She sounds pregnant
Start making few nesting boxes, (cardboard boxes works great, as long it larger then her and can fit the kittens too) and place them varies places in the house so she can choose, anywhere is fine as long it calm and peaceful and won't have ton of foot traffic and the most important is that she feels safe in thst area. Get some milk replacer, it good to be prepared in case she don't produce milk or enough, our experts recommend KMR by PetAg, if you can't find milk replacer, you can use goat milk, raw goat milk is better. If you can't find milk replacer or goat milk, you can make your own, i will post a link telling you how to do that get few needleless syringes or small droppers too

The kmr made by petag in powder form is sold in big packs and it costly, but they do sell them premix in cheap bottles but our experts don't recommend the premix stuff as it not reliable so should not be the main choice

Right.  But you can anyway buy ONE bottle, to have just if, so you arent  defenceless in an emergency.  Later on you can get something better, if need be.   @mwallace056
