She may do this for a few hours. You will know she is really pushing when her tail is all the way to one side as in "make way for the babies". Its a really good indicator once she starts labor that the next baby is on its way. Good Luck and keep us posted!

Any discharge from her vulva? Also from my observation my sow would lay down, do a few little pushes and then get up rearrange her nest and then lay down again. Then she layed down for about an hour got real quiet and then started pushing hard, first baby arrived around 15-20 minutes after this happened. You will know when she is really pushing, trust me.

Do you have all of your birthing supplies ready?

ok. Just keep an eye on it and if she is really straining with no progress she may need help. Do you have the vet on call just in case?

@misfitmorgan raises PB so hopefully she can be more specific.
