Hello (: my queen is definitley pregnant and we are so excited. We can feel alot of movement in her stomach and her stomach sometimes feels lumpy, how close is she to labor? The kittens have been moving alot for about a week now but recently they have been really noticable, sometimes we can feel their whole little bodies. Is she close to having them? She has always been a sweet loving cat and shes not showing signs out of tye norm other than laying in the grass alot.

Its about one,  at most two weeks left.  It depends a little on how good you are to notice the movements...  If you are an early noticer, good at paltipation, you feel them move almost three weeks before delivery time.

If you are so so, it is easy to notice two weeks before...

Im sending my links!

Good luck!

Goats milk is useful instead of kmr. Raw goat milk is best, but bottled full fat is OK too.

Observe, if an orphan is much bloated, gas-filled, bloated, have colic, simethicone (google on it) may help.  1-2 drop in the bottle.

Fleece or flannel good to use in the bedding for kittens.
