How far along ?????

I just rescued two cats , one is the mother and one is a kitten prob between 6-9 weeks I'm honestly not sure but the mom in deffinatly pregnant but I don't know how far along , I've been spending a lot of my money jut trying to feed them and keep them healthy so can't afford a vet right now as much as I want to . I think the mom is between 4-6 weeks along but can't be sure please in detail describe if you can the stages of week 4- birth and also how to feel the baby kitties please as thank you ( I can also add pictures if that helps please let me know )

I'm so sorry you have not received a reply to you questions. I myself have no experience in this area, but I'm going to bump this to the top and hope someone who knows more can answer you.
 

Hi there, I personally dont know much about this subject besides the very basics. At 3 weeks pregnant the cats nipples will swell slightly and turn a risen pink colour, this is the first sign of pregnancy in cats, at 5 weeks her adamant will begin to get bigger as the kittens are starting to grow at this point can slightly make out a rough estimate on how meany kittens she might have but apply very slight pressure but you should really wait until about week 7 to do this as you'll then be able to feel and see the kittens moving around.
I hope this information helps you out and keep us updated in her progress.

Its as Chrispy says.  Some experienced person can know more by palaption, but it is quite a maze for an unexperienced to feel them and exactly how many. Although you may try if she lets you. Be careful though!.  The last 2 weeks you can usually feel the kittens move (sometimes a little more than 2 weeks).  The last day /days they wander down, and you feel them less.

When the wait is over? is difficult to predict on the hour, even for experienced cat persons.  Count on days 65-67, plus minus some.  You dont want them too early.

There are signs, lotsa signs, but none is exact... so it is just essentially to prepare yourself as well you can, and wait calmly till its done.

Try to be there at the delivery.  Firstly it is a interesting experience.  Second - not so seldom you got to help her and the kittens.

Keep reprorting and asking!

   Good luck!

Thank you )) and also now I deff see the. Ate moving and can feel them I think she might have giving discharge or maybe she's just having a little bloody wet stool idk and she's always sweet to me and always hungry so can't tell any difference I hope she's in labor though because she's very uncomfortable and I'm scared I will miss the birth while I'm at work and something might happen , im 99.9% sure she's ready , what can I do to induce labor I was thinking of feeding her raspberries I heard they help idk help

Nay, dont try to induce labor. Kittens dont manage well to be premature, unlike human babies.

The chance is rather good she will wait with the delivery till you are home with her. They can held up the labor in some degree.

And if she decides to go when you are at work - it is partly she who chooses, not just a blind fate.

Its of course good you are there when it is time. Quite a few of our forumites got to be midwifes and help them save the day.  (I see I repeat myself, but I let it stand).

Good luck!

I'd wait it out, ours got really big and it seemed like she was ready a week before but she wasn't. I would let her have them when they are ready to be born, I think inducing labor would do way more harm than her having them while you aren't home. Like StefanZ mentioned, she might wait for you to be there.

The stray I took in started showing signs of impending labor the night before and didn't have the kittens until I was with her the next morning. It can take some time also, from the first kitten born to the last in her litter it took her like 6 or 7 hours and there were 6 kittens so expect some time between each kitten. It was not a fun experience sitting in a large dog kennel with her for that many hours lol.

Best of luck to you guys, I hope it all goes smoothly! I'd still get emergency supplies ready just in case she doesn't chew a cord or clean the kittens. I had to cut some of the cords and I was nervous but I managed and everyone was okay. I also kept some clean small towels near by so I could warm them and dry them off if any of the kittens seemed cold.

As far as week 4 - birth, the only thing that stood out to me was she just got bigger and bigger. The night before she went into labor her milk started coming in.
