Okay so I was very well informed and helped my cat give birth. She started showing signs last night at 10pm Tuesday this morning (Wednesday) she had her first kitten at 10:30 am it was a little black and white baby, the second one I'm assuming got stuck in the birth canal or my Izzy girl took to long to push out BC he was stillborn. No heart beat or breathing :( very heart broken about it. She had two more kittens all three eating very well. My question is. It's 3pm now AZ time and I'm not sure if she's done. Her belly still seems swollen but idk if it's just from birthing already or what. How can you tell or do you just have to wait it out. My mama cat is walking around and eating. She left the birthing room to get some peace I'm assuming lol. Now she's back with her kittens. I have them in my walk in closet in a giant bin so they're in a quiet room. (I have a 3 year old so I thought ahead. I had my hubby cut a hole in the lid of the bin so it gave her more privacy and she loves it. Anyways any way to know for sure or do I just continue checking in?

The only way to know for sure is to have the vet do an x-ray. But if she's not straining or in distress and doesn't have a nasty discharge, it sounds like everything is going well, and I wouldn't want to separate her from her babies or expose the babies to a vet clinic if it's not necessary. If there's another kitten inside, it may come at any time. Healthy births can be hours or maybe even a day apart. If not, the tummy swelling should go down soon. Nursing helps get everything back to normal :).

But if she seems to be in distress at all, it's definitely necessary to get her to a vet ASAP.

Get her to the vet.. that's the best option or if you don't want to move her call a vet to go to your house..

Can you weigh the little ones daily?

Also, can you keep mom 100% inside and away from intact males? She can get pregnant again within a week of delivery and without going into heat. Do you plan to spay after this litter?
