Be quiet and close to her. Be with her, speak to her very
gently. Offer her a hutch and cover 1/2 of the pen or cage with a
towel. She'll do it of her own and will most probably be finished with
her labour after one hour.

Don't touch her if possible. If she doesn't get ready after ~2 hours
after the first baby is visible call a vet or maybe better an
experienced breeder.

But most probably it will be just fine -- what a wonderful new years
day will that be !

It's better to wheek for food without being hungry
than not to wheek at all.
