Thx for the comment if it gets any worse I will tell my friend to take her to the vet

I agree with Annie, ask the vet. If the vet thinks there's no cause for concern, have your friend get some Psyllium Husk. Only put a pinch on her wet food twice daily. Her stools will be normal in 2-3 days. You can find the husk at most vitamin shops or Whole Foods.
P.S. I hope your friend is going to get the momma cat fixed once the kittens are weaned in 6wks. She'll need a week to dry out. Also, the kittens should be fixed between 3-6mos. depending on body weight.

You're sure of the due date?  Sometimes humans who are about to give birth get runny poops, it's nature's way of clearing the decks for labor.  But if she is really not due for another week, that would probably not be the explanation.

If the diarrhea is serious and continuing, your friend should call the vet and ask what might happen and what to do for her.  Kitty would at the least run the risk of getting dehydrated if things don't ease up, and that is not good if you're about to give birth.
