My Guppy just had a bad brith... will she die?

hello I'm new at this I'm first time mum to 2 female guppies and one of them gave birth today but only 2 of her babies come out alive she has given birth before when i first got her but this time its not the same and shes not swimming right now, can some tell me if she will die? (oh and some of the babies come out not even formed)

guppy

i once had a guppy named tina. she gave birth only 2 days after we got her. she had about 20 babys but afterwards she was dieing. i kept saying that she will live and that she must live for her fry even though i knew she wouldn't hear me. it worked but the next time 3 months later i wasn't there because it was midnight. she died but had two frys. her best friend ranbow and her mate flame did all they could to help. rainbow or flame would attack any males that came near her. but the next day after tina died flame did too then five days later rainbow died.
