You need to prepare an area for her to whelp where she can have peace and quiet. This is not a time to invite friends and family over. Your biggest asset will be a mum who's comfortable with her whelping area. She needs to feel safe. Hopefully you have a kitchen or bathroom nearby. Please prepare her whelping box and heating pad in plenty of time so that you can lay a thermometer in it over a period of several hours and get it adjusted. Once you know what setting to use, you can unplug it. Just do a test run. Keeping the pups warm enough is so important for the first three days that I buy a spare heating pad and test it as well.
There are quite a few breeders on this list who have a lot of puppies and are quite experienced. You're in good care. Having the vet alerted and ready is also vitally important.
Stay calm. If you can get your hands on a stethoscope, it's really fun to listen to the heartbeats. You should be able to hear at least some now.
I'm excited for you. We'll be anxious to hear how it goes.
