My almost One year old kitten is currently pregnant. I'm not sure how far or how to tell how far along she is, help! She always wants Her belly rubbed and we can fill the kittens moving. Also noticed 2 days ago Her milk is starting to come in. We made her a nest and are giving Her kitten chow, as she is still a kitten herself. Wat Now?

It sounds like you're doing great feeding her and taking care of her. 

Make sure to keep her indoors at all times, especially after the kittens are born, for her and their safety and to avoid another pregnancy. As soon as the kittens are weaned, she can be spayed.

If her milk is coming in she should go into labor very soon.

You'll need to get her spayed after the kittens wean, and she should not be going outside at all.

She also needs to eat wet cat food every day.

They are all doing great. Momma is kinda freaking out a bit everytime they whine. It's so cute bc she goes to eat and hears them so she'll run back with a mouthful of food and jump in with them to eat it...

You should have some food, water and litter box nearby so she will not have to go too far from her kittens.

Some bleeding is normal after giving birth.  If she is bleeding a lot go to the vet.  If you are unsure, call the vet and ask.
