Labor?

About 30 minutes ago Mary Jane ran into the room, meowing and rubbing all over me and getting in position to nurse my crying daughter (I was in the middle of getting her into PJs). At first I thought "awww she's trying to calm her" but now...I don't know. The baby's crying is bothering her, but while trying to calm her she squats and kind of bears down. Now she's hiding out in her nesting box unless the baby is crying. When the baby cries she sits next to her and let's her pet her. But the squats continue. When the baby isn't crying she's rolling on the floor wanting me to pet her belly.

She's definitely acting a little anxious and really off.

I forgot to mention that touching her stomach is usually a huge no-no. She's also crying at me a lot. Keeps going back to the nest. Her teats are really swollen like milk is starting to fill in.

Interesting!  We do hold our thumbs!

Good luck!
