Anxiously trying to figure out when she was going to have her kittens - hence where the "wonder" part of her name came - as in - I "wonder" when her kittens will ever come. LOL

ANYWAY... correct me if I'm wrong... but a cat's water doesnt break as a humans would. Each kitten is it's own sac (and placenta). Hence each has it's own bag of water... the sacs usually dont break until after they are born and the mother rips them open. Occasionally they do break before then, but from my understanding it is caused by the birthing process.

I started reading Dill's thread the other night - I SO relate to your anxiety. Here's hoping her newest preening is paws for the cause!

Welcome back! And yes, you are correct about them each being in their own sac. I was going to bring it up but I'm a lazy bum and typing bothers my arthritis a bit.

In the meantime...Happy Birthday DillPickles and Go Dill!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! I can't believe she hasn't popped yet! I think we need a new picture up of her now!! That way we can bet accordingly!! LOL
Im going to go give away some gifts for prizes and hopefully she pops while Im doing that!! Keep us in the loop!

 

[cocoalily]

I can't believe there aren't kittens yet!

I agree with Glitch, we need a new picture. She's gotta be gigantic by now.

 

[bijou's mom]

Just checking to see if there was a Dill update........

 

[glitch]

New Pictures New Pictures!!! We Need To See How Big She Is!!!

 

[dillpickles]

I will take new pictures in a bit guys....lol.......Im just popping in to check on her then Im back out the door, no babies or signs of contractions yet, darn cat...lol

 

[dillpickles]

OH BTW......she has had more discharge today and is being vocal and following me around, i dont want to but i have to go out for a bit, i dont want to leave her,,,,,,,grrrrrrrr Ill ba back leter

 

[dillpickles]

Is funny these pictures make her look smaller, her tummy dropped so it hangs more now instread of being to the side and the kittens are WAY lower, but these are from today....They were taken with a web cam so they kinda suck










She really doesnt look as big as before....guess the kittens are lower and make her look smaller....I dont know, maybe its just the pictures

 

[cocoalily]

She's still huge though!! That belly is just...man, I feel sorry for her having to lug it around.

As for the vocal thing, hopefully that's a good sign! The cats on here in the past few days that delivered were vocal beforehand, so maybe...

 

[luvmy2cats]

OMG, no kitties yet? Wow, this is taking forever.

 

[anmccleod]

Right before Sylvie delivered she DID NOT want me to leave at all!! Anytime I left the room she would meow super loud until I came back! So, hopefully that's a good sign!

 

[dillpickles]

She is just cleaning alot now, expecially her belly....and nipples....she has began to clean herself off when the discharge comes out so i think she finally realizes something is going on......COME ON DILL

 

[tab]

good luck!!

 

[mews2much]

They didnt induce my Coco and she had a week later then the vet said she would. They were going by the Ultrasound.

 

[sillyitiliangrl]

GO DILL, GO!!!

 

[dillpickles]

Today she has to be in the same room as me but isnt being that vocal anymore....cleaning alot still tho.....and there is still that whitish/yellowie slimy discharge(YUCK) at least she is cleaning it off herself......I wish she would hurry Im having a bad day and it would make my bday way better than it has been so far....and its almost over....

 

[cocoalily]

I don't think I've wished you a happy brithday yet, have I?

Happy birthday!! I hope DIll does have them today, that'd be really nice.

 

[bnwalker2]

Happy Birthday! I'm still so surprised she hasn't had them yet!

 

[zoethor2]

She is STILL holding out? This cat is a marathon labor machine.
