Hi Kim!!
Please look article: http://www.askedweb.com/askedweb/What_To_Expect_When_Your_Dog_Is_Expecting/
your a female beagle can Get Pregnant or she can False Pregnancy : http://www.askedweb.com/askedweb/Canine_False_Pregnancy/
Confirming pregnancy necessitates a trip to the veterinary office. The earliest method of pregnancy detection is ultrasound -- a nice test because it is noninvasive and very reliable. Fetal heartbeats can be detected at around the 25th day from first breeding. This is not, however, considered a reliable way to determine fetal number.
Most experienced veterinarians can determine pregnancy by simply feeling the dog's abdomen during a certain a window of time -- about 20-30 days after conception. During this time period, there is uterine swelling around the placental sites that feels like firm and discrete lumps. After 30 days, the uterine swelling is more diffuse and it is difficult to distinguish the gravid uterus from the feel of the intestinal tract.
If you wasn't even thinking about breeding...please spay your dog before she create their first unwanted litter.

Around 20-30 days an experianced vet can feel the abdomen to find out if the dog is pregnant. However, this only works on dogs that are not overweight. Besides this you will have to get an ultrasound.

The best way to save money IS to get her checked and to do regular prenatal follow-ups just like with a human, then get her spayed as soon as your vet advises you that it is safe.

You could have saved money by spending $300 upfront and getting her spad and none of this would happen!! Get her to a vet!!

you NEED to take her to the vet for prenatal care, otherwise you are risking something going wrong further along in the pragnancy. if you were pregnant, wouldnt you get prenatal care to make sure everything was going alright?

Hopefully it is a false preganancy so that you don't have to add to the thousands of beagles being put to their death every day.
Get her to the vet and spay her this week.
