Your mother cat will be pretty exhausted by the effort. Give her some milk or water and something to eat. If your cat trusts you very well, she will let you touch the kittens, but otherwise she may hiss or hurt you if you try and touch the kittens. The kittens will be OK with the mothers milk but by 3 weeks give it kitten milk which you can by at the supermarket. Also put kitten dry food in it. adult dry cat food it bigger and harder than the kittens. If the milk is cold, the kittens will start shivering as they drink but it is OK. I had 21 kittens in my lifetime and none of them died by drinking cold milk for the first time.

Good Luck!
