Oh not another back yard breeder putting their dog's life at risk because you don't know what you're doing.
If there is one breed we don't need any more of it's the Pit Bull. I like Pit Bulls, have never met a nasty one...but the shelters are full of them and most are killed on euthanasia day....every week. The following week there is another influx of unwanted Pit Bulls who suffer the same fate.
A bit*ch's gestation period is 63 days +/- a day or so. Do you ever know what day your dog was mated or even what breed the sire was? Have you taken her to the vet for pre natal care?
Your vet will give you instruction on how to care for the puppies so I suggest you get along there with your dog and have her examined and xrayed if you want to know how many pups to expect.

When she breaks water and starts bitching to the male pit-bull. Not really, just when she is really puffed up. Keep 'em close to their mother for the first 5-6 weeks, keep touching at a minimal. Let nature run its course.

The average canine pregnancy lasts approximately 64 to 66 days.
During the last 3 to 4 weeks of pregnancy, rapid weight gain and mammary gland development typically occurs. This is the point in pregnancy when the puppies begin to rapidly develop and the expectant mother will need additonal calories to help the pups during this growth phase. By the end of pregnancy, your *****'s weight may increase by 15 to 25 percent. Slowly begin changing her diet from maintenance to pregnancy or puppy food during the last trimester.Another concern during the later stages of pregnancy is that the expectant mother's stomach cannot hold much food. All the space is being taken up by growing babies. Feed your dog several small meals throughout the day to provide adequate nutrition.
Labor consists of three different stages.
Stage I begins with the first contractions of the uterus and ends when the cervix is completely open and ready for puppies to pass out through the birth canal. Owners cannot usually see the contractions, but your dog may exhibit panting, restlessness, vomiting, anorexia (loss of appetite) and nesting behavior. Stage I may last from 6 to 24 hours. It's best to keep the environment quiet for your dog so as not to further excite her. Little else can be done for these completely natural events of whelping.
Stages II and III alternate with one another: Stage II ends with the delivery of a pup, whereas Stage III ends with the expulsion of the placenta. It may take between 15 minutes and 4 hours between the deliveries of one pup and his placenta and the next. You shouldn't be concerned unless pups have not passed for longer than 4 hours or if your dog has been actively straining to deliver a pup longer than 30 minutes with no success. Contact your veterinarian or your local emergency hospital immediately should this occur.
Newborn Puppy Care
Assuming that the new mother has cleaned her pup of his placental membranes, the pup should be clean and dry within minutes of delivery. Always check for a normal breathing pattern and call your veterinarian immediately if there seems to be a problem. If the mother is not cleaning her pups, free them of their membranes immediately and call your veterinarian.
The environment that a newborn puppy is to be reared in should be set up well in advance of whelping. A whelping box should be placed in an area of the house that allows your dog and her puppies much privacy. The box should have walls tall enough to allow the mother – but not puppies less than 4 weeks of age – to exit. It should be made of a material that can be easily cleaned. Non-vertical sides (sides that slant outward) are often recommended so pups don't hurt themselves or one another as they try to climb the walls of their enclosure.
A heat source should be present since newborn puppies cannot regulate their body temperature very well. Environmental temperature should remain around 86 to 90 F during the first week of the puppy's life and gradually fall to 75 F over the next 3 weeks. The ideal humidity in the whelping box should be 55 to 60 percent. Drafts must be avoided.
Very soon after birth, puppies should begin suckling from the mother. Newborns have very low reserves of energy, so they must obtain fresh reserves from the milk. In addition, since very few antibodies come from the mother through the placenta (blood) before whelping, puppies must get infection-protecting antibodies from their mother's first milk. However, if puppies don't ingest the milk within 12 to 16 hours after birth, very few antibodies will be absorbed and the puppy will be susceptible to infections until he can produce his own antibodies after 4 weeks of age.

Keep in mind that there are about 20,000 pit bulls and other Bully breeds on PetFinder at this very moment. Most of them will die because there are not enough homes that want them. Please consider an emergency spay for the health of the mother because there are too many pit bulls needing homes now.

Pit bulls are the most overpopulated dog breed in this country. I wish you would have been more careful and not allowed her to mate. It's generally very difficult to find homes for them, and don't think you'll make money, bc they are everywhere.
Dogs have been raising their puppies for millions of years. She'll know what to do.

There are entire books on the subject, which means there is too much to type here. Track down your mentor or the vet that did the OFA certifications or (gasp!) do a little reading yourself.

It could be from 2 weeks to 9 months. You tell when the water breaks. You need to check with a vet.
