i think my dog is pregnant she has been lactating and their is something lumpy in her stomach down by her legs could she be pregnant?and what signs and symptoms do pregnant dogs have?
I don’t know if she might be pregnant but here are some signs:
Their breast get bigger
They nurse some toys
They somtimes lie in cozy spots(and somtimes make their own nest)
Those are all the sighs that i know of but if you really really think you dog is pregnat take her to the vet to make sure shes healthy,swich to puppy food and find a big Box or crate(big enough so they can strech so they can give birth confortablely)and lay blankets in the box and make sure that the puppies cant get out of the box and keep the puppies warm at all times because theyre very sensitive to the cold.

Prengnant dogs need to be taken to the vet for proper pre-natal care, especially if they belong to people who aren’t breeders and haven’t a clue how to look after a pregnant b1tch, help her whelp or how to look after a litter of newborns.

you just named them. Lumps in her stomach and lactating. Are her breasts getting firm? Her appetite grow? Congrats! Your gonna be a gramma.

You must know if she has been mated? If she has been mated then there is a good chance that she is in whelp. Early on puppies are tucked up almost behind her ribs and then before having them the puppies "drop" into her belly area so they they are ready to be born.
She could though be having a phantom or she could have Pyotr. Best to get her checked out.

If you did not take proper care of her when she was in heat she may be pregnant. As the owner of a dog you need to be more responsible than that. Did she breed or was she kept up the entire 21 days?
You have failed to do the research necessary to know what you are doing. Now you don’t even know what is going on.
Look up:
"signs & symptoms of a pregnant dog"
"dog breeding"
"Whelping"
You will need to know all of this. & if she is about ready to pop you don’t have much time.

Certainly you wrote down the dates that she was mated? If not, call your breed mentor, or reputable breeder that you bred your dog to. He/she will know the dates. Of course you know that she needs regular vet care and an ultrasound around 1/2 way thru the pregnancy. You did, of course, have all health and genetic testing done prior to breeding, as I’m sure you are a reputable breeder who doesn’t want to pass down bad traits to the pups.
Do plan on taking off at least 2 weeks prior to whelping, and at least 2 weeks afterwards, to be home with the bitch and her pups. You will need to be home 24/7 when her time comes near, and you should also plan on losing much sleep at night.
Once the pups are born, within 48 hours, all will need to be seen by the vet, and at that time, the pups will need to have their dewclaws removed. At six weeks, they’ll need to be checked for worms, get proper meds from your vet, and to be started on their vaccinations.
Once they are ready to sell, you’ll need to have a contract written up which includes a spay/neuter clause, a health guarantee, a clause that requires the new owners to have the pups seen by a vet within 48 hours after taking them home. The contract will also state that if someone should need to surrender a pup, at any time, for any reason, that it must be returned to you. The health guarantee will also state that if a pup is deemed unhealthy by a vet, you will either return their money, or replace the pup with another one. You’ll need to take the pup back, and if it’s not healthy, have it euthanized. Of course your bitch, and the dog, are both registered with a legit kennel club, as I’m sure that you wouldn’t allow two mutts to breed.
You do know, of course, that a minor cannot sell pups, which I’m sure that you are.
