I raise Chihuahuas and some of mine are the same way. Sometimes they go 3 or 4 days without going. They just do not want to leave their babies. She is okay and will go when she really needs to go.

Give her a small dose of stool softener. Not LAXITIVES as this could actually hurt her. But a child's dose of stool softener won't hurt her at all and might help.
After birth, even with humans, it's really hard to have a bowel movement, not to mention the fact that she's probably a little dehydrated. After giving birth, the intestines are all out of whack and need a little help.
I had a terrible time after I gave birth just to one child...imagine what your dog has gone through having a litter?

Take her out on lead then! She has to potty, it is not good for dogs to hold it for so long. This is common, she doesn't want to leave her babies.
If you are afraid of carrying her, WHY did you breed her with such a poor temperment?

It won't kill her if she's holding it. Feed her if she's hungry, and call a vet. !!! Don't rely on yahoo instead of your vet.
