Some notes on the last few days of Emery's pregnancy . . .
Week 9
Due Date January 29th (approximately)
- Watch for her temperature to drop.
- You may take it rectally if you want but she's just plain old cool to the touch compared to what she has been the last 8 weeks.
- She may also become restless, seek seclusion and in the last few days.
Due Date January 29th (approximately)
- Expected date of whelp. Average is 62 days but may take place from the 58th to the 68th day.
- Keep watching for that cool to the touch.. if you're actually taking the temp, it does drop from 101 to 98 degrees.
- Appetite will disappear as whelping approaches.
- May see a clear discharge from the vulva.
- At onset of labor may pace, dig, shiver, pant and/or vomit.
- First fetus will be delivered within 4 hours of the onset of labor.
We have an exiting week ahead, I believe in you Emery! 💘
