That doesn't sound like a normal birth process. You should definitely keep her in the nursery until she recovers, but it sounds like she either ruptured something, or the babies died inside her and must be expelled.
If you don't already, add salt (1 round tbsp / 5 gallons) to her water, disolved first in dechlor water. You could also add some stress-coat.
Provide lots of plants (real or silk) for cover.
If this her first batch of babies?

she may be having some problems it may be that it was a miscarriage (the babys died inside mother)
