Getting up every 2 hours is knocking me down, and she is now at a temp of 100.4 . my opinion only... The temperature thing has always been very accurate for me. Like clockwork, my bitches have always whelped within the 24 hour period following a significant temperature drop. I would start "counting" from the time her temp droppped to 99.8, that is a fairly significant drop. BUT, if in doubt, get her into your vet for an exray or at least palpation to see if someone is blocking up the works. I hope for an easy whelping and big, fat, healthy, gorgeous babies for you and can't wait to see photos!
