There is lots of information out there on litters & wot to do, but 1st thing is congratulations, 2nd thing, try to relax. Don't stress your poor dog out even more, you got to speak low & be gentle, if she is laying on the little buggers (which happens all the time in all litters) just make sure that your not freaking out, but slowly guide her out of the way. Your dog will pick up on it over the next few day & be a real expert at it all soon, & your not going to be able to keep your eyes open 24/7.
3rd & the worst, you may loose 1 (or more), you have to accept that to, its just nature, like babies some pups are born with certain condition which you have no control over, just got to make sure your dog is your priority here (pups come 2nd) Her priority is the pups, just let her get on with it.
Post some pics soon

Nearly forgot, your pups will work out the feeding issue, but there are formulas out there that you can get & not all have to be fed via a bottle, Don't confine your dog if you can help it either, they need to be able to pee etc.
Contact your vet or a breeder in your area & pick their brains, breeders are happy to help with info.

Dogs have been having puppies for thousands of years...let nature and instinctstaketheir course. Trust me, your girl will know what to do, just make sure she has all the food and water she needs, nursing all of those puppies will make her need more than usual. Oh, and now is a good time to start puppy-proofing the house and stocking up on old newspaper.
And like was said before, you probably will lose one or two, it'sjust nature. It sucks, but it happens.

On track with the others, but also with a suggestion. take a quick look online for how to do (here's the kicker) puppy CPR. When my golden had puppies when I was a baby, she fell asleep on one. my dad caught it but not before it was too late. but he picked it up and for some reason knew how to do it, and brought it back to life.

having bad things happen is inevitable, being prepared with how to fix it is not. Learn it.
