You can put a small water bowl or food bowl on the opposite side of the delivery room where she is willing to stay to save her from going to the ground, but the prerequisite is The nest should be large enough, and the water and food bowls should be kept away from the kittens to avoid being knocked over. The female cat will generally not leave the delivery room except to go to the toilet within two weeks.
