Start feeding her a high quality puppy food, without soy as it is a calcium depleter. Feed her 3 meals a day for now and increase to 4 or 5 when pups arrive.
Breeder friendly vets are of course difficult to find....but, get her in to a vet for an examination and x-ray.
Also, the best thing I can recommend is contacting a local kennel club's secretary.....explain that you are in need of assistance in contacting a toy dog breeder to obtain information/assistance from.
In the meantime start gathering supplies.
Basics. An area where that is quiet, away normal household traffic.
The room should be draft free and warm. A whelping box, bedding and enough for several changes. Pee pads. Alcohol, blunt scissors, a digital thermometer, ky jelly, dental floss, hand towels for rubbing down pups, a baby nasal aspirator for clearing out the mouth and nostrils of pups.
A heating pad or lamp with a hundred watt bulb.
