Gestation is 63 to 65 days on average. Make sure she has a box where she can have her babies. Her nipples will likely leak milk within 12-24 hrs of giving birth. There is still time so do not panic yet. Cats are pretty good at having babies, even when it is her first time. Do not disturb her much, the more stressed she is (constantly checking is stress...) the more likely she will delay having her babies.
