False pregnancies are also common, and that's part of the reason the vet needs to know when her heat cycle was. If she was in heat 3 months ago, then she would have delivered by now if it was a true pregnancy (for example).

And you really should get them fixed. If you can't afford to do both, at least get the male fixed, it's easier and cheaper to fix a male dog.

She very well could be pregnant. Pregnancy usually lasts 63-65 days in the dog. The swelling of the nipples that you see while she's in heat should have gone down by now. I would suggest you take her to the vet and have her examined. If there is any question about whether or not she is pregnant, sometimes it's hard to palpate puppies, you can have her x-rayed at around 45 days gestation and the puppies will be visible. Just to be safe, make sure she's on a good puppy food so that she's getting all of the nourishment she needs to have healthy pups.

It could be a false pregnancy but it is possible she's pregnant, I would recommend you at least get one of your dogs fixed puppies can be very expensive if any types of problems arise plus there are to many dogs out there who need to be adopted

let the vet check her.

Please take your dog to your vet and have her checked out for a pregnancy. You can terminate the pregnancy if your veterinarian feels it is safe to do that.
