The Vet will be able to check her up and tell you if she is OK. Sadly there is not much else you can do but ensure she has plenty of rest, a good diet, good fluid intake and when she goes in whelp, then you have to be there with her, reassure her and make sure all goes well.
You do not say where you are. Should you be in the UK and should worry about Vets fees, PDSA would cover Vet fees if you can show you are on a low income. The Vet surgery can help you there.
Best wishes

There are a lot of questions to be answered here.
Why do you think she is pregnant/is it confirmed?
How far gone is she?
Do you want the puppies?
Pregnancies can be terminated at your vets either by injection or by spaying/neutering your dog - it depends if you want another litter in the future and also how far gone she is (one injection can be given up to 45 days).
If you want to keep the puppies it is vital that you feed her correctly and prepare for the big day, I would advise you contact your vet for appropriate advice on each. It is likely the nurses can talk you through it all for free, and depedning on the facilities at your vets, you may be able to have an ultrasound so attempt to count how many puppies before they are born.
Most births go smoothly, but do be prepared for complications which may include a caesarian section - this will be expensive if it happens in the middle of night, so prepare financially as well as physicially/mentally.
And finally - having puppies isn't all joy and cuteness, there can be complications afterwards so thats worth reading up on too, in case you have to be a foster mother.

Depending on how far along she is, it is possible to abort the pregnancy, if don't want the litter. Or you could speak with your dog's vet and talk about how you should care for your dog for the next 9 weeks of her gestation period and she and the puppies for the following 6-8 weeks.

Work out when the puppies are due and ensure she has a clean bed to deliver them, fresh water and a towel in case you have to dry them off if it's her first pups. The puppies will not be dirty for a while as Mum will clean them but after three weeks you will have to clean the pooh out, It's demanding job but worthwhile. Just remember not to keep too many. They grow up!!However if you don't want pups consult your vet asap and they will sort it. It's not a hard thing to go through. But your lady dog might be emotional upset for a while.

Ok I am assuming it happened accidently which means mixed breed puppies. The first thing to do is take her to the vet to find out for sure. They will give you plenty of advice, when the pups are born and get cute after a few weeks I would take lots of gorgeous photos of them, stick them up in shops, vets, anywhere u can (drop them in doors) to try to get homes, if all else fails there are animal shelters but hopefully u will get them homes. Good luck!

get ready to have your home invaded for 8 weeks all you can do now is feed her well and just treat her as normal and afterwards lots and lots of attention you may even be able to make some money on them and put it towards having your dog spayed and avoid the situation again but good luck with your puppies and enjoy them while you have the chance

I don't think you can give a dog an abortion. If you don't want or can't take care of the puppies just surrender them to your local animal shelter. Puppies always get adopted so no worries. You have to keep them until they are old enough to be weaned though.

Nothing except love it and take care of her as you've been doping.
Go online and visit a site for these things. Find out the average gestation period for her breed, what to do when the time arrives, or is close to arriving, and let people know pups are on the way!!

You can either go to the vet and get her checked out and see if she will have healthy babies...or you could put the little ones down- (abortion) but I would HIGHLY NOT SUGGEST DOING THAT!!
I would say go to the vet- see what they say and go from there.
Do you know how she got pregnant? Who is the father? They MIGHT ask questions like that. Know as much as possible- it will help!
