She won't harm the babies if she pulls at their fur to build a nest will she? Or if she gives birth again and they are also in the nest with her?

Please bare in mind that the babies (current litter and possible future litter) are not out of the woods yet, I don't want to scare you (but feel you need to be prepared for the worst) but if mum gets unsettled she "could" cull the babies at any stage if she feels threatened. Also due to the immense strain on her body she might not deliver live babies.
