QUESTION: she can't get comfortable.She will pant for little while then she stops. the color has not changed it is still clear. she keeps going into dark places and hiding. she follows me every where.

Answer
It sounds like it could happen any minute. When is her due date? We don't want her to go too far over it. But it really sounds like she's getting super close. Can you still feel pups moving ok, she doesn't seem to be in any distress besides what you told me?
