Holy cow, that dog should have been spayed a LONG time ago.
I have absolutely no advice for idiocy.

If she is breathing regularly and is lying down and from your experience with her, you can tell if she is generally well, then I would make some water available to her. If your gut tells you after two hours that she is in trouble, then call friends and relatives and get someone to take you two to the vet. They'll want to help. I hope everything is okay.

Even though your vet is an hour away i would ring them and just ask them. since it is far away they might be able to get someone out to have a look at her. So ring the vet and she can tell you if it is normal or not. Alsoring your parents if possible and tell them what is happening in case they need to come home.

the first might die but labor could go on for another 5 to 6 hours so it should be fine!!! my dog had puppies and she was allot smaller like 60 pounds smaller than the papa!and after the first is born the rest should come out allot easier.

If there is an ASPCA or SPCA, in your city, call them and tell them what is happening and can they send someone to help you with the dog.
Call directory Assistance for the number of the ASPCA or SPCA.
Call your parents and tell them you want to call the SPCA to help with the dog. They need to know you want to call a professional.
Good luck to you and your dog.

You obviously knew she was pregnant, why didnt you prepare before the birth? This is totally stupid. Instead of being on here, look up some webpages on whelping a litter.
