ok, no rude comments just need some info on my dog ?

so here is the question, my dog is pregnant, her due date is on the 17th, but ive been seeing a lot of movement in her belly tonight, the puppies in there are kicking a lot, so wondering, will she have the puppies today, cause of the movement there making, still haven't seen any other signs, the panting, i did see her have one contraction about an hour ago, but hasn't had any since, and, she isn't panting hard like all dogs do when they go into labor so wondering, will she have the babies today

Update:

this is her second time, and second accident, the first time my mom got mad that she was leaving blood marks all over the floor and threw her outside with my male dog, this time, i didnt think it would happen cause the only male dog i had that was around her all the time was a little 5 month old puppy, i went to go brush my teeth, heard crying came back, and they were tied together, otherwise stuck together, in her first delivery, she was panting a lot, and held them in all night long cause she wanted to have them on my bed, and she wouldnt push them out cause, she wanted to give birth on my bed, so i finally let her on my bed, and she finally pushed them out one right after another, really fast to, i guess after the whole night of holding them in, anyways, i already made a spot for her on the corner of my bed, and have her there, i saw a lot of kicking in her belly, saw her have on contraction, then saw a lot of kicking, she was cleaning herself non stop, right now she is just resting

Update 2:

i have my lights turned off, only have my lamp, and closet light on, cause i heard they like the darkeness, right now i turned my head to look at her and she was cleaning herself again, but she hasnt started panting, like the first time with her first delivery, she was panting a whole lot, so was just wondering, and she hasnt eaten since about 11pm, its now 4am, she went to her bowl of puppy food, she is not a puppy, she is 4yrs old, the vet said to put her on puppy food after a certain time of her being pregnant, and she went to the bowl, smelled it and wasnt interested in the food at all, and i know dogs will not eat that night when they will go into labor

Update 3:

yeah am not dumb, i know what to do when the first puppy comes out, i have the little blue sunction thing, that doctors use on babies to get mucus out of there mouth and nose when there born, i have towels, and blankets ready i even have a heating pad, if one actually needs more help, my cat had kittens 5 weeks ago, she had 5 got tired after having the first 4, and didnt clean the 5th kitten that came out, so i had to do everything, clean her, get the fluid out of her mouth, rub her body to stimulate her breathing, just wondering if she would have them by today, seeing as she hasnt eaten, and she had a contraction at 2:45pm, and a lot of movement in her belly i know not to push on her belly or anything like that, cause it might hurt her and the babies,

Update 4:

and im 24yrs old, not underage, i am on disability, so yeah tight on money really badly, and my mom is mexican, doesnt like animals at all, but she cant say no to me, seeing as am her only daughter, and this dog, thats pregnant, my mom got her for me for christmas, 4yrs ago, i was 20, and i know the complications, ive been studying animals since i got my first dog at 10yrs old, just the first time she had puppies didnt really watch her when she finally pushed them out, she got on my bed, and went under the covers and had them like she is doing right now, is on my bed, under the covers, just resting, dont think she is having them, cause she isnt moving but seeing as i saw her have a contraction and she stop eating, gonna stay awake, till she has them, doesnt have them by mid day, then gonna take a nap

Update 5:

yeah youd think, they bearly opened a low cost spay and neuter clinic, like i mean bearly, the other clinics here charge 300dollars to get her fixed, i only get 670dollars a month, am on disability, cant go out and get a job, to get more money, cause if i get a job, i will loose my medicaid, and wont be able to afford my medicine, one of my medicines cost $1,000 just for one little bottle of 30pills, sucks to be me huh, but when i learned about the low cost spay and neuter clinic she was already in her 2nd month of being pregnant, and my mom is catholic, doesnt believe in abortions, i brought it up to her, when my baby girl got raped by a male dog, i called the vet, ask about the price on getting her an abortion they said 350dollars, i talk to my mom and my mom said no way, so yeah, right now am in the process of trying to sale some of my stuff, to be able to get some money and get her into the vet, to get her check, and spayed, after she has babies, and get her a microchip,

Update 6:

some of you might have the money to take your dog in for a 300dollar spaying, but i dont have that privalage, trying to sale my laptop right now, trying to sale a lot of my stuff, to get some money, right now am flat broke, dont have not even a dollar on me, so sucks to be me, anyways, didnt think it would happen seeing as the doggy that got attached to her was only a 5month old puppy, so yeah, never knew a 5month old puppy whos balls havent drop would get her pregnant, but she is pregnant, and due either today or on the 17th,

Update 7:

yeah, ask the vet if he does payment plans and he doesnt, i wanted to get her spayed a long time ago, but the vet doesnt do payment plans

    not necessarily, on the movement, they can show signs of diarrhea, vomiting, shaking, crying,panting,restlessness. just keep a very close eye on her. apart from a few crys and the diarrhea our dog went into labor with just the contraction. didn't see any of the above so just watch her close by

    Mom got mad and threw this poor girl outside????? as to your answer in hope that I may help the dog. Most dogs can have a litter unassisted. You need to make her comfy and warm..... blood loss should occur after she whelps her first, before that you may see a clear or mucus blood. Do not push on her belly to get her to have them. When she pushes just pet her head and tell her good girl. There are so many complications that can occur, and I do not want to frighten you so just re post if something weird happens.

    When a puppy comes out clear the airway and don't cut the cord till the afterbirth comes out which will e attached to the sack the baby is in. use a suction on the nose. If the baby is blue you must use a combination of Centric force and nose suctioning.

    Babies can not control their body temp for 3 weeks so keep them warm and cozy. keep them in a clean environment, and find great homes for then when they are 12 weeks old.

    Sweetie, Breeding is complicated, expensive, and should be left to the knowledgeable breeders who DNA test for genetic disorders. PLEASE have your girl spayed after this litter. I am sure you love your dog very much, but don't allow this to happen again. you run the risk of losing her every time he gets pregnant, and your risk is much greater because of your lack of experience.

    If there is a big problem double sacs presenting, more than 3 hours in between pups, excessive bleeding. get your Mom to take you to the vet right away. I know money is an issue for most people now adays,

    He res another idea i feel very comfy with. find a breeder in your town and call them, explain your situation Betcha they will help you no questions asked because most breeders care about all dogs. I know I would help a kid out as long as they agreed to spay the dog in a few months. I don't know your name, but I will pray for you. Keep your chin up and be brave!!!

    You don't get to have dogs just because you want them and make all kinds of excuses for why you can't take care of them. The girl needs to be spayed. Call the vet and ask to set up a payment plan like anybody else with money problems. If you do not have the privilege of being able to make these kinds of arrangements, I am sorry, the privilege of dog ownership is not for you.

    Nobody has a crystal ball to tell you when the babies will be born.

    You would think after the first time you would get the poor girl spayed...

    If you can't afford to properly care for your animals you shouldn't have them. That includes a spay.
