She is crying and came up to me and then started pushing!!!!! She won't let me catch her to get her to a vet, do you think something is wrong or could it be after pains. she wouldn't push unless she was trying to get something out would she? I'm trying to coax her out but I can see her pushing. She is purring but Still there couldn't be another?!

Oh, my goodness! Hopefully just after pains. If she DOES let you near, try to crate her. I would be shocked, but maybe there is a kitten or a placenta! I'm standing by!

I counted all the placentas so it can't be that, I'm hoping it's after pains she's pushing more and more though

After pains do not usually involve pushing, so something is up! After pains are usually just contractions. How many kittens did she deliver? 5? Could be one more ...

Right, contractions may be common, active pushing not, so unless you think rather common contractions is pushing...

Her purring is no proof everything is OK, rather the opposite - they purr when in distress or pains.

Still, your plan is the same.  Try to collect ther, and into the cage.   The cage in itself is no bad nest, so IF she has a kitten, her nest will be in the cage.

Good luck!

The fluid has little blood in it this time she still seems calm though but I can only imagine this one is also dead because it's taking her a while to push it out. This is devasting she won't let me get near her near

This has got to be it. It will surely be dead. I hope she is not hemorrhaging inside.

It is extremely devastating. I feel so badly for her. She has been through way too much.

This is too much pushing without a result. I hope she will be okay. Update when you can!

I had to have my husband help the kitten was deformed eventually after I got her back on the blankets she let me rub her belly to help move it down. The bleeding was from the kitten I think I don't see anymore blood

Glad he could help. Glad it's over and mama kitty is okay. Bless her heart! Poor thing! That has got to be it.

Does mama kitty seem ok? She's not hemorrhaging, is she? Are you crating her now, or just catch her tomorrow?

Whew! That was nerve-wracking!
