My mamma cat is in my room with her kittens. When I go to bed she comes up crying and then she brings me one of her kittens. Is she trying to tell me something about the kitten? I just want them to be OK.

Please call a vet!!! There is a reason for this!
This could be because she can not feed all of them and is asking you for your help. My female dog when she first delivered her pups was so tired that she tried to give my male dog a few of the pups to watch for her.
It could man nothing at all or it could be a red flag. There is really no way to tell without checking things out with your Vet. That's where I would start.
Is she bringing you the same kitten all the time? If so, she is concerned about the one kitten. If it is random, there may be too many kittens to care for. Please call your vet.
Kitten moms bring their kits to humans for a variety of reasons, including showing off the babies (some are just show offs), or if one or more is ill, for help, or if she is not doing well feeding or caring, for help.
My best suggestion would be to gather everyone up and have the vet look them all over. That way if they get a clean bill of health, you will know she is just a proud mommy and can reward her with treats and pets for showing off the babies!
The vet can get you the special formula mother's milk needed and give good directions if you need to help to do hand feeding.
My friend just went through this over the summer and her kitty mom wasn't making enough milk and so the vet gave them all clean bills of health otherwise AND set a hand feeding (supplementing mom) schedules for each one based on how much they weighed.
It was intense couple of weeks for them, but all are now fully weaned and healthy and in furever homes!
Blessings and prayers for good outcomes for the kit family! Post back with an update!
