So happy to hear all is well. New babies!!!!

You mentioned a head was present for 30 mins. If you can see a body part either head or feet, you do have a good option. As the human OB you gently delivery the pup...a bit of KY jelly around the vulva and a dry cloth applied to the body part and pull down towards the body gently.
The big problem is when a bitch labors and there is no pup coming down the birth canal. If you actually see a puppy then you know it has passed through the pelvis and just needs some help ..if the contractions stop, I delivery the pup as fast as possible...that will as a rule stimulate contractions for the next pup..or a shot of oxy will as a rule be tried before a section..at least I perfer it to a section...when all else fails it is time to cut them out.
Nursing after a section has never been a problem for any of my bitches.
Best wishes for you new babies.
