Yes indeed this is in appearance a true false pregnancy! I have seen
little gals get fully pregnant in appearance yet yield no litter. How
close is she to cycling out? Has she started to shed her coat yet? That
happens approx 10-14 days prior to birth date. I would not stress on the
weight alone if the appetite is good , stools good etc. She will just cycle
through.
