No kittens yet :-/ I'm getting nervous. Hope my baby will be okay! She seems just tired and still eating good so that's a good sign.

Pregnant cat...possible labor soon???
- Thread starter catloverr307
- Start Date
Based on the dates you mentioned earlier, your cat is right around 63 days pregnant, give or take a day or two on either side. Therefore, she is due this week, but which day will be a surprise. Hang in there!

Hi, I think Lucy officially lost her mucus plug. I don't know what that other discharge was but this was pointy and a little more white then the discharge before. I cleaned it up but more is coming does this sound normal?

She is having contractions every so often now but no sign of kittens yet. Only this yellow white discharge.
It can take awhile.

She is actively pushing now...how long should it take for the first one to come?
Under an hour. First-time moms take longer than repeaters.
Any kitten(s) yet?
How's mom doing?

She is pushing a few times and then grooming and then goes back to pushing and grooming again. She seems fine and I'm sitting in the room but not hovering, I want to give her her space! Im also playing this soothing cat labor music I found on youtube. I love her so much, and just praying this goes smoothly for her!
Are you sure she's pushing? Or is it just contractions?
Glad she's holding up well.

Oh
..it might be contractions...it looks like her stomach is automatically moving and clenching together.

Oh okay thank you! And how will she look when she is pushing?
She will squat, or lift her leg, and/or her tail, she will concentrate in pain and you will see her whiskers move back and forth. She will be fully dilated, and you can usually see a sac beginning to appear at the opening of the vulva. She may meow or be silent.

Okay and how long will this stage last that she is in now? She is staying in her area where she wants to have them and she is panting with contractions.
It varies from cat to cat. Stage one labor can last up to 24 hours, but I'm guessing your cat has already been in it for awhile. They pant as the contractions grow stronger and the pain is greater. If she'll let you, you can rub her belly. Some cats find it comforting. The harder contractions eventually lead to stage 2, which is pushing.
