Bless her, cats tend to have natural instincts, mind a few don't
Glad it's going well now.

#4, 5 went fine. #6 seemed to stall and Mama knew something was wrong...because when it was born she didn't lick it or anything. So I put him in aside and changed her bedding. #7 came out but the placenta didn't.... So the kitten was just hanging even after she cleaned and licked him. So I used dental floss and cut the cord. How long until I need to worry that the placenta hasn't come out?
She will hopefully expel it with a contraction soon. You can massage her belly to help. It must come out (and probably will) or infection can set in. She may need a breather first.
Did you try to open the sac and clear #7's face to see if it was okay? Mama may have been tired.
Nice work with the dental floss job!
That's a big litter!

Placenta out. Thank goodness. 8 kittens but 2 of them stillborn. She seems like such a small, little cat, very young to have such a brood. Way to go, Mama Cow.

If a kitten came out with its placenta before the other placenta...does that mean that everything is okay? Or could the one placenta still be inside her?
Sacs open but kittens lifeless? Aww.
HUGE litter! My goodness but she was fertile.
Glad placenta came out. Sounds like she's all done now. Bless her heart.
All kittens nursing well?

Yes, #6 was the kitten that seemed to stall at the head. And after it came out Mama just walked away from it. so I broke the sac and rub its little face but it never moved. It's paw was up by its face so I wonder if it's elbow didn't make it harder to push out.
