Someone please tell me......

How do you tell if your puppy is pregnant? She can't be but she might be. I am so flabergasted right now. With my luck she is. Someone help me. What to do - what to do??

Honestly, you can't tell until she's very close to delivering.
A vet can take xrays(I dont think any around here do ultrasound)but again, pups would not show up until they are close to delivery.

Its time to get a book on breeding.

There is no way to keep a dog in heat from getting preggo unless she's NEVER left alone. Not even for a second. Dogs will get to her through a fence...no lie. Even screens!
Another scary thing is if she is pregnant, shes very young and could have a lot of pups and will not be able to deliver them. A doggie c-section can cost $1000 easy.

I would plan an getting her to the vet in a couple of weeks and see what they say. If you keep open communication with them, they will be more willing to help you.

Do you think she was already pregnant when you got her, or that she just got that way since moving in with you?

One other thing that no ever talks about...you can take her in to get fixed NOW. People do this all the time. Its a lot cheaper than some of the alternatives and will make you life much easier.

good luck hon!
