Her stomach is getting hard, she's just now starting to sag (t_ts, resting alot?
If you can, can I have an estimation about how much longer my dog has before she has her pups?

I think a month and a week, somewhere around there, but I'm not completely sure, my mom was supposed to write it down but she forgot, I'm pretty prepared, everythings ready, but I just want to be sure, about atleast when I should expect, and I can't see the pups kick or anything so I found it weird if it was soon.

Don't have any first hand information, but thought you might find this useful. From Seefido.com:
"When labor is close: The indicating signals should alert the following:
Breast feeding starts 24 hours before birth; the teats get swollen.
The Vulva is dilated and the abdomen has descended
At the beginning of labor we can see a clear fluid
Finally, 24 hours later during labor there is a drop of temperature of 1ºC.
The female licks her anal and genital area very often, as well as her abdomen when she is close to labor. She seeks calmness. Some female dogs tend who are always inside the house tend to locate themselves under furniture, while the ones that are always outside recover their wild behavior and dig a hole on the ground. Some female dogs stay still and calm before this miraculous happening, others groan and rip their blanket apart. During the first contractions the female urinates constantly. From the time labor begins she will not accept any stranger near her, but can call for her owner."
Check the link for other information. Good luck and hope you get a good batch of cute puppies!!

a dogs gestation is 9 weeks, give or take a day or two....if you know when she was bred, count 9 weeks from the first mating and that will be her due date...if you don't know, then when she has mammary development, gently squeeze a teat, and when she produces a white substance (colostrum), she will deliver any day...
Good luck with your pups!
Call your vet and have them on stand by just in case of an emergency.

How many months has it been since ur dog mated? If it has been 2 months, then you better get ready coz she cud deliver any time. Try to stay with her at home as long as possible and don't leave her alone at home. Also, keep ur vets phone numbers in handy
