(It is actually possible cuz pregnant cats who are giving birth can actually pause their labours/contractions and walk themselves to another spot (they're capable of walking at least the perimeter of your house while in labour) so they can pop out another kitten. It's possible that kittens in one litter can be born hours or even days apart from each other.

Don't ask how I know :P I have a book called "1,001 Things You Always Wanted to Know About Cats" and that was in it. This is the exact passage:

"325. It's called "queening"

The female cat - technically, a queen cat - is quite capable of giving birth all by herself, as is true of most a nimals. Normally she seeks out a darl, secluded place with adequate warmth. The kittens may arrive headfirst or "breech birth" - either is perfectly fine. The mother severs the umbilical cords with her teeth. The kittens arrive one at a time, not all at once, and there are cases when the mother ceases labor, moves the kittens who have already been born to a new spot, then recommences labor in that spot. It's possible that the kittens in a litter can be born hours apart - or even days.")
