I know this is gonna sound like a silly question but do cats fart when they are about to go in to labour cause winter has been doing this all day an it smells very bad or could it be just what she is eating

That is not the most common to fart so much.  Some, sure, but.

What is it eating as yo suspect it may cause excessive gases?

Btw, has she been properly dewormed?  Inside only cat usually dont have worms.  Especielly not if bought from serious breeders.

But you newer know for sure what they catched.

Does she seem to have any diarrhea? Some cats get diarrhea before giving birth. I assume that can also cause some gas. But I never really heard anyone talk/complain about it, so aside from diarrhea, I don't think it's really a sign.

Perhaps post a picture of Winter if you can, that would be plenty of help. Have you felt the kittens? I felt my cats kittens moving around at 7 weeks, it started with little kicks (pretty strong, about a 6 on the 1-10 scale), and now at the end of week 9, I can literally feel an entire kittens head and legs, even see them all kicking in her belly from across the room. So I'd say the movement will feel like a 10/10 when labour is near, as the kittens will squirm around to position themselves for birth. They will really look like they are fighting for space! It's hard to miss.

Good luck and keep us posted! My cat is due any day too, the waiting game sucks, but you will miss it!

This is winter Im not sure idid anyone will b able to tell she is but she deffs is
Wow! Such a pretty girl. Reminds me of my old long-haired Russian Blue. She's certainly pregnant, I'd say about 2 more weeks to go, possibly less. It could also depend on how many she is carrying! Is this her first litter? She could only be having no more than five. This is my cats first litter, I don't think that there are more than five kitties in there. I can't wait to see! Are you able to extract milk from at least one teat? And what colour is the milk and it's consistency?

Yes, sounds normal.  The first milk, the colostrum, doesnt has the exact same consistence as the later in coming milk.  Less fat, more antibiodies, more watery in consistence.
