Just leave them alone, read to suggestions in the other post about hampster babies. Carefully put toilet paper or some other type of bedding material in the cage so she can keep them warm. Otherwise leave her alone and expect there probably will be some that die just because there are so many. I had a mouse once who had 11 babies and if it wasn't for her mom being pregnant and helping her nurse them they all probably wouldn't have survived. Just keep quiet around the room she is in and don't mess with her.
