Will the hormones kick in?

Will a bitch with huge ball drive - who constantly frets about the ball and the door outside - chill out late pregnancy and start focusing more on her pregnancy and impending puppies?

TIA!

How exactly do you expect her to be acting? "Focus on the pregnancy and puppies" doesn't typically start until getting very close to delivery. A day or two before whelping they may be more stay at home and may start nesting, but hormones don't really kick in until stage 1 labor. Prior to that, they have a pretty normal energy level. They just chase the ball a bit slower and less coordinated than usual.
