I'm glad you are helping her out. Eclampsia is very serious and you can lose the mother before you are able to get her to the vet. I've never had to deal with it, but have read where others have lost the mother so quickly.
Maybe you should just do the right thing and have that little girl spayed. She will always be too small to breed. No doubt this pregnancy has stopped her growth.
At least then you will know you did one thing right.
We all want what is best for the mom and babies. It is not going to be easy. The next few weeks are going to be critical for the mother. At 3 weeks is when the puppies start to grow rapidly and the demand for milk increases. Fortunately they are old enough at 3 weeks to start lapping up goats milk and baby rice cereal. So the demand on mom won't be so great.
