she might just have been tired from getting those 3 out and is just resting while they feed. leave her be for a while, if she's going to have more she will. if she's not, she will eventually start eating and moving around a little more.

Toy dogs generally produce from one to four puppies in each litter, while much larger breeds may average as many as 12 pups in each litter.

My dogs often surprise me.. I give up and fall asleep, and when I wake up there are one or two more puppies!! So, there is no reliable way to know when she is finished, unless she has just been ultrasounded to learn how many to expect..They are nomally finished if it has been 12 hours since the first one... but I have seen it be as much as 24 hours.
Congratulations!! Gramma

Leave her alone until morning, do not persuade her to move. Make sure that she's got food and water for herself. Put lots of newspapers near the door in case she has to "go"
It will take more than just two hours to be certain.
Congratulations!

I do believe she might have one or two more. From experience I suggest not trying to move her and her puppies until tonight. She chose the spot to give birth because of the temperature and changing that environment too soon will irritate her

Just let her be. She will let you know if she wants to move. You may get a couple more.

I bet you there is going to be more. Is she eating? If she is probably not.
