Ask her to contact her local rescue, with kitten season being in full swing I am sure they will love to hear from her.

However, she needs to REALLY think about the pregnant cat fostering, cats with older kittens fair enough, but with a 3 year old newborn kittens will be very hard.

I had one pregnant cat I fostered that nearly put me off for life!

She went into labour in the early hours of the morning, I woke up hearing kitten squeaks at about 3am. Found 1 live kitten and one dead

A few hours later, having to stay with her the whole time to help clean kittens etc. and revive one that she left, it was clear there were problems and she was rushed to the vet.

Arrived at the vets at 5.30am (would she have to drag a small child out of bed if this happened?) and she was given injections and sent home.

Last kitten born dead a little while later

By the next day another kitten had died Again back to the vets who checked mum and said her milk supply was poor which meant hand feeding newborn kittens

I was up EVERY 2 hours day and night to feed them, considering it took nearly an hour to get them all fed I had almost no sleep. I was lucky I was not working and that my partner was around to take over all other duties.

Lost another 2 kittens hand feeding as sadly it is not always succesfull which left 2 kittens to try and save. By this point mum was very ill and had been diagnosed with an infection.

When the kittens got ill we knew there was something serious going on and vet tests showed that they all had an infection (can't remember the name) that was not only dangerous to all other cats they had been in contact with but could be caught by humans!

Luckilly I was fine and the 2 kittens did survivie to find new homes but oh my god was it exhausting! I would NEVER in a million years volunteer to do that again unless the situation was desperate and I am an experianced cat owner and worked in rescue for many years.

Once the birth is out the way and all kittens are feeding well etc. this part is managable. I would suggest she starts with older kittens or mums and kittens rather than pregnant cats for this reason.

She may have experianced ferals giving birth but it's a different situation, ferals do it themselves, any ill kittens are left to die and they usually give birth alone outdoors somewhere. PLus she didn't have a 3 year old to think about then!
