My cat is having kittens in the litter box. Should I move her now?

Came home and my cat is giving birth in of all places the cat litter. Luckily we had just changed it but not sure if we should move her, or the best way to go about this. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed | 10 lbs

I probably would go ahead and move her and the kittens when she is taking a break in between kittens. Hopefully you have another box with some clean bedding - just put her in the box with the kittens and remove the litter box until she's done. While you want to give her some space you should be monitoring her to make sure there are no issues with the birthing process.
