Don't bother the kittens unless they are in distress, the mom will take care of them.
Some cats can not carry kittens to full term and they die also some cats will produce 1 stillborn litter after the other. Regadless of the birthing outcome it would be better for your cat to be spayed. The world is over run with cats and finding homes for a few litters a year is very hard. Also think of the wear and tear it will have on your cats body.

OK thank you what if she has them in a weird spot can I move them into a box and put them in a safer spot because I have two other cats a male and a female and two dogs!! And I don't want them to get hurt??

Put your cat in a room alone. She is going to try and protect her kittens and she will most likely fight the other animals if they approach them. Also some female cats will harm the kittens and I have been told that a male will chew off the kittens heads as a way of making sure the female comes into heat sooner.
Please consider spaying/neutering your animals there are many shelters, rescues and programs that offer low cost and coupons to help offset the cost. If the male is intact it a whole lot cheaper to get him neutered than the females if money is an issue. But for spraying and the other issues you should get them all spaye/neutered.

I think she is going to have them today because I just gor home from school and she is meowing at me and constantly like she does when she is in heat and she is very "clingy" so I put her in my room by herself where she has her food and litterbox so I will kepp a close eye on her.
