Ive had that happen many a times, it just happens complications is all, this of course before any babies are actually born, one probably turned sideways or something,

When they start to have complications the mother will have a rough fur coat and sit hunched. If you seperate her, keep her warm, and give her a bowl of warm water with lab chow in it, it should help her pass the pups. The pup will most likely be dead but at least she wont be.
