That's pretty much all that's going on in my head. I'm too worried about 3 litters to sit down and actually do the math and look at it rationally.

How long before they pop do they "plateau"? Does anyone really LOOK pregnant at this point?

Raye has a pudge, but she's still a baby herself so it could be baby fat. Amy doesn't have much of a belly, beyond just good food belly. Serena is starting to get a bit round, but it's not down low like I'd expect, it's up a bit higher. :panic:

Raye - 230 (+10)

Can they not make this easier on me? Now Amy is having a huge jump? What the heck?

*buries head in the sand*
 
I think Serena is definitely pregnant, it's been constant weight gain for her. I didn't think Amy was pregnant but now this 15 gram weight jump? What the heck? And Raye... is she pregnant or just growing, since she's still just a baby herself? I have no clue! GAH!

The problem is, they can be anywhere from just about to give birth, to only a week and a bit pregnant (I got them a week and a bit ago, and separated the male then).

So for all I know Amy is only a week and a half along, and is just starting to gain weight now.

Amy's jump isn't as big as Raye's - I'm just hoping that for Raye it's one of those juvenile growth spurts... And of course just really hoping that they were all starving and want to be stupidly fat...
 
Joanne, I like your idea that you posted a few days ago about just checking back in a couple weeks... that's what I feel like doing, haha!

Raye - 240 (+10) - Raye has a definitely preggo belly. Efffffff. And WHAT is going on with Amy?

Wouldn't 320-330 make Serena +10g?
 
OK back to my calcs...bad news is you have 2 preggy ladies...good news is that Raye is young so hopefully will have a teeny litter?

Amy has only gained 15 grams in 10 days...

Serena has gained 55 grams

Raye has caught up and has also gained 55 grams

Now with these 2 you need to watch for consistent weight gain of over 10 grams a night as they get closer to the birthing day.
 
And it begins...

I picked up Raye to check on her and she has a tiny bit of blood from her vagina, and she's ballooned up. She's now in a maternity cage being anxiously watched by Amanda and I.
 
Okay so I'm getting really frustrated. I think she was just spotting/false labor. She's now asleep in the corner. *sighs* Why can't ANYTHING be easy for these girls?
