She won't leave my side, and she has much more discharge. i hope it's not another false alarm. We have had movement for 4 weeks and 4 days

FINALLY! She just delivered a callico about 20 minutes ago. But the placenta is still inside of her. Baby seems to be okay, and there isn't enough cord to cut. Is this okay?

Okay, I got a little more cord and was able to cut. Baby was crying nonstop and it was freaking mom out. Everything is calmer now, but still no placenta.

She had #2, a solid black, at 7:45. This placenta has also not come out yet. I wonder if she ate the 1st placenta while I was typing my last note here. It was a difficult delivery. #2 is very large, and he came out hind leg and buttocks first.

#2's placenta just came out w/ baby #3, another solid black. #3's umbilical cord was already broken when it came out, and placenta is still inside (again!). #3 is doing well, screaming away!

I am trying to hurry, I don't want to miss a placenta. Still no #3 placenta. #4, another calico was born at 9:10. Her cord was also already broken. No placenta. #5 was just born at 9:40, a black and white, cord still attached, no placentas. We are waiting on #3, 4, 5 placentas. Her belly is still huge, too.

Nope, I was there the whole time. She just delivered a placenta at 10:30, and there is another starting to come out. I flushed it, because she was not interested in it. I can feel at least one more baby moving inside of her, but she is really tired. She has struggled a lot.

At 12:00 she passed another placenta, but as of yet, no more babies. I am pretty sure there are two more. I can feel them, one on each side, moving, still pretty high up. Mom has not had any more contractions since she passed that last placenta. If there is nothing by 2:00, I am going to call the emergency vet.

I have to ask, were those kittens still held by the umbillical cord when the ones after were born? because if not you must have missed a placenta somewhere. Only placental twins, which I believe are rare in cats are born cat, cat placenta (they are also not necessarily identical in color and markings). Every other birth I've ever watched for the rescue was cat, placenta, cat, placenta.

How are mom and babies? did you have to go to the e-vet?

Everything is okay now, though I am so tired. At 2:00, she passsed another placenta, and at 2:30, she had #6, a black and white. Placenta followed closly behind, thankfully. I could still feel one more, but by 3:30 AM I was exhausted, and fell asleep beside her. I woke in a panic to find #7 had been born, solid black, and was mostly dry, and mom was eating the placenta. Mom is skinny now, I think we are all done. WHEW! Thank you for all of your support, you guys. I'll get some pics up after I take a nap!
