Its at most 2 weeks left, perhaps just one.  They often take the nest first in last moments, they dont want it to become smelly nor flea infested too early...  Rub her tummy if she wants and allows!

Goats milk is useful instead of kmr. Raw goat milk is best, but bottled full fat is OK too.

Observe, if an orphan is much bloated, gas-filled, bloated, have colic, simethicone (google on it) may help.  1-2 drop in the bottle.

Fleece or flannel good to use in the bedding for kittens.

I think she looks very calm.

Did you get supplies for the kittens in case there is a need for them?

It's hard to say. She's got a big belly so she's definitely in the later stages though.
