Temps

Her temps went down to 98.1 - probably the lowest it will go and now it is 98.9, It does a distinct drop then goes back up. What does that mean? Usually amd everything is usual 12 to 24 hours till pups. I am hoping today but it may be in the wee hours. I have dogs to groom tomorrow so we shall see. It is not something we control.
