In a 4lb dog, a 1 pound gain is a 25% weight gain, not a handful of ounces at all. Even at 8 ounces or 12.25% weight gain is a large weight gain for this size of dog.
But you already have a measurement at least one of her fitness for breeding, that being the measurement of her pelvic opening that you told us your specialist did. She had too narrow an opening for those pups. The question you should be asking is, a) given a C section "if" I should want to breed this 4lb female, what are the risks with a natural whelp, or if I have to do a C section again because I had one the first time, what are the risks associated with 2 C sections. b) given her pelvic measurements if given her history of a C section a free whelp is recommended, will her pelvic measurements alone preclude her from free whelping?
You have not done any health tests on either of your dogs, so I do sincerely hope you investigate things a whole lot better and of course make full disclosure for your puppy purchasers of this litter.
