I would be feeding her as & when she wants.  I once used a feeding guide on the side of a bag of Nutro once and one of my dogs lost weight dramatically on the recommended amount,  so I've never looked again. I use my eye to tell me if any of my dogs need more or less food.

hi christine :)

i was thinking of doing that but worried incase she puts to much weight on in the next 2weeks befor she whelps i will just have to see how she goes . :)

If she doesn't get enough nutrition, apart from being skin and bone after she's whelped, the pups may not be as strong as you would like.  And you don't want to run the risk of eclampsia.  At this stage I let the bitch tell me what she needs.  Better than any manufacturers recommendations!  :-)

Trust in your girl!
