If Maggie produces milk and her mammary glands are getting bigger she is either pregnant or has a false pregnancy. If her belly is big as well, then she is likely pregnant and will have her puppies soon. I suggest you take her to your vet for a pregnancy exam. If she has a falsse pregnancy your vet can stop that with a hormone injection.
