I think you should be a bit worried and get her to your vet for an exam. At 10 years old she is a bit old to be whelping; 8 years of age is the max that we would recommend breeding a dog. Just because she goes in to heat does not mean it is a good idea to breed her. As their age increases, the chance of problems increases (just like in people). I strongly recommend you get her examined by your vet as soon as possible.
