Heavily pregnant cat! Does she need to go to vet?

Help please!
My cat is HEAVILY pregnant and was due last weekend (according to vets scans)
She still hasn't had kittens and isn't really showing any signs!
She's eating normally and sleeping a lot, also had some creamy, yellow discharge but not a lot.
I have taken her to the vets 5times now and they're telling me to just "let her get on with it"
But the emergency vet has phoned me three times this weekend saying it's URGENT that she is seen today?!?
I think they just want £140 off me!

Why is the emergency vet calling you?  Does the discharge have an odor?

Do you know when she mated?

Why is the vet so anxious?  Its because their scan showed she is now overdue a full week?

1.  Im not sure they will charge you 140 pounds again - as its not the first visit, now you are a patient in the same errand.

2.  Scans isnt no exact science, and they have been known to take wrongly.

3.  Do you know her time by other sources?  Knwo when she mated, and or when her nipples reddened, and or, when you began the kittens move?

4.  Cats usually manage a little too long pregnacie better than humans.  While the kittens manage badly a too early delivery.  And thus; cesareans are higly dangerous for them.  Not because only of the cesarean as such, but probably they are often done too early...  so you get prematures on your hands - they either do die ine minutes, or its a fight uphill...

So the usual advice, if there is no desperate situation OR you know for SURE its way too long pregn, to wait it out.  Observe closely, but wait, and the balance of calculated risks is heavy for waiting.

Although I do admit, I HAD seen examples where the owner waited too long, perhaps influenced by my advices....
