Poor Mama cat! Hopefully she is doing ok. I'd recommend getting a vet visit for her in the near future to spay her, and consider doing an infectious disease bloodwork panel. I worry that having congenital abnormalities with the kittens might mean that she has an infectious disease. Also, if she is not current on vaccinations get those done so she is protected in the future from infectious disease.
