Hi my dog is pregnant and its her 1st litter and she has started digging in my back garden is this a sign that she will labour soon as she is due on sunday

This is called nesting and this is common for them to do this even weeks before labor. Watch her closely. Do you have a whelping box for her, or a place-out of the way- to have her puppies. She may choose her own,despite what you have for her anyway.
