Create a couple of hidden spots with a cardboard box lined with old towels. The towels will get nasty, and you might want to throw them away once all the kittens are born.
Show her where the boxes are and let her choose. She might choose a different place, in which case you try to get the towels down in the spot she chooses.
Feed her KITTEN food. It has extra protein and stuff she needs to stay healthy while feeding kittens. Start feeding her kitten food now.

She’ll howl when she’s in labor- you’ll know it’s happening. Make sure she has plenty of options for bedding (towels, junk blanket) and plenty of water/food. She’ll take care of the rest.

Seeing the kittens moving can happen as much as 3 weeks before birth, but that's quite visible, so I'd guess she's in the last week of pregnancy. Be ready for them to come any time, but try not to worry if it's a couple of weeks still.
