Leslie, I have helped with the birth of many litters of dogs and cats. I have not seen running diarrhea yet. However, I would definitely take her to the vet, or call. Breeders don't know everything. It's just not a "normal, everyday symptom." A mucous plug, a watery, bloody discharge, crying for you and a desire for attention are signs, and the most dependable is the temperature below 100 degrees. Obviously the breaking of a bag of waters with no kitten needs immediate attention. Are the kittens moving? Is she making her bed? These are the normal symptoms.
A temperature below `100 means labor within 24 hours. Get some help. Put on rubber gloves and hold her still and be gentle. I don't know if the "ear thermometers" are as accurate as a rectal thermometer. If so, that would be great! Then give that information to the vet over the phone. He/she will tell you whether or not to come in. If she's late, he probably will give her a shot of pit.
