Welcome to the site :wavey:

Yeah she defiantly looks pregnant to me :lol3:
she doesn't look that big yet but she might only be having one or two kittens and wouldn't look that big anyway.

The nipples pink up at about 21 days after conception and they are pregnant for on average about 64 days.

Do you know when she was roughly last in heat ? Or did you notice when her nipples pinked up ?

If not its just a bit of a waiting game for them to arrive. Otherwise you could get a vet to take a look at her, they can do a abdomen palpitation and give you a rough idea of how far along she is.

Welcome aboard.

Well there are alot of factors to take into consideration to determine how far she is.

Is she indoor or outdoor? If she is outdoor you would not know when she got pregnant....if she is indoor and got away then do you remember when she got away?

If you do know when she mated then count 9 weeks give or take a few days before or after...my vet sats 60-65 days.

On the 45th day the kittens have their skeletons formed already...so if you took her to the vet and he can feel bones that means you know she is further along than 45 days..by now she should have swollen nipples and some colostrum coming out...if her kittens are visible with the naked eye then she has most likely 2 weeks to go.....when she starts nesting...pacing around...not eating as much...clear or yellow bloody discharge..meowing then your kitty might be in labor.

Its hard to tell on your kittie but you have to look for all the above and see where she fits.

Sorry I could not help more but the other girls here know alot more and they shall be around soon.
Good luck
