she might be going under your bed to search for a good place to give birth, they like to give birth in warm protected places. 

you need to get a box or a basket and put towels and old clothes and make it warm for her and place it in a corner or in a protected place, and introduce her to it. 
not sure how you can tell if she is soon to give birth or not, but usually when they are too huge, they will probably give birth soon. 

put food and water for her near the basket or box, because she wants to be comfy, and not move too much.

I agree with above.  Make her a nest, or even a couple of nests so she has something to choose from.

You dont want her to give birth under your bed, because you want to have an eye on them, if they need help or something.  You will also probably want to weigh them every day...

So make her a couple of nest, where she is comfy and may feel safe.  After it you block off the under bed.  Perhaps lay down the whole bed on floor?

When you begin to feel the kittens, its about two weeks left, so this is the measure you have to go.. Also, the last day or two she will probably "drop", and you wont feel the kittens move as clearly . But the exact hour isnt  easy to know, even experienced cat people has difficulties.

I add some links for you to look through.   Dont hesitate to come with follow up questions, and give reports!

Good luck!

Most of these links have been readied by our forumist  Red Top Rescue:

You've gotten some good advice.

Please have your cat spayed after she gives birth.  There are so many cats and kittens in the world that need homes already.

A.  Tip for finding cheap spaying places:

cheap  spaying:
If you are in the U.S. ,  the ASPCA has an online database.  http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/spayneuter

 Or here is a hotline number that will find you a low cost clinic in your area  1-800-248-7729   

www.spayusa.org

Also, I presume your local  SPCA / "Animal Friends" societies have now and then campaings for cheaper spaying? They do so in Sweden, I presume it may be so in USA too.

B.   The cost of raising a litter is really higher than for just spaying.  Especially if someone of them gots unwell, and you must go to the vets with this kitten.

C.  If it is so you want to fuss with small kittens, this being your Big Deal,  you can surely cooperate with some shelter nearby.   and be a foster home for high pregs mom and their kittens....   This is much cheaper for you, and you dont have the same responibility.

If your resident is loving kittens her too, you can even take in orphaned small kittens, and let your resident be the foster mom.

This is also a praiseworthy deed in the eyes of God.

Good luck!
