Typically dogs do not need help during labor unless there are very specific situations. I will put a link to a website below that details out those situations to look for and contact a vet immediately if they occur. You can speak to your vet to ask if they want you to bring Samantha in while she is in labor, and they can let you know when they want you to bring her in. http://www.veazievet.com/signature-services/breeding/when-to-call-a-vet-during-labor-delivery/
