Yes, you can and mom should follow. Is the box a good size?

Put a towel on your floor in case mom doesn't go in the box right now.

If she is letting them feed she is done - for now.  You have to look and feel to see if you think there may be more.  The kittens are not always barn on the same day. 

Congratulations!  Post some pics when you get a chance.

Do you have KMR? A dish a day helps moms with calcium needs and after-birth panting. Most cats like it, so hopefully she will drink it. Leave her a bowl of water too. She needs to stop drinking from the fish tank!

Kittens look good!

Drinking from the fish tank is pretty dangerous! There are lots of chemicals in there.

Is it a fresh water or salt water tank? Either way it's probably best she not get her water there.

The panting is normal.

Are the poops solid or runny?

Is her litter box near to her nest?

How long has she been doing this? Is she exhibiting any signs of being sick or stressed?
