Fairly confident that things are underway properly now. Extremely heavy panting constant for the last couple of hours, she has also passed a lot of string plug and keeps spinning around to look at her stomach/back end.
Wish us luck!

Congrats to those who have had their pups, sorry that 2 didn't make it Beth.

Happy Birthday Jean.

Drover hopefully your girl will get the message soon and get down to business, will check back later.

Congratulations on the new arrivals :) Hope all goes well drover xxx

That was beautiful; thank you so much.

I really do feel for Drover, she's been popping pro plus and red bull for days now, expectant. Ripley must really be making her pay!

Know how they feel, after dragging Inka to the USA for mating, she dragged it out, and made me pay for over a week.

She has been digging, pacing and panting all night, much more intense than what she has been doing, and she has not even looked at her breakfast- which is not like her as she is so greedy!

If she does not have them today I will eat my hat! It is her due date today and she does like to do things right! lol

I remember your thread earlier in the year barbara :)

I was trying to find it to confirm how long she had been playing me to give you reassurance but couldn't find it.

Many congrats on the safe arrival of your puppies Wagamama, it's been a real treat following this thread at such a special time for you all!

Now just one to go....

Come on girl, you've made it to your due date and it's Halloween - perfect! Get on with it! :-D

My bf joked that its devils night tonight so they all get devil themed names :O

Lucifer, Mestopholes(sp), Satan :)

They were my bf's suggestions!!!

Her whole body is now in periodic spasm/shaking. Im guessing this is a stronger contraction?

Ooooooh! When Maisy contracted she arched her spine and shook between, is that what itl ooks like?xx

looks like things are definately happening,do you know roughly how many puppies she is having?

Everything crossed she's on her way for you.  Wishing you a busy day.

She was scanned as having 3 which is a small litter for my breed.

Good luck it shouldn't be long now

Ah so pleased she is starting to move for you?
Good luck and relax if you can...headaches are the bane of my life, really wouldn't wish them on anyone :( .

Congratulations Jean on your new arrivals and a happy belated birthday too.
Well done waggamamma on your new babies, sorry about the others, its a shame but life goes on for the others.

she's gone to sleep now!

Of course she has, she's saving her strength for the 2.30am shift!

drover, your eyes must be out on stalks by now!  If you go much longer without sleep, you are going to start having hallucinations!

How is she this evening?  From how you described her, your bitch sounded well on her way.

Poor Drover! I really hope all is progressing well!

congrats to all,I dont need to watch tv for drama because its all on here! Im sure im not the only one who has been glued to this thread,I think you are all very brave,the worry would kill me.
Wagga, sorry for the babes you lost,but wishing you all the very best with the four you have,

Back to sleep???? That little monkey, she really is keeping you guessing!

Hope she hangs on until morning for you and you get some sleep.  She's a little minx. xx

Lea :) :)

Lets hope it's action ;)

She's not talking to my on Facebook; I think this could be it!

>I think this could be it!

I do hope so wagga, she must be at the end of her tether about now. 

Water bag came around 45 minutes ago after a brisk walk around the block. First pup is imminent.

Good luck Drover, will be keeping everything crossed for a smooth whelp :)

So pleased things are moving along last!!!!!

Another night with no sleep, but wishing you all the best that things go smoothly.

Will be thinking of you.

Jean

good luck - been popping in all day.  Glad something's finally happening.

Any pups yet? My girl had 2hrs between water sac and first pup but only pushing for about 20mins of that time.

Keep checking back for more news

Male pup at 01.44 weighing 440g, I was just about to take to the vets as she had been having strong hard contractions/straining with nothing happening since water went over 2hrs before. He needed reviving by me as my girl didnt know what to do, but seems well.
Second male arrived 02.26 weighing 405g, agasin needing a bit of help but is very lively.

All peaceful at the moment but she was scanned as having 3, so I await the next arrival praying it is a bitch!

(both black & white)

Male number 3 arrived 03.51 weighing 408g, needed a hell of a lot of reviving, and then dopram, he is very slow but have just managed to get him latched on.

And a surprise number 4 bitch at 04.09 weighing 441g. A feisty one!

My bitch is not being fantastic to be honest, not really in any rush to break the sack and not good at cleaning them.

some bitches wont do it but that doesnt mean that they wont be a fantastic mum, i have had to rip the sack and i always cut the cord with my bitch, congrats and good luck with the pups :)

Great news Drover.  I don't mind if my bitch doesn't break the sac, I normally do it 'cos I want it done! They normally get the hang of cleaning them after a couple of hours.

Our turn next (Friday-ish).

I am so very, very pleased for you.  At long last.

Congratulations!

I'm so, so happy for you Drover, this has been an incredible journey and you must be so exhausted but on a HIGH!

P.s. don't worry, Maisy took a little while to clean hers, she cleaned them when they were born but I had to break all the sacks and dry them off properly. She'll get into the swing of it.

I'm so over the moon for you!

Congratulations Waggamamma , Jean and Drover , I'll be in this position from the weekend and I can't wait , just love having puppies , it feels like forever since I've had a litter which was only 2 1/2 years ago.
Pleased all of your puppies and bitches are doing well :)

AT LAST!!!!! :-D :-D :-D

Huge Congratulations drover, good luck to all 3 with new litters.  Happy times. :-)

Congratulations to you 3 may your litters bring you all great joy. Your girls are so clever.

Congrats to everyone on their safe arrivals. I'll close this now as all the waiting is over :-)
