In early stages of labor are you going to be able to see kitten movement? (Very low in her belly) She has been freaking out to trying to get in the closet and making weird chuffing like noises but I can still see what I think is kittens moving in her belly. I finally have her calmed down in her nest. Still not sure what is going on? She has been spending more time under the bed at night as well. Her milk has definitely come in...I don't want to get excited thinking this is it if it's not....

It sounds like she is getting close, but clearly we cannot know for sure. Try to stay calm.

She is definitely in early stages of labor, she had some sort of discharge on my bed last night I will post a picture. Could it be her mucous plug? She still is having discharged seems a brownish color is that normal?

Yes, discharge is normal. Do you see contractions in her belly? They look like ripples in her sides.

I think I've seen a few small ones but nothing major yet...she keeps meowing and chuffling. She is also enjoying belly rubs which is something she has never let me do.
She has made a few trips to the litter box but she hasn't gone this is normal right?

The second one came right after the first I think mom was a little overwhelmed but she is looking after both really well now.
