well it is possible that she has only one kitten but usually there are more. There can be hours between births but not normally more than a couple of hours.
If she does have more kttens inside her and she is having problems then only a vet can help her.

My advice would be to see if their are any more movement in her tummy, also watch to see if your cats behavior changes ie does she appear to be in distress or pain. Is she eating ok and using the litter tray as normal. if any of these things have changes then the best thing is to take her to a vet. See if there are any animal charities in the area that may be able to help with the costs involved.
