Well my cat just finished giving labor to two kitties probably no longer than an hour ago and she's just laying like 2 feet away from them licking herself. Shouldnt she be right next to them or breastfeeding them or something?
 
Okay so you mean your cat has just given birth. She wont be with them 24 hours a day, she will leave them from time to time (usually after feeding them and they are sleeping) for a little while to clean herself and get a bit of a break. This is when she will often seek food and water for herself so have it nearby but in another room. The best plan if possible is to put a divider where she is so one side of the room has her kittens in it and the other has a nice bed and food and water just for her. Make it not too high so she can jump over it easily but still hear her kittens if they call for her. After birth she will want to clean up a bit and recuperate. As long as she is tending to them and feeding them regularly then everything is okay.
