Pregnant (week 5)

The fetuses develop their sex organs and begin to look like actual puppies.  The leg buds lengthen and develop toes.














My belly look noticeably swollen as the pups take up more space.

With less room for full meals, I eat smaller meals more frequently.

Pregnant (week 4)

Fetuses can be felt in the uterine horns around day 28, and can also be seen by ultrasound.  The spinal cords are developing, and the fetuses are beginning to grow facial features.  The uterus fill with fluids to protect the fetuses.  After this, it will be weeks until the puppies can be felt again.


My appetite increased!
