Answer
Hi Rabbecca

While she is pregnant, don't overfeed her - just give her the usual amount of food.  You don't want her unborn babies growing too large or this can cause complications for her.  Make sure she has plenty of bedding - if she normally makes her bed by shredding cardboard etc, make sure she's got enough so she can make a good nest.  Once the litter is born you can give her extra food - human baby food is great - the powdered variety is best as there's no wastage.  Mix a small amount with water and put on a dish for her.  Make sure there is plenty of food for her around the nest so she doesn't have to go far looking for it.  When the babies are large enough to leave the nest, they must be able to reach the water bottle - you might need to put a second bottle in the cage at a different height for them.  

Hope it all goes well.
