first timer could use a little help

I know she was mated by my male on 26th march and 2 days later everything quietened down and he left her alone but they he was guarding her and trying to mate for around 9 days in total. now she very small cat I can feel large lumps in her sides and felt some sort of body part like a foot just stroking her as don't want to prod at her I keep feeling like popping in her tummy to her nipples are pink and the hair has gone shes not interested in going out no more if I go in my bedroom she meows like mad till I give her attention she wont leave my bedroom last 3 days before that if she was in the garden she would be no more than 6 ft away and hovering around the back door to go in ive got nesting boxes about which look like shes slept in them but I only ever see her on my window her tummy looks like its hanging rather than rugby ball which was described when I was googling her mum was a full manx cat she defo got the personality and long back legs ect but she has long tail I also read online that manx only go upto 7 weeks I mean she is small cat and the lumps I felt was a tiny lump then a long over lump she keeps getting this white tip on her nipples but no milk is leaking  she sleep literally most of the day and night I don't want to miss the birth but ive never had a pregnant cat and other day I was sat with her all day as the symptoms said labour would be coming soon 

My cat's last possible day to mate was 3/6 (we went on vaca on 3/7 and she was boarded), and she's still pregnant.  She's absolutely huge, and making me nervous, but I'm trying to be patient.  I'd say you've got a few more weeks to go - as nerve wracking as it might be.  Good luck.

Ooh, she just let out a yowl.  But she's been doing that in her sleep for a while.  Might be nothing.  I've been on pins and needles for days.

ive been going up there and keep checking on her every 30-40 mins cant help it she slept all day in the boxes I made up for her not at much like she has been and not too keen on much touching but keeps meowing at me.  I just hate the waiting part I know she probs got until 20th but im just to excited lol xx

Good luck and keep us posted, I'll bet they come sooner then you think!

I will do tonight after grooming her im pretty sure I saw them move but no 100 %

I can see then very clearly and feel them a lot this morning ahe was sparko on the bed normally she just really relaxed and last night she had me up most of the night where she was looking around and jumping up on windows dressers and digging at the news paper ive put down to protect the carpet but only thing is her nipples are a rosy pink with white tip no milk and I wouldn't say large at all compared to what im seeing on google

need some help here she hasn't peed since 5pm yesterday evening or pooed in 24 hours her last poo was rather runny her tummy has dropped a bit and this morning n has felt firmer since Saturday she has been nesting all weekend even pulled a 5 ft teddy to sleep on it she has a nesting box in bottom of my wardrobes and went in it last night when I come home from school run I noticed a dot of brown discharge in her opening when I took a closer look was like a clear bit too but shes normally asleep at this time but she hovering around me she has no leaking nipples but when u try to see if she ahs milk its like 3 white dots appear but its not a liquid that wipes away she had around a handful of dry food since yesterday around 10.30-11pm  she not been grooming herself too much but she has more since she got pregnant before he use to wait for my male cat hes a real clean freak!

just spoken to the vet and he said if shes miscarrying there nothing I can do man I feel sad now im hoping shes not and I got dates wrong of her last mating session

hey kim, my cat is the same she has no milk in yet but some have said on here that it may not come in til the kittens are here they are not massive and she still has fur all over most of them its only the last couple of days its started coming away, I hope your kitty and her babies are ok and they arrive safe and well

 yeh I read that too but fort was maybe rare thing hers arnt large but you can see them from other side of room when she lays on her side the kits are moving around and she started eating and drinking a little last night again so im feeling relaxed as I can be im so very impatient and hate the waiting game in a way its made me not keep counting down days of my pregnancy as im so worried incase she needs help or something and she gt her babies coming sooner than mine but ill just leave her be now until I see full on leakage then ill sit up with her

aww its good that she is eating again even if its just little bits try not to worry too much (easier said than done) worrying wont help with your pregnancy, how long have you got left?

yeh shes all happy in herself so ive left her alone as much as possible today only gone to check food and water and give her quick stroke and i know i need all the sleep i can get right now but reading on here don't look like you do when you have kittens im a very light sleeper and shes had me up for the last week now hunting around my bedroom or scattering the litter out her tray ever where! im 29 weeks today im all excited for both births just waiting games hows your cat doing?

she is doing really well she has now got that big that if she tries to clean near her tail she just rolls backwards lol, the kittens look massive when they are sticking out her sides, I check on her first thing to give her some food water ect then leave the door to her room open so she can come and go then top up food ect through the day.

she is very settled atm as the kids are at their dads for a couple of days then about 9 at night I take her back in and sit with her I have a fluffy dressing gown and she actually sits on my lap and puts her front legs on my shoulder to snuggle up to me and she licks it, not sure why, she has done it since the day I got her.

aww I bet you cant wait for baby to get here I love being pregnant with all mine but it is the waiting what gets you everytime lol  

aww bless her they do look like they will pop if they get any bigger don't they and bet she will enjoy that she may also have the kittens if ya lucky. well lilly has hard tummy and has dropped a lot this moring she was lying of floor and her tummy was going wild with movement most ive seen so far she not really eaten or had a drink today my male cat weirdly enough has been in and out a lot these past couple of days but today hes gone and hid in my sons room under the bed think he may know something going to happen soon and I spoke to a different vets who said I should be expecting from this weekend or the following week and if not here by following week to get her checked over and shouldn't be alarmed if they do come this weekend as they will be on time but shes not to keep on being touched either but she wants to be near me but any slight movement she legs up the stairs then 5 mins later turn around shes there again also shes been trying to get out all last night and this morning I mean it has been a while since she been out and didn't bother her before she just wanted to sleep but now she keeps going under my sons bed she normally confined to my room all day then in evening she has access to living room and hall way but other half left my kids doors open she not too keen on kids so why she went looking in there I don't know  

hey how are you getting on has lilly showed any signs of anything happening  yet? we had a surprise visit from the tom who we think is the father last night so don't know what he was doing creeping round lol

yeh sam old really my kids and other half forget n she got out twice lucky I creep n pick her up but she really wants 2 get out! and she cant clean herself properly any more she like rolls over where she trying to reach the area loool hows ur kitty and ohh really my male cat wanted to be near her all yesterday and keeps coming in to check her today loool xx

aww bless he must know something is up with her, bells is generally ok off her food again today, she seems to eat a bit then once its been out an hr and dried a bit she wont touch it, but as you say just wants to go out so sits at the door begging til she realises its not going to happen, there are no signs as yet, its getting a bit annoying waiting now so have give up thinking they will be here every night lol have resigned myself to they will defo be here in the next two weeks so I will get a surprise when they do get here "early" lol 

yhe lilly keeps going off food but drinking loads yeh she gives up andthen tries to hide under kitchen table on chairs hoping we will end up opening the back door so she can dart out but shes back up in my bedroom now chilling shes waddling today looks funny and yeh im trying to forget making the days feel long if shed had kittens before id be ok just the not knowing what she will be like and where about she has them but my baby kept me up kicking a lot last night and she spend more or less whole night in the box I made her but im like watching her every move and looking for any little sign! lol

this is lilly
