I wouldn't worry about it. Momma is not worrying & neither is her newborn.

If you, an experienced cat midwife feels something is wrong, do listen to your instincts.  Be sure you know where your vet is, and watch closely. Be ready to rush her in.

But otherwise, it seems as it shall.  Real model behavior straight to the handbooks.   And the main recipe for you is the same - either you KNOW there is more kittens, or if you dont know. (they ARE often swelled in vomb, and sometimes even they have gases in intestines so it may feel alike movements).   You watch the momma, if she is OK, none visible problems save some red colored discharge and an occasional after labor movement - you observe closely but can wait and see.

Sounding the alarm bells first when you DO notice problems.

Our members who do contact their vet, gets usually the same advice.

Of course, be sure you do have home some goats milk or kmr, and a needlless syring, so you arent defenceless if there comes any problems.

Prepare a heating pad and a scale too...
