    During the third week of gestation, the embryos will begin to implant into the uterus, where they will receive the vital nutrients and life support which the bitch's body provides during their time in the womb. The foetuses are under a centimetre long at this stage. Continue to feed and exercise normally, but begin to monitor your bitch for increas...
