Answer
Hi Lisa. Anytime a dog is bred, on purpose or accident, always assume she is until proven wrong. Do you know exactly what day she was bred on? If she was in heat and was bred at the end of March, she would be due pretty soon if she is pregnant. It's really hard to tell for sure just talking to you over the internet. False pregnancies can mimic a real one. Your best bet would be to take her to the vet and let him palpate her, he may even recommend x-rays to tell for sure. That's all you really can do right now. Good luck!
