This is not unusual. Most cats who breathe heavily while nursing need extra calcium. This can be immediately provided by giving mom a couple of dishes a day of kitten formula. It stops some heavy breathing almost immediately, but continue giving it daily until the kittens wean.
Nursing is hard work and takes a toll on mom’s body, so she needs extra calcium. You can also offer plain, full fat yogurt, cheese, or finely crush an egg shell and sprinkle it into her wet food.
Otherwise, she sounds fine. Try the formula and let us know if it helps!
