Kittens coming soon

Hello, new to the group. I have very pregnant kitty named snowball. About 65 days pregnant, she sleeps a lot eats a lot and is always lovey dovey I'm not sure when she is going to be ready to give birth. If she doesn't have them in a week or so off for another vet visit. She is going to have 7 kittens as the ultrasound showed. I'm very excited. Her nipples are really pink but no milk yet. Anyone have any advice? And please don't say anything about spaying her because she already has an appointment.

Thank you this is my beautiful snowball

Rub her belly if she wants and allows.  Its nice massage, and also help the hormones coming.   Get home some kmr - kitten mothermilk replacement, or goats milk.  Get home a scale.   With that many kittens you will prob get som runts, whom perhaps needs extra supplement.   A scale helps you to discover problems almost immediately.

And read on!

Good luck!

Oh I have tried to rub her belly and now she is trying to bite me. At the beginning she wouldn't mind me touching her belly but as of lately she gets really mad. Thank you for letting me know about the goats milk I will definitely be buying this asap.

Udder cream will come in handy for soothing mom's nipples.  Seven kittens means constant nursing.  You may need to rotate the kittens; move the larger kittens away and let the smaller ones nurse undisturbed.  Or put the smaller kittens to the nipples for extra nursing time while the bigger kittens are sleeping.
