Bleach can cause irritation or ulcers in the mouth and stomach upset if ingested but if it is diluted there probably wouldn’t be much risk for harm. I would not be concerned about harming any unborn kittens. You should restrict her access to bleach water in the future and see a veterinarian if she begins drooling, has a decrease in appetite or vomiting.
