If belly gets hard on and off, its beginning of contractions.   If its precontractions, or beginning of labor for real, not easy to tell.

Good luck!

Its quite common they dont eat shortly before delivery.    YOU must of course be vigilant - they CAN get sick, although they are high preg, we cant decide all problems are because they are just preg...

Does she still has contractions?  Does she has strained breathing?   We dont like a too long active labor.   With first kitten it may be several hours, but not more (ie typically shorter labors than with humans).   With following kittens the labor shall be even shorter, as soon its over 30 minutes be nervous.

Good luck!
