do you know whats causing it or what i should do about it?

Answer
Hi Ann.  16 hours is a long time.  I'm wondering if she is urinating someplace without you knowing it??  Sometimes, otherwise perfectly housebroken dogs, will start urinating in the house when they are pregnant.

Keep an eye on her and watch for other symptoms such as:  vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite etc.  If you are certain that she is not urinating, and you see any other symptoms, then I suggest that you contact your veterinarian.

Good luck and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have additional questions.

Sincerely,
