It's hard to say without being able to actually examined Jenny but mucus and blood do come out when puppies are born. Pay close attention to her behavior and also take her temperature. Here is a link about normal birth: https://www.petcoach.co/article/whelping-giving-birth-in-dogs/ Here is a link about problematic birth (and when to have veterinary help): https://www.petcoach.co/article/dystocia-difficulty-giving-birth-in-dogs/ I hope this helps and I hope she has a smooth birth!
