Answer
Hi Teresa

A whelping box or area where she can raise her pups comfortably and quietly is what she needs.  Line it with old towels, sheets or newspaper for her to nest in.

The waiting is always the hardest but short walks around the yard will help get things moving and positioned (remember to bring a towel in case she births one outside).  

As long as she not straining, panting and pushing with no result, just sit back and let Mother Nature do her thing.

Good luck
