If you carry her everywhere, she will think she's absolutely correct to be scared. Tether her to you with a leash, and go on about your business. Don't hold, pet, and do a lot of "That's ok, mommy's/daddy's here."

Reward any attempts at confidence.

First, Welcome to the forum.

Your pup is going to take some time to adjust to her new surroundings, a minimum of a month to adjust to her new environment.

Take it slow with her and let her adjust to you. Don't force her to do anything she does not want to do. Because all you are doing is making the fearfulness more prominant by making her come out from under the bed or carrying her around. Offer her treats and lots of it.

Have you thought about clicker training her? [linkhttp://www.clickersolutions.com]www.clickersolutions.com[/link] or [linkhttp://www.clickertraining.com]www.clickertraining.com[/link]

Good luck and the price to pay for being on the forum is a picture of your baby. We love puppy pictures!
