Hiya, movement should be limited. There's not much room left for them in the womb and as they are making their way down the birth canal it's even tighter. Dont stress, remember cats have been giving birth without humans present for thousands of years and then some. Leave her alone for a while, she may be putting the labour off because she has an "audience" or she may just be tired. Is she contracting?

Each kitten is in its own sack so the fact that the water broke is just the water that is around all to the babies. The babies will look like a egg coming out but you will see the kitten in the clear bag. You might want to be close but maybe outside the wardrobe. checking her to often could slow things down. stay calm.

From what I just read up on, sometimes the sac comes separated while still inside mommy. Hopefully she will be delivering soon. Butt don't bee alarmed. It can take half hour or more between each kittens birth

 4 kittens not sure if that's it or more how can I tell
You really cant tell for sure if you arent an expert.   She may have a pause, or she may be done.

But the answer is easy: if there are no troubles, she seems happy with her kittens etc, no visible problems, its just to wait and see.  Observe, as the situation is somewhat touchy, and a crisis may develop by several causes - but essentially you can relax.

BUT if she seems in distress or difficulties, prepare to contact your vet ASAP, and rush her in if necessary.

Good luck!

Mollys not cleaning poo up from kittens . I don't want to keep going in as she's very nervous. I've had to move them into the wardrobe as my son kept trying to see them . They are doing well but noticed she's not cleaning there poo away. What can I do ?

Good you managed to move them into a quiet, calm corner.   I gather she is stimulating them, which is a big help.  Usually moms ates up the results, so most caretakers never see any eliminations.

This is not so touchy as it seems, but...

If you can cautiously remove that poo, with a somewhat damp baby wipes?

I hope mom isnt too nervous for this, she shouldnt.  If you do it at her place, so she sees you are not doing any harm, and tey are never far away.  try so they dont protest too much - THIS would worry the mom.

Good luck!
