You mean, if it is normal with some pauses in labor?  Yes, pretty normal.  If mom is contend, relaxed, no visible problem, it is just to wait and see on what happens next.  Of course being observant is wise.

So the kittens seems OK and mom too?  Excellent and congrats!

A good tip is to weigh them kitten every day, so you will have 1. a nice memory if everything goes just well.  2.  The best possiblility of forewarning, if antyhing goes not so well (typically if they dont gain as they should),   Also, weighting them you do have a quick look see, so this is another way to notice things.

Continue to report and ask!

Good luck!
