Is my chihuahua pregnant 30 days after mating? Can I tell at home?

Pet's info: Dog | Chihuahua | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 9 months old | 4.3 lbs

My mated my chihuahua 30 days ago and still not sure if she’s pregnant. She was having human like symptoms and her nipples are longer and her back ones are bigger but I’m so confused because I can’t notice her belly growing. Can I know by feeling her belly or anything at home to figure out if she is?

At 30 days, that's too early to feel any puppies moving inside Mia's belly, you wouldn't be able to feel them until at least seven weeks of pregnancy. There is no way to tell at home if she is pregnant or not, you would need to take her into the vet. I would wait until at least 45 days after she was mated, then take her in for x-rays. The vet can diagnose if she is pregnant and how many puppies she is carrying. Best of luck, I hope this helps!
