Read this? It seems there are no expert advisors online at the moment?

The key is to remain calm.
Basically it says if she is struggling and pushing for more than an hour she needs to go to vet. If she is calm and relaxed and doesn't appear to be in full labor...it's a waiting game...but all the kittens should be born within a 24 hour period...with each birth taking no longer than an hour.

I'm not experienced at this though! Just relaying information.

I know my cat had her kittens over an 8 hour period around 1 - 2 hours between each kitten...but I've read it can be up to 24 between kittens as well. As long as your cat isn't distressed.

I feel so sad now what should I do I.don't wana lose my cat

Does she seem distressed to you?

Kinda ina way she does becaus she just lays there she meows a alil but then just starts purring n kinda getting sleepy

Its really an vet errand...  IF you had the money, could you get her to a good vet immadietely?   I think this is the question. Because its almost always possible to raise money, lend from someone, perhaps agains promise to work in them later.

Inless its some fancy and very costly ER clinic - where the sums may become astronomical in no time.

continue to write, come back

Is that strange/abnormal for her?
It's hard to say over the internet.
I would call a vet and figure out a payment plan later. Doesn't usually cost anything just to call...[emoji]128533[/emoji]
Just keep her and yourself calm for now. She doesn't seem too distressed but then again I don't know your cat and i can't see your cat. [emoji]128550[/emoji]

I know some clinic here but again don't hav money no one will lend me or I.can't raise I feel so helpless for her shes laying down quiet.looking at me

Is there any way they will help her and later on I can make a payment plan

Otherwise, if you cant and must do with what you have.  Risky business of course, and may end badly here if she doesnt get adeqate help.

OK, with a little luck, it MAY be a natural pause, and she will get going, perhaps after some rest...

To enhance this chance, give her glucose sugar - perhaps thick honey water to drink.   If she cant drink, smear it on her lips and gum.  It gives quick energy.

Next think which comes to my mind, is if she has too little calcium.  This can cause weak labor.  Again, this is normally something for a vet to give a calcium shot, but you can try with giving her something containing calcium.   Youghurt perhaps?  Plainf full fat youghurt is best, but almost any should do, - most important you have it at home.

You can mix the youghurt with this honey - or white caro syrup.

(boiled) Egg shells crushed into fine powder and sprinkled on her food is much calcium too...

Your rubbing the tummy, and trying to calm her, to get her comfortable is of course helping....

I think it was this I had for now.

Good luck!...
