Its possible she doesnt want to leave for eliminate, not to leave the kittens alone in the litter. Being a very good momma.
She is perhaps worried by some potential danger??
Also, they usually empty the bowels before delivery, and some pee perhaps during the delivery....
Still, 72 hours is long...
How is it, does she trust you? Does she wants you near? If so, try to be her stand in; be with the kittens so she has time and peace of time to go and relieve herself...
Also, I presume the litter is nearby?
If you think she is constipated, you can add some coldpressed olive oil or rapeseed oil to her food... Cant hurt, as coldpressed olive or rapeseed oil is good nourishment by itself.

She trusts me, she often mews in agitation for my attention and calms down when I'm near. I'm feeding her plenty of soup along with solid. She is literally the boss now. She even calls out if she cant position the babies. But still she doesn’t come out. And the litter is near too. I kept it fresh. I'm worried because her temperature raised a bit.
I'll try the oil then,lets hope for the best. thank you.
