If she just started doing this then I would try to encourage her to go to her nesting spot and leave her alone. She may need more time. There is nothing else you can do for her to prevent her from meowing during the process. If she has been doing this for awhile, then I would consider taking her to your vet. Your vet will be able to determine if she is truly having difficulty delivering the kittens and whether or not see needs some medicine to help or if she needs a C-section. I hope this helps!
