I've had Zoe for 2 weeks today, and I've felt the kittens moving since I got her, and I thought she was huge then! I've been easily able to watch them wriggling in there for over a week and a half, and yesterday night I'm pretty sure she had milk.
I do have one question though- I only really saw milk come from a few of her nipples yesterday- is that normal?
Other than that she's still acting normal...

Thanks for your help in advance!

I am not sure, but from what I read it should be really close. I have been seeing kittens moving for nine days and she is just resting on the sofa with no signs of labor at all. Sometimes I think she is nesting..but that is pretty much the extent of it. The waiting is the worst!

Well, I just checked, and we definatly have milk from all 8 nipples! According to what I've read, it shouldn't be more than 24 hours now!

Be happy she is lactating. I could only get something out of one nipple after Baby Girl had the first 2 kittens. I called the vet about it and they said to give it some time. That's all it took and we have some fat little babies.

If they've had litters before they can get milk up to 2 weeks before they deliver! I doubt she has 2 weeks left, no way, but maybe she's had milk for a while and you just didn't notice?

Maybe, but there's no way she has two weeks left- you aren't even really supposed to feel them before 2 weeks, but I guess Zoe's just an exception. If she doesn't have them in a few days, we may have to call the shelter and see what they say- I hope she won't need a c-section!

I actually meant that I can't wait until Mother's Day (tomorrow). Two more weeks? No way!
