Default Second stage...how long does this last?

You would think this was my first litter...it is not....second one and I am just having that "second guess". Cali started digging and scratching around 3:30 am and then having some very effective contractions around 5 am. She has been having contractions every 5 minutes or so. She will absolutely not stay in her whelping box. Instead she snuggles with me and then with every contraction she gets up and paces. She has voided on the chuck a few times. She does not appear to be in distress. At what point should I be concerned that this type of work is going too long? There has not been any signs of pushing or presentation of pups.
