Bitch with puppies sounds like something hung in throat
I have a bitch that is about to have puppies in two weeks. I take her for a walk each afternoon. After pulling me around the yard she will start to cough. She will stop and it sounds like something hung in her throat like a cat with a hair ball. Should I be concern 

It sounds like if she is pulling you around the yard that her throat is just irritated from her pulling too hard. I have seen this with dogs when taking them out of the box and into the woods. They have such desire to go hunt that they pull and then start sounding like a cat trying to cough up a hairball.
If it goes away shortly, I wouldn't be concerned at all. Maybe loosen the collar one notch because she has put on a little weight around the neck because she is pregnant...
