it's been around 3hrs since last kitten was delivered. I know there is still some left in there. Lola is not contracting. The kittens are eating good and Lola is comfy but I feel very uneasy about this.

Don't worry too much.  Cat labor can interrupt for a day or more!  If Lola's comfy and the kittens are feeding well, then things are ok for now.   If she was in unproductive labor for a considerable period of time, and clearly getting distressed you'need to get to the vet.  Make sure the number's handy, and the means to transport her with the kittens if necessary,   Things will probably resolve themselves before it gets that far!

Your comment has calmed my nerves more then you think, so thank you very much!! The first cat labour I was present for she waited around 8 hours before delivering her last one but because Lola is my personal cat I am stressed!!

the first time I felt was right after number 3 was born, I've just felt again and it feels flat and empty. I haven't seen her contract or anything, babies are eating and she's very comfy :) I'm starting to think that there is no more, but if I see anything out of the ordinary I will update you all for sure!

Its often difficult to feel if there is one more, or if it is just some natural swellings.

If you feel them move, so you feel them move.

but if you now dont feel anything, she feels definitely empty, and even the natural swellings seems to be going down now - she is probably done with deliveries, just the raising of the kittens left..

We arent complaining.

You do weigh them kittens from now? In grammes so you easily notice any unwanted changes? And can measure easily the wanted gains?

Good luck!

Tried to find my scale today and it was nowhere to be found & due to roads being closed because of a huge snowstorm I couldn't go out to purchase another one. Going to try for tomorrow! Lola is up and walking around and noticed there was some blood around her vagina so there may be a 4th one coming. Thank you for the compliment :) the stubborn third one looks exactly like it's father!

Hey everyone!! Lola and her babies are doing wonderful, she stopped at 3 so I guess it was the swelling that I thought were other kittens! They are gaining LOTS of weight and all their eyes have opened!
