I searched on this topic and only saw one post on it. I'm curious if there's anything special that you all do or don't do when feeding raw to a pregnant female?
I've read to cut back or even eliminate fish oils while she's pregnant and that's all I've heard. Should you give greater portions of food in general (RMB’s, veggie’s, fruits)?

The quantity (of high-quality food, of course) is increased later in the pregnancy; this is a long-ish breakdown, so I'll PM you one from VetInfo4Dogs.
I believe that supplementing with folic acid is a very good idea during pregnancy. Your own vet, of course, should help you decide that.
And yes, fish oil, vitamin A, and a couple of other supplements given in inappropriate dosages during pregnancy seem to be related to puppies born with cleft palate; you can Google this, but here's one site: http://www.provet.co.uk/petfacts/healthtips/cleftpalatepf.htm
