Second scan

I know I said I was going to wait it out but I couldn't help it, plus I was keen to try a smaller, closer vets as thinking of switching to them instead of using Braids.  They re-iterated the warning that exact numbers are very hard to see with an ultrasound but this time I was able to look at the scans with the vet and he showed me at least 4 distinct puppies.  It's not very clear especially as jess was panting like a steam train moving everything around inside but you got glimpses of spines and heads :)  Vet confirmed timings, that Jess is nearly 7 weeks pregnant - 2 weeks to go !  They like to see both Mum and the pups the day after to make sure everyone is doing ok and offered plenty of advice at a leisurely pace rather than Braids where the whole thing seemed very rushed.  Plus, while Braids scan cost £80, this one only cost £36 !
