Ovulation is considered day 0. Ovulation is when the female releases an egg from the ovaries, ready for fertilization following mating. The female will be receptive to the male a few days before ovulation. Fertilization of the egg can occur 2-3 days after ovulation, depending on how long the male's sperm takes to reach the egg.
The fertilized eggs make their way to the uterus, where they will eventually become embedded in the lining. You may notice some minor behavioral changes at this early stage.
By week 3, the embryos have been implanted in the wall of the uterus. Development begins and the embryos become dependent on the mother for nutrition.
By day 28 it is possible for your vet to confirm pregnancy. The fetuses can be seen through ultrasound and also felt through palpation. The fetuses are now a couple of centimeters long and the spinal cord, eyes and other facial features begin to take shape.
Amniotic fluid will build to protect the pups from around day 32, so you will notice an increase in the bitch's size and weight. You may also notice an increase in her appetite and should start offering her more food as needed. By Day 35 the embryos can now be considered fetuses as the organs begin to develop, and their shape becomes more obvious. It is at this point the sexes of the fetuses are determined as their sex organs develop.
The neonatal pups are now almost fully formed and begin to rapidly develop in size. The mother's appetite will be large at this point. Preparations for the whelping box should now be completed.
I FELT PUPPIES KICKING 12/26/25 Day 50 and the skeletons will have developed; meaning the number of pups can now be determined by x-ray. The mother will likely be expressing milk at this point ready for her pups. The pups are now crowded in the uterus and birth could happen at any point! The female may start digging, a natural nesting behavior, in the whelping box.
The female is ready for whelping and will likely be quiet in preparation of labor. Rectal temperature can be taken a few times daily to help indicate when labor will begin. A decrease in temperature indicates that whelping will begin soon.

Day 63 marks the average length of gestation in the dog and is likely to be the day the pups are born.
