I would start taking Gypsie's temperature twice daily rectally. A dog's normal temperature is between 101-102.5F. Once it drops below 100F, she should have her puppies within 24 hours. When you see that temperature drop, I would stay at home with her to observe her and know if there are any problems occurring. Usually the dog doesn't need any help, but I will put a link to an article below with things to look out for during labor and when to seek veterinary help. I hope this helps! https://www.2ndchance.info/caninelaborstages.htm
