She is still very needy following me around the room. More of her mucus plug cane it was like snot and she is breathing kinda heavy but doesn't seem under stress she just wants to be on me and rolls over to have me pet her belly
I hope you do rub and massage her belly?  It helps somewhat, one forumite found even  written this was actively helping the hormones into action

Difficult to tell.  This is more intensive than an average precontractions, but still, it doesnt sounds as a full labor.

Her temp has dropped?  you can measure in the armpit of forearm - give us the exact temp you found - and where.

If your vet is any good at obstetrics, it would be wise and the simplest here, to phone .her and ask.  She will know what follow up questions to give.

It sounds normal to me. As long as she is not pushing fruitlessly and in distress, it sounds like intense labor. Have your vet on call just in case. Be warned she may or may not pause when you leave since she seems to want you there. Good luck!

Just phoned the vet she said that once her mucus plug his it could be up to 36 hours but it sounds like pre labor to her she said she probably will go tonight just checked her temp and aux its back to 99.3 so that would be what 100.3?

Yes, 99 in the armpit will be roughly 101 in the behind.

On the other side, once in labor, or even intensive prelabor, the temp will rise somewhat.  Of course, when you think about it.   :)

So to summarize, its touchy but seems not alarming.

Ok, so the pic clears up.  She becomes weird when the contractions comes, but they arent  as yet the pushing fase.   Its really a fruitless pushing fase which is the real dangerous.

Intensive prelabor isnt fun, but its not as alarming.

Make sure she has water to drink, and something nourishing to eat, so her batteries are loaded in full.

Here with you.  I hope you can be late for your appointment or get someone else to stay with her and make sure she and the kits are OK.
