Why shouldn't you. It won't hurt her. Just make sure she don't fall or anything. She should be fine. No worries.

Dear Dog Owner,
Oh, puppies on the way! Bathing dogs is very hard when they're hyperactive...trust me, I've gotten soaked several times washing the neighbor's puppy. However, you can give her a bath when she's pregnant. Make sure the water is warm, but not scalding hot. Make it about the tempurature of a cat's body. Use a very gentle shampoo made for dogs, and don't get any in her eyes...she won't like that. Since she is a German shepherd and is a larger breed, bathe her outside in a kiddie pool. If you must, you can spray her with a hose on the gentle spray. The settings on a hose 'head' are usually five or so, and I use the very gentle spray. Good luck with the bath...and the delivery. Tell the dog I said "Hello."
Good luck,
Osiris

Okay, it's okay to bath your dog. It won't hurt her. A woman still takes a bath when she's pregnant, right? So I don't think it will hurt your dog. Just don't you know, rough around with her because that might hurt her.

It's all right to bathe her, so long as you're very gentle, of course. Get some water that's warm, but not hot, at least two buckets full, and just pour it gently over her back on the driveway or somewhere. Then use a light shampoo on her fur and wash her like you'd wash your own hair. It usually helps to have a couple people do this together so you can hold her.
Once she's all soapy and smelling girly, get another bucket and rinse her off. Make sure you've got all the soap off. Dry her with a towel and she will smell nice and feel better as well.
