You should have done research before today! but, since your already to that point, this should help!
Stages of Labor
Your Dam may exhibit all or just some of the following signs.
Stage 1
• Temperature will drop to 98 degrees or so...
• Eyes will dilate
• She will stare at you and want you near
• Refusal to eat
• Hide under your bed or a dark place
• Laying on her side but can't seem to get comfortable
• Mucus Discharge
Stage 2 - pre labor
• Digging
• Shivering
• Panting
• Staring at her rear end
• Licking vulva excessively
• Mild Uterine Contractions
Stage 3 - Labor
• Hard Uterine Contractions
• Extreme Shivering
• Water Breaking
• Grunting and pushing
• Visible sign of the First pup and delivery (Whelp)
Note # If the Dam is pushing and grunting and crying out in pain that lasts for over an hour with no visible pup,
you maybe in trouble. This is when you need to search your gut. Ask yourself, how do you feel?
Do you feel you are safe or in trouble. Go by your gut instinct. Read the Dams signs, her body is talking to you.
She is probably safe if she is napping between contractions, but if is she becoming exhausted from constant pushing and straining,
if she appears close to collapse you maybe in trouble. She is telling you something is wrong and a puppy maybe to large to pass thru her pelvis.
If you feel you are in trouble. Call your Vet and get ready to seek help

And you waited until NOW to find out?
Ya know, the time to research this stuff was at least nine weeks ago (minimum).
Instead of asking a bunch of Yahoos on the internet, why not call a VET (who would actually know) and ask them?

the best wayis to take her temp. teh mormal temp is 101 but it will drop to 98 and then she should deliver within 48 hours. other than the signs differ from dog to dog
