No , a lot of the time it takes 2 or 3 times for a dog to conceive.

They don't always conceive the first time but it is fairly common. The gestation period is anywhere from 56-68 days, depending on the dog and the breed. I've read that if you see signs of milk production, it could mean delivery in 1-2 days however some dogs will lactate as early as 7 weeks into pregnancy. Check for movement within her belly by feeling her tummy, she will also most likely get "restless" a day or two before giving birth. You should really read up on this just in case so you'll be prepared and know what to do. There's a lot of info on canine gestation/pregnancy on ask.com

Hi Jennycruz,
Was this planned or an accident? You can tell I'm a mom, huh? LOL.
When we mated our Dalmatian we had to go see the daddy-to-be every other night for about 10 days to ensure pregnancy.
Has she gotten bigger? Can you feel the puppy "lumps" inside her? Have you seen the vet, and has he taken an X-ray yet?
Best of luck to you both, and please be sure to let us know how it turns out.
Please accept my prayers for a safe delivery and healthy pups,
Jo
