What are the signs: Is my female dog pregnant or just maturing?

How can I tell if my dogs maturing or pregnant? Pet's info: Dog | American Pit Bull Terrier | Female | 1 year and 5 months old | 75 lbs

Unfortunately there's no way to tell for sure at home. I would certainly say that Zaria appears to be either obese or pregnant, and given that she has mammary gland enlargement as well as being overweight I'd bet on pregnancy, especially if she's been around an intact male. But the only way to tell for sure is to take her in to see her vet. Very rarely we can palpate (feel) puppies but the best tool is x-ray - an x-ray taken of her abdomen at this point would likely for sure reveal puppies if she's pregnant.
