Just to add not all bitches change much after being mated. Some of mine would do the classic - bit of morning vomiting. They rarely went off food and although some would be noticeably more careful with themselves early on, most didn't until their increased girth slowed them down. Bitches don't read text books, and even another pregnancy in the same bitch, can produce different behaviour. If you know your bitch well, you may notice a slight thickening of the flanks by around 4 weeks. And obviously you should see puppies moving around by the 7th week. You are playing a waiting game - be patient and plan for a litter.
