Hard to tell atm. How is her behaviour? Has she lost hair around her nipples? Can you feel the kittens move? I'd say she is in the last week's of pregnancy but without an ultrasound from vet it's hard so say exactly

Can you take a photo from above of her standing? And post one of her belly and nipples too?

If you aren't feeling movement yet you have weeks to go.

She looks just like my stray cat does and I've had her in for about 7 weeks so if my cat is pregnant she's at least 7 weeks along I would guess yours is about the same... Hope this helps a little and maybe someone with more knowledge will reply to you soon. Good luck

The pinkish discharge is normal in the days preceeding birth. [emoji]128077[/emoji]

Hello! My cat is heavily pregnant and i've no idea when's she due as she is a stray cat.

Recently, about 3-4 days ago she have been acting very weird. She's eating lesser and lesser and she seems to be restless and looking around. On wednesday i've seen a brown pinkish discharge on her private part.

This morning i've measured her temperature and it was 37.2, whereas just now when i measured her, the temperature rises to 38.0

Is this normal? I'm calling the vet on monday to schedule an appt for her. As for now, i'm so worried [emoji]128534[/emoji]

Everything you describe is absolutely normal, so I think you have no need to worry, apart from the very natural anxiety we all feel at such a time! Normal cat temperature is 38C and the temp usually drops a bit in the days before birth. The discharge is normal too, and cats often stop eating in the hours or days before giving birth. The only thing I would say is that in the photos she does not look very pregnant, though that may be the photos, or she may be carrying only one or two kittens, which might also account for the fact you cannot see them moving. When there are four or six squirming in there it is difficult to miss them!

Here is an article that may help you
[article="32740"][/article]

But a vet check, if she has not had one yet, is a very good idea, just to be sure all is Ok and they may be able to give you a firmer indication of when to expect the birth. If she is restless and searching it is very close, as she is looking for a nest. Have you set her up with some places to choose from? A couple of boxes with towels in quiet places like a bathroom or closet. She needs to have these ready or you may finds she will suddenly have kittens out of your reach like way under a bed, or somewhere dangerous on top of a bookcase. Or even on your bed! It is also a good idea to have scale handy, that measures in grams, so you can weigh the babies every day and reassure yourself that each one is gaining. This is an incredibly useful tool if you are prone to anxiety, as I am. Good luck, I am sure it will all go well.
