Answer
Amy,

If you know when she was bred, you can count the days.  Normal cat gestation is 65-67 days with 63 days being the normal minimum and 69 days being the normal maximum.

Anywhere from a week before birth up until the kittens are ready to be born her milk can come in and she may have a bloody/mucous discharge.

Anywhere from a few days before birth up until the kittens are ready to be born, she may exhibit nesting behavior and go in and out of the litter pan frequently.  The kittens may form hard knots and begin to move backwards and downwards in the abdomen towards the birth canal.

A few hours before birth up until right before birth, her water should break.

You will just have to be vigilant and monitor her condition.

Please feel free to have follow up questions and let me know how it goes.

Best regards... Norm.
