Hi, I'm almost certain that my pregnant cat has been in labour for over 31 hours, yesterday morning she passed a little bit of blood, but nothing since then. Right now she is laying on the floor breathing very heavily, and her eyes seem to be rolling into the back of her head, earlier tonight she was meowing quite a lot, as well as being extremely affectionate. She has also not at all been interested in her food, which isn't normal for her. Her kittens have also been a lot more active the past few hours. I'm just wondering if all of this is normal? Should I be expecting kittens anytime soon?

But, please if you think your cat is in distress, call or take her to a vet.

She is either in a painful braxton hicks - or its long labor.
If in doubt contact your vet asap now!
Do you know which day of pregnancy this is?
Has she dropped ie suddenly seems less pregnant? This happens a couple of days before delivery.
How long have you felt the kittens move? Have you felt them the whole time since?

She is 61 days pregnant, yes I have noticed that her belly has dropped quite a bit this morning, and she definitely looks less pregnant today. I have felt her kittens move a bit more than usual these last few days. This morning she is acting completely normal, she is back to eating her food, and does not look like she's in pain. Could this mean that she's in delayed labour?
She was probably having Braxton-Hicks contractions, then (not actually in labor).

Okay, that's good to hear, at least nothing is wrong.

This morning she went to the litter box and the only thing that came out was a bit of creamy white discharge, could this be her mucus plug? should I be worried?
