn't. If I was concerned I'd ask them to do it or call around to other vets who do it. |
spk w the vet. she stated sometimes you cannot feel the puppies move until day 57. so i have a week to go. i am still going to take her in just to make sure thanks for all of your advise |
pups If there is no green discharge, I woudl not be worried myself...some move alot others, are quite still until the last week...even then.. |

Babies moving My girl is due any day now & I just started feeling movement a few days ago. So I wouldn't worry yet.:D |
Well you know I was having the same problem with my girl, couldnt feel anything. Well last nite she was lying on my lap, I had both hands around her tummy and what do you no, I could feel so much movement, as this is my first litter i was so excited. Im getting quite nervous now as she is due Saturday. I have been lighting candles and saying a little prayer that all goes smoothly for her. |
finally yesterday they were moving all over the place. so i quess they were just resting. muffie is due anytime from tomorrow thru sunday. she is on day 58. the temp taking starts today or maybe tomorrow. the only thing left i have to do is cut the hair around her nipples and i am ready. GOSH....I ALWAYS GET SO NERVOUS. |
i can say they are moving all of the place now. i can see them moving around. sorry i was such a ninny about this. i have never lost a puppy but read about it all the time here. it scares me but i know it is bound to happen one day. |
Best of luck with the upcoming delivery! :xfingers: |
Yay..what good news...keep us posted on her progress!! Dawn |
