My dog had puppies, but labor seems stalled. Are more puppies coming?

Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 3 months old

My female dog has 10 puppies yesterday and we think her labour stopped last night about 9oclock at night as it started at 8:30 in the morning. She is still nesting, panting and showing previous signs of labour still. We are wondering if there’s any chance of anymore due to come out

There is always a possibility, so I would take Sasha and her puppies into a vet immediately to get checked out. Should she have any puppies left, this long between giving birth is very serious and a medical emergency. Please take them into a vet now.
