I am not a vet, but I have heard that sometimes placentas in close proximity with another placenta may fuse into one . This would explain the separate sacks. In your case, with so many puppies packed into the uterus, it could be likely that some of the placentas did fuse.
Were there actually 15-20 puppies?
Read up above.Here ya go:

Well, I took her to emergency because she seemed in distress. They refused to do the c-section. She whelped 5 puppies in distress and was some time in between. The Vet wanted me to wait. She was not doing well and a dead pup was born so I got her to the Vet for emergency. We ended up with elven live pups and a torn uterus and a spay.

We lost a premie today. He was one of two that I am/was bottle feeding. They were half the size of the other pups.
She has ten left and lost six puppies. She and the babies are doing really well for being five days early. The Vet gave me some medicine that she calls Geritol for the old dogs to help build her up from the loss of blood. She does't like it but I can see a marked improvement.
What happened was triplets. Two were born and I had to cut the cords which I am sure killed the third and it was downhill from there.
Who would have known this would happen. Thank you for all of your advice.
