A c-section is not without problems. It sometimes takes the bitches up to 48 hours to start "mothering" after a c-section, and may even take a while for milk to come in. I would choose a natural delivery any day!
I would make sure that you have another vet on call, or at least an emergency clinic, in case a c-section would become necessary. Perhaps you can get your vet to draw you up a couple doses of oxytocin to have on hand, to be used if she takes longer than 2 hours between puppies (and one for the clean-out shot), as well as a prescription of antibiotics, in case she has a fever again.
