Physical Symptoms

Weight gain: As the weeks progress, your pup’s waistline should show a visible change as the litter of pups develops. The abdomen will get larger, and the back will become heavier and broader.
Behavior: A pregnant Frenchie might seem lethargic and less energetic than usual, and she may start nesting before giving birth.
Swollen nipples: As the pups’ due date approaches, the nipples will become larger and more visible (in some cases, very pink in colour).

Veterinary Diagnosis

X-rays: X-rays can be done to check for pregnant puppies at about two weeks of gestational age; it’ll show an X-ray image of the heads and bodies of the puppies.
Ultrasound: While X-rays provide an image, an ultrasound can provide more detailed information, such as the number of puppies and their development.
Blood test: A blood test can be taken at 25 days of gestation to provide more accurate results.

Pregnancy in French Bulldogs can be a joyful and exciting experience. By being aware of the key physical signs and taking advantage of veterinary tests and procedures, you can be sure that your Frenchie will receive the best care possible from the very start of motherhood. Whether it’s a surprise or part of a deliberate decision, understanding the basics of how to tell if your French Bulldog is pregnant gives you the best chance of ensuring a healthy, safe and smooth pregnancy for your pup.
