I would not worry unless she isn't acting normal or unless she is showing signs of distress or contractions. If there is signs of contractions or distress and puppies still aren't coming then you will want your vet to take a look at her. Your vet will be able to tell whether or not she needs a C-section or just some meds to help increased the contractility to help her have her pups. I hope this helps!
