Answer
Hi Brenda.  The normal gestation period for dogs is between 58 - 63 days.  

The normal heat cycle is 21 days (3 groups of 7-days) as follows:  
Day 1 - 7 the genital area swells, and bleeding starts. During this period, the female will not allow the male to mate.  Day 7 - 14 the female will allow mating.  Day 15 - 21 no outward physical signs, but if conception took place this is the time that the embryos are forming.

I do not know anything about Raspberry Tea and k-9 birth, so I can not help you with this question.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions.
