I just walked in the door from a trip from NYC and ran to check on my Natty, and she's in labor!! Her water broke on the floor and she's got gunk and blood down there and contractions! She was due Tues but must have waited for me
I'm staying on her the whole time with updates! I'll post again when I see a baby!!!!

Well nothing yet other than gunk, running blood and some mucus looking stuff, contractions are about a minute apart and she cries a bit now.

Vet said at least 5, maybe up to 7. He just felt, he didn't have a working x-ray machine at the time.
She just had a big thing of yellow/mucus looking stuff come out.

She sounds close. Maybe she passed the mucus plug? You must be beside yourself with anticipation.

Me too! I am excited for you!
I have a Queen at home that will be due in 10 days or so. I am glad to get an idea of what to expect.

I am watching this thread with anticipation as well. My Lily is due in 16 days and I'm so excited! I am watching every post and being reminded of birthing. I haven't delivered kittens for 10 years, but have fostered kittens since that time. I have been a midwife several times, and my parents' cat had litters frequently, so I'm exerienced. I must say though, that now that I'm pushing 40, I am much more aware of this pregnancy and all it's excitement.

I'm still watching!!

Well it's been 24 since the mucus plug and still nothing more than gunk... Her temp is about 99 degrees and she seems okay. I'm worried something may be wrong, her stomach seems tighter now and I can't feel babies moving anymore but they seem farther in. She just cleans herself and lays around.

It's been years since I've had a cat that had kittens, but isn't 24 hours of labour long? Have you called a vet? No kitten movement doesn't sound very good to me at all!

I was thinking so too. He doesn't have an emergency number, and I think he's closed on Sundays, (tomorrow) but if she doesn't have them by tomorrow, I'm taking her somewhere. She's 67 days along today.

I just did some searching on google on the subject and it said that her "stage" of labor can last 24-48 hours so I guess I'm just a worrier, but I'm just worried with not feeling movement. I think they've just moved into birth position farther inside her.
