Trouble with birthing hamster?

I noticed my dwarf hamster was pregnant on Thursday. I have noticed all the typical signs of her being in labor since this afternoon at about 4pm but she still has not given birth. She seems to be in a lot of pain. Is there anything I can do to help her?
Answers:
Put a heating pad, on low, beneath her. It will help her muscles relax. Cover the pad with a towel.
you should bring her to the vet right away! you will risk losing her and the babies if you do nothing.
well she probley in labor , the labour process takes a while , but dont worry she'll be fine its very rare that she'll run into comlpications and really is nothing you can do but let her be in peace dont be bugging her trying to pick her up and stuff
My dwarf hamster had babies too - do not touch the babies and keep the male hamster out of the cage, as he mite try 2 eat the babies - serisly. try nd make her as comfortabl as possibl by clean water, plenty of food nd plenty of bedding. since u cant go 2 a vet try 2 get a priv8 fone numbr 4 1 - i did that once nd they r very decent about it. i suggest u dont touch her tho because u culd b doin her more harm than good.
