11 is about average, a first time gilt is less. Just watch her and be ready to help if a piglet needs it. I dry them off with towels if its cold and help them find a teat if needed. My wife said I make a good midwife. I do the same with my goats, I have even pulled a calf years ago.

Ok thanks for tip. I can't wait she has such a wonderful personality I hope she stays calm when babies are born.
This is our first time but this is going to be her third.
