Feed her a nutrition dense premium dog food. Don't allow her to jump from furniture... Canine Prenatal vitamins are very helpful for a safe delivery. Here is a great site to help you to help her and the puppies> http://www.thepetcenter.com/gen/whelping.html
I recommend having a nursing bottle, and puppy formula on hand, well before expected date, as you don't have time to get it when you need it..(I used to breed Chihuahuas)

This breed requires expert veterinary attention in areas such as birthing and dental care. Chihuahuas are also prone to some genetic anomalies, often neurological ones, such as epilepsy and seizure disorders.
Chihuahuas, and other toy breeds, are also prone to the sometimes painful condition known as patella luxation.
Another genetic abnormality in Chihuahuas and toy breeds is hydrocephalus, or water on the brain. This condition surfaces in young puppies and often results in the death of a puppy by the time that it reaches six months of age. It is thought that this disease is often diagnosed by the pup having an abnormally large head during the first several months of life, but other symptoms are more noticeable (since "a large head" is such a broad description)
