When will a pregnant dog start showing?

I have a Pomeranian who is possibly pregnant (by our male pom) . She would be due in 2 1/2 weeks, but isn't obviously pregnant (as far as size). She may have gained some weight, but with all that hair it's hard to say. Her nipples (near her hind legs) seem like they are filling out, but the others seem fairly flat. Her stomach does feel pretty firm/tight. Would she be showing more obviously by now if she were pregnant (she'd be 2 days shy of 7 weeks)? Or could it be a small litter?



Please...no comments on how they should be spayed/neutered or how aweful I am. All of her puppies (if there are any) will have a loving home with us. She is well cared for and I have delivered puppies before. Serious answers only please. Thanks you!

Poms are so petite, their "litters" may be 1-3 max in my experience. Their gestation period is about 63 days plus/minus, but pups are so tiny it may be difficult to know for certain. Vet can do palpation on her abdomen and perhaps tell or, a quick ultra-sound can let you know if she is and how many pups as well. Good luck.

It is possible that she has a very small litter (one or two pups) and isn't showing much. It's also possible that she's having a false pregnancy which can show all of the signs other than getting big. From personnal experience and a solid week of staying up every night, I suggest going on to the vet and find out for sure. We always have ours checked about half way through, but a few months ago, we had an unfortunate incident with a car that ran a stop sign and slammed us, the night before our appointment for her xray. This caused us to be unable to go, until it was close to her due date, so I just decided to watch her closely. Mistake.Mistake.Mistake. I dealt with the appearance of onset of labor for days and days with all signs (digging,temp drop,milk,licking,mucus drainage and so on),,,,,but no real labor. We finally did suck it up and go on to the vet, and of course no puppies. Never again will I push off the xray , if I have to drag my beaten body out the door into a taxi to get to the vet. Not having to worry and wonder from now until after her due date would be worth your 60 bucks.
