really thanks!!
other point is that the little spiders birth when the mother was still inside
I could see them but not spot them!

..she's probably finishing -off her web. I once saw a spider weave her web from inside moving her rear end from side to side, layering sheets of silk. Gradually the egg case became denser and more opaque. The adult spider then emerged from a small opening on one side.
Maybe someone can confirm this...
