    Call the vet,its impossible to tell online if she is in need of help,but if your asking,get her help.

    Hope all goes well.

    I agree with redhed, you need to contact a vet, and you really should have a breed mentor to assist you in delivery if you are breeding.
    We cannot possibly say whether your b*tch is in trouble without physically seeing her.
    12 hours is the max I would allow a b*tch to be in labor before I started to worry, they can last slightly longer without complications but if your girl doesn't look like she's ready to deliver any time soon she may need assistance or even a c-section.

    What would you do after 12 hours in labor? If the answer is "see a Doctor," then that would be my best advice to you.
