She may only have one puppy which would not really show so well. Best take her to a vet for an x-ray or ultrasound to determine how many puppies she will have, and whether one needs to fear problems with giving birth. Single puppies often are very big and this could lead to dystocia, ie the puppy is too big to fit through the birth canal or the birth canal is too small for the puppy to fit through. It will also helpful to know how many puppies are to be expected ao you will know when she is done giving birth. Of course the exam can also determine whether she is pregnant or not.
