If your [pregnant dog](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/pregnancy/) is having some fluid discharge and she is at or near her due date, expect her to have her pups soon. Confine her to an area that is quiet (if she isn't already in a whelping box) since noise or stress can cause her to delay the delivery. If you've been [monitoring her temperature](https://www.petcoach.co/article/how-to-take-your-pet-s-temperature-in-7-easy-steps/) and it has fallen below 100 degrees, the pups should come in the next 24 hours. [As labor nears](https://www.petcoach.co/article/whelping-giving-birth-in-dogs), she may become agitated, getting up and down or licking herself. Once you see firm signs of labor, simply monitor her. Most dogs will deliver a litter without human intervention. If she does not begin pushing within 2-4 hours of the start of labor, a call or visit to your local emergency vet to ensure everything is still going fine is strongly recommended.

Hello. It is so difficult to advise you as to what to do. It is certainly too early for her to deliver, but she may also be losing the litter. I understand that these are challenging times, but most, if not all, veterinarians are still seeing patients. Please call your vet to see if they can check Yuki. An ultrasound of her abdomen will show if the puppies are still doing well, & this will be very good news. I hope all is well & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

My bitch is 48 days pregnant and has a clear mucus discharge coming out of her vulva area. Does this mean she is ready to have her puppies soon? Or are they moving down?
She's a basset lab mix and is only about 10 months old. She was mated we guess, around the middle to end of July. The vet we normally see told us she would possibly deliver between. The end of September and beginning of October. However he also said
