She should have had her pups within 24 hours of her temperature dropping. She may have primary inertia. CALL YOUR VET.

If she stopped eating yesterday then it should start soon. My Schnauzer didn't nest she just started arching up and the next thing I knew 8 hours later I had 3 boys and 3 girls. Just make sure she doesn't seem like she is strugling and if she is get he to the vet otherwise just love her and talk to her. Don't crowd her though and keep people away from her.

If she's calm and in no distress, I'd give her a day. She knows where her whelping box is? Just watch her. If she's a breed known for uterine inertia (like bassets) or a breed with whelping problems, call your vet. Otherwise, relax a bit. You might feel better if you call your vet and confirm. But it would be less stressful for her to stay at home.

A call to the vet will ease your anxiety but I think things are ok. As with humans things don't always go by the book on birth.
