did she have 5 ties? that seems rather a lot or were they slip matings or a mixture of both?

Bitches can produce milk on a phantom and some also gain weight / nest etc and believe me when I say they can be sufficiently bad to convince you they are pregnant even when you know there is no way they could be.

But given the number of times she was mated, I definitely wouldn't be taking any chances.

Trouble is, i cannot see, or feel any pups at all.
We have milk, she is nesting, her belly hair is falling out, so all the signs are there.
Can all these signs still be there with a phantom ?
I have not had her scanned, but will take her tommorow i think, i just wondered if anyone on here may dispense some sound advice before hand!
Tanks in advance for any answers
