We assisted a hatching after 40+hours in egg without unzipping. Was actually very easy, once we moistened the membrane she popped out. Since then she's been on her back, struggling and breathing heavy. Tried turning her over once when temps were a little high & humidity over 80 so felt it wouldn't shock her. She flipped back over after trying to stand. We are looking for any advice on how to help her rest more comfortably. Any ideas welcome. Will try to post pic.
 
Just let her be in the incubator and see what happens. Messing with her will just stress her and make her more likely to die. I had to assist one earlier tonight also. She had been lying there barely moving for several hours but when I checked a bit ago she sat up when she heard me. We will see if she makes it through the night and go from there. These two pics are about 5 hours apart

We looked online after posting, saw a few folks placed hatching in a sm cup with paper towels to hold, are trying that. Could not get a pic of how bad she was looking before. We are keeping the room quite & checking in hourly for now she's still peeping.
Thanks for all the support, we are just so new to hatching.
