If she's been in Stage One labor she should have them this weekend. It sounds like she's progressing for sure! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Still no kittens after +48 hours.

I think maybe she isn't ready, but I'm confused why her belly would look just like she's close/acting like it.

My mom said she probably isn't pregnant, just in heat.. Is it normal for her to leak discharge if she is just in heat?

It's just a little bit every once in a while. She keeps licking it away so it's hard to get a decent look or notice it.
It's clear\white-ish.

Has she seen a vet at all for her pregnancy?  I'm not trying to worry you just asking questions.

No, not yet. I suspected she was pregnant and was going to take her in this week, but she started to show signs of labor Friday morning so I didn't bother to make an appointment. I will definitely take her in this week if it's recommended, or at least call my vet about it.

She has pretty thick fur so I haven't seen anything moving, but I felt little kicks before and so did my sister when she came to visit. Now it's kind of hard to feel them unless I wait for a while but even then it's just little movements & I only feel them when I press my hand underneath her.

She's a little over a year, which I'm aware is pretty young, but she ran out about two months ago and I have seen a cat wandering around that I assumed was a tom because he was so big. But around that time she was out, my neighbor's male cat ran off as well & he isn't fixed.

I'm wondering why your mom thinks she is just in heat and not pregnant.  A call and/or trip to the vet might be a good idea.

Please see a vet to settle this question. It sounds like the cat is pregnant but not quite ready yet to give birth. A cat can experience pre-labor before actual labor as well.
