Answer
Well if she is nervous I would worry about that more than her being dirty. The black diarrhea is normal from her licking all the blood up and the placentas. I wouldn't bathe her at this point since she is just newly whelped.
Once these puppies are weaned I hope you will be getting her spayed. She will be very grateful to you and so will the world with less puppies in it!
Wait a week before you bathe her so she can settle down with the pups.
If you must, take a warm wet rag and wipe her down but make sure you dry her off good.
