Get her away from other dogs, or away from whatever she's sensing as a threat.

x2...she will get nervous around other dogs and swallow the pups...

Either the she felt threatened, of there was something wrong with the pups that she sensed. I'd try a dark secluded area and if not pull the pups and bottle feed em all you can do really.. Goodluck sorry to hear that
If u do bottle feed, goats milk works the best according to my vet

take the last 2 pups away from her and put them together when you can watch them to eat until they get a little bigger
