Please take it easy, she will pick up on your stress. I am sure she should know what to do, please have a safe area for her and nesting bed or box for her to have the kittens, a large cardboard box lined with fleece or old tshirts will work nicely. Please don't use towels, the little claws will stick. Do not overly check, obsess over her as it will stress her and may cause her to hold off on delivering them. It helps to keep the room dark too. checking in once or twice an hour should be fine. Please keep us posted on them.
Good luck, and please report!

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.
