Hey guys, so my boyfriend and I found a kitty in the middle of winter she's not much bigger than out cats, I don't know how old she is I'm guessing between 4-6 months. We have had her for about a month now & we have noticed her belly is huge! And nipples are getting bigger..

Yes, if she has been outside in the past few months it is nearly certain that she is pregnant.  

I'd advise taking her to a vet.  He or she would be able to give you an estimate of her age and how far along the pregnancy is.  It is also probably still possible to do a spay if you do not wish to have her pregnancy continue.  In either case, you should get her spayed as soon as possible- if not immediately, then as soon as you can after she has the kittens.

Good luck.

I feel so sorry for her, yes it's definitely possible she's pregnant, they can come into heat under 6 months, that's why they recommend to spay at 2 lbs. Good luck and keep us posted!

I will add, if the vet is decently good surgeon, spaying also quite late in the pregnancy is not difficult nor dangerous.

Recommended here, with such a young one....

Tx for helping her!

Good luck!
