Um, yeah actually you did. You explained your situation and asked questions. Ergo, you got answers. Comes with the territory.

The general rule of thumb for Yorkies is not to breed a female under 5 lbs. Even then you have to take a lot into consideration before it can be deemed "safe"--like pelvic structure and if she comes from a line of free whelpers AND most importantly, how informed you are on the breeding process overall. No offense, but you should have really researched and prepared for this prior to her having this litter. Chances are, you would have known what to do and would have been prepared to handled the difficulties you encountered.
For the record, the male being the same size has NOTHING to do with whether or not she needed a c-section. The size and genetics of the breeding pair alone mean little. You have to factor in the traits and sizes of the OTHER dogs in their lines as well.
In any event, it's all a moot point. Your female, being considerably under 5 lbs, is too small to safely breed. It would be in HER best interest to have her spayed and prevent any further "accidents." Please take the time to research here on YT and elsewhere what you need to do from this point. Just because the pups are here now does not mean you are out of the woods. The next few weeks will be critical for the survival of the pup AND your girl and there is still a lot you need to do for them in order to ensure their health.
