I agree with jo...
But it also could have been the male that did it too. When a female is giving birth, she is in heat. The males desire to mate at this time is unbeliveably strong. Often time the female tries to fight him off, but he overpowers her and does his thing. It can be quite violent when she puts up a fight (bites, scratches, cuts) and can go on for HOURS. They urge to mate is so strong that they will often grab whatever female is closest to them... even the ones that aren't in heat... and usually the ones that are not in heat FIGHT when he tries.
Side note, you mentioned you were scared the babies will get hurt... i would'nt worry about that. when she is runing in circles to get away from him it is common for the babies to get stepped / jumped on. Although it looks horrible, I have never noticed a baby getting injured as result.
They should settle down some after a few litters.
