I mite as well start from the beginning.
A lady was giving away 3 cat to a good home, so many people were asking for just one but she wanted them to go together. I messaged her and said i would give all 3 a good home.
When i picked them up she said all 3 were desexed 2 males and 1 female.
Well we had them for a week and the female (Chilli) i seen she was a bit more round in the belly. I toke all 3 to the vet to be microchiped and vaccinated, i asked the vet about chilli first to see if she was desexed to which she wasn't. The vet did a scan and she is pregnant. The vet told me about what to look for when she was in labour and gave her about 3 weeks to her due date. Its now been 4 and a half weeks and look so uncomfortable.what im asking is in the photo is it normal for her to have this on her Volvo or is it the start of labour.
Please no hate replies as im trying to do what best for her and i was not expecting kittens.
She will be going to the vet to be desexed after babies have weaned in that time iv set her up in a room in the house where she has lots of room but no males to become pregnant again before she can be desexed.
Thank you for your time.

I suspect you really meant vulva = ie the lady private parts.   :)

I hope you had the males neutered by now?   If they are good friends with her, and she wants them near, you may let them.  Although wait at least two weeks after the neutering...

Tx a lot for such an responsible and good caretaking of these here cats, giving them a real Home.

Yes that the word. Lol.

Both the males were desexed just the female wasn't. She doesn't really want much to do with the boys. She is alway getting cranky at them.

If she wants her own space, that's fine.  Follow mom's lead.  Thank you for taking them in.

Now is a good time to stock up on some kitten supplies.  Get a small scale so you can weigh the kittens daily, and some powdered kitten milk replacer (kmr), and a needleless syringe in case you need to supplement.  You may also want a heating pad.

Have you set up nests for her yet?
