Mother Nature generally kicks in and they seek to know what to do.it is best to keep her in a comfortable, quiet place to allow her privacy to deliver. Check on her about every 30 minutes to an hour. If you notice a black or brown discharge or there is no progression after 30 minutes of heavy contractions and pushing then get her to a vet
