Pregnant Cat

Question:
 Hello! This is my first post on this website and I need a lot of advice. We have a neutered male indoor cat named Poe, and we feed all the stray animals in the neighborhood by placing food outside. Well, yesterday one of the "regulars" showed up, looking like she just swallowed a barrel! We figured she is pregnant and took her in. Since last night we have been trying to keep the pregnant kitty and Poe separated because honestly, Poe is a little spoiled boy and we don't know how he would react to the "intuder." Long story short, we just got back from the vet with the pregnant kitty, and not only is she very pregnant but she also has roundworms :( The problem we are having is that we have no clue about the habits of this kitty cat and she keeps licking her private parts--very frequently. I have never been around pregnant animals, and I cannot tell if that is normal or if she is close to giving birth. The vet said she would give birth within a week. We have prepared some sort of a nest for her in a room, away from Poe. Since she is a complete outdoor cat I am not sure what the right course of action is. Should I confine her in the room where her nest is prepared until she gives birth? I am not home all the time and I have never had a cat other than Poe so I don't know how she would do in an enclosed space alone. Unfortunately, our house is a bit small and the only available room for her has valuable things we cannot possibly transport. And I know I will not say "oopsie, oh well" if she decides to give birth behind the sound system when I am in class. Is there a way to make sure she gives birth in the designated spot? Any ideas?
Answer:
 Is she spending time in the "nest"? Seem to like it there? If so, then there is a good chance she will go there. Cats usually like somewhere private & secluded to give birth but there is no guarantee. Yes, I would suggest penning her into a room, with food water & litterbox & her nest. Did the vet give you a second dose of the wormer to give the momma? The babies will need some when they get to be about 3 - 4 weeks too. Did the vet tell you what to look for in case she gets into trouble & would need a C-section?
Answer:
 Thank you very much for replying. As the "nest" we put the base of the carriage (with the top removed in a corner), put several layers of towels in it and hung a tapestry over to cover that corner. She does have fresh water and kitten food right next to the opening of the tapestry, and a litter box across the room. I really want her to be comfortable in that corner. However, she does not spend any time in there. She just lies around in the middle of the room, or moves about, so its not like she has picked a different place. We do have some dewormer to give the mommy on the 22nd. We will take the babies to the vet for exams and I guess that's when they will get the dewormer. I have read about the birth process online on various websites but the vet did not tell me anything I should watch out for. Is there a list of things to watch out for?
