Question
I have a Boston Terrier....she mas been mated....she doesn't show too many signs of being pregnant...she has puled a few times in the last month...and her nipples on her lower part nect too her private area are more swollen compared to the others....but she is a little dog..so maybe she is caring little puppies also..?!?

Answer
Jen -

Take her to a vet right away. It's vital that they be given a chance to check her over, make sure she's in the excellent health required to bear and raise puppies, and can tell you if she;s pregnant.  

Dogs do not vomit from being pregnant like people do.... and they have their pups 9 weeks from the date of breeding.

Is there some reason you let her get bred without knowing all of this ahead of time ??  Or was it an accident ??

Please understand that spaying your girl will both save a lot of hassle and help her live a longer life (not to mention the issues of unplanned puppies)
