how do I tell if my hamster is having babies?

Question
My hamster is lying in a cage panting with her eyes closed. I was wondering if that means she is having her babies or if shes sick. Because it has been 6 hours since she has started panting.

Answer
Hi Krissy!After research,do NOT do in the earlier note I sent.I apologize if this late in getting back top you, and that your Hamster was indeed in labor, and not ill. If you have any additional questions or concerns please feel free to get back to me. I will try and get back to you sooner.
