? #MeiXiang gets some of her favorite treats for participating in ultrasounds. We’re still waiting to find out if she is pregnant, but she has entered what scientists call the “secondary hormone rise.” Her levels of urinary progesterone are slowly rising, which indicates that she should give birth or experience the final stages of a pseudopregnancy in about 30 to 50 days.

The only way to definitvely tell if a female is pregnant before she gives birth is to detect a developing fetus on an ultrasound.
