A nesting dog will likely be restless, and will begin arranging the area she hopes to deliver in, by moving blankets, shredding paper, etc.

A very common trait for noting signs of this happening is if the dog is digging at some article on the floor and circling around and around. It shows that the animal will shortly be ready to have her puppies and is therefor trying to make a comfortable place to have them.
