I forgot to say! I have ordered a whelping box with rails. In the meantime I have allocated a space for her in one of my rooms which is little used. I have put down a duvet in the corner of it which I hope she will think "that's looks like a nice spot to have my babies".

Just to get her used to an area if she is fretting about that. I have a centrally heated house, do you think I need heat pads? Hope the whelping box comes early next week and we might be in business!
