I can lay my hand on her and feel movement....but she seems to never like it she tends to bite...when she is prego.....she had 3 babys real early last yr and they didnt have formed ears. Or eyes yet or hair....she had 1 kitten 4-4-16.....and she lets him still suckle...we have to stop them when we notice...

Mom needs to stay 100% inside until this litter is delivered and weaned. She can get pregnant again within a week of delivery. Back to back litters are very, very hard on mom's body. Your cat still looks quite young.

You will also need to neuter Vampire soon or he will start to get mom pregnant. Do you have other intact males in your home?

In order to replenish her body, mom needs constant access to dry kitten chow and water. She also needs at least four meals of wet kitten food per day from now until she is done nursing.

Have you set up nesting boxes for her?

Do you plan to spay mom after this litter? Repeated pregnancies are not healthy for her.

And Vampire can be neutered now while young.

Do you need help locating a low-cost clinic? Give me your city and state and I will find one near you.

And the reason she wasnt fixed is cause vampire wouldnt stop sucking on her so she could dry up and she wouldnt stop him he still trys to do it we have to stop him....

It sounds like the best thing to do now would be to get Vampire fixed asap and to keep Vampriss 100% inside and away from intact males until she can be spayed. Did she get out and get pregnant this past time?

You should wait until the baby is 8 weeks old.  4 weeks is too early to wean in case something goes wrong and mom's milk dries up.

Maybe you can have them neuter Vampire at that time instead and make an appointment for when the baby is 8 weeks for mama.
