Answer
Becky,

They normally do not give birth until day 63 but it can be sooner or up to 10 days later. If she goes more then 4 days past the 63 day mark I would suggest that you take her to the vet and have them try to induce labor. If that does not happen at that point I am assuming that your vet will advise you that a c-section is necessary.
