It might stress her out more if you took the kittens away. It's probably best just to make sure she, and the kittens, get plenty of regular meals and she'll probably let you know when she's had enough.

I wouldn't let kittens go before the 13 weeks, firstly as that's what's recommended but mainly because they bring so much enjoyment
