hiya I have a 1 and half year old cat who's pregnant for the 2nd time, with knowing who she reacts and is though pregnancy I don't understand this time shes 6 weeks pregnant and she's bigger then last time, but she's already nesting which from my calculations she's not due for an other 3 week  she had her heat patch 7th till 13th of may also her belly is fairly hard and you can feel the kittens in her stomach which seems big for what stage in pregnancy she is.

any information to explain why would be very thank full

Are you planning to have your cat spayed after this pregnancy?

Her belly may be bigger because she is possibly having a bigger litter this time, plus her uterus is already stretched from her first pregnancy. You generally see the kittens move about 2 to 3 weeks before the due date, so all sounds about right. She may be nesting earlier because her maternal instincts have already kicked in due to the practice she had the first time around.

She will get pregnant again before spaying unless you keep her in the house 100% of the time - no exceptions - after the babies are born. As soon as the kittens go on solids you can take her to be spayed. She will still be able to nurse. :)

She may be having pre-labor pains or she is just uncomfortable since the kittens are growing.  Can you tell if her stomach has dropped?  Her belly will look slimmer and you won't see the kittens move as much.
