Answer
Hello.
As with humans, pregnancy can cause difficulties with bodily functions. There are a lot of changes going on, and less and less room for everything to function properly.

Until the pups are born, switch to a basic management strategy. When you are not able to watch her, she should be in a management area that allows her to do her business in an "approved" location. You can always simply use an exercise pen with puppy pads or newspapers.

She should be fine after the big day.

Good luck.
