I am not sure. My cat is having her first litter too and my vet thinks it is a small litter of 1 or 2 kittens.

A first-time mom can have one kitten or six! But usually 3 to 5. Mine produced 4. :)

Thanls I was just womdering. My cat had 2 kittens 2 days ago but her belly is still big. And is it normal for her to be bleeding its not alot just a few drops here and there and she is still licking her self like before and after she had each of her kittens. Oh and one more question she been wanting to go outside should I let her just for a lil while? I'm knew to this.

Do NOT let her outside! She has kittens who need her and she can pick up fleas and other parasites that could be passed to the kittens. If anything happened to mama, you would have to feed the babies around the clock. She can also go into heat anytime and get pregnant again, so no, please do not let her out. Thanks for asking! :)

If her belly is still big it's either because she put on extra weight, or her uterus needs to shrink back, or she needs to deliver more kittens. Sometimes cats can have another kitten or two a day or more later.

The drops of blood are normal after giving birth. It should stop soon.
