Yes, that's a normal amount of time between kittens as long as she's not struggling. You're doing a great job!

Going to have a feel of tummy to see if any more movements felt
It sounds like things are progressing well! Yes, it can take hours to deliver them all. How are mom and babies?

Kitten 4 out normal del and unassisted. Mom and babies doing well. Sofi is looking tired now. She's sleeping in between delivery. She has a bit of food and ate the placentas. She didn't eat number 4 so I've taken it away. Should I let her eat all placentas

Also is there any way of knowing if there are more to come. Her tummy feels all lumpy but moggy did too so I can't tell if I'm feeling kittens or just swelling.
She should not eat more placentas. She's had enough. They can cause diarrhea. There's no way to tell. Cats feel lumpy after pregnancy as the uterus is stretched. What does number 4 weigh? You may want to offer Sofi a dish of kitten milk. They are usually very tired and thirsty after the ordeal. Glad the last birth was normal. How are you holding up?

There may not be a way to tell if there are more if they're in the birth canal.
She's had enough placenta. She might get diarrhea if she eats more.

122g was baby 4. I've just given her the krm and she has lapped it up. She is tired bless her but she is attending to babies well. I have a numb bottom from being on the floor lol but I have a bottle of water and some snacks to so we are ok.

Ok fab no more placentas for sofi. Thanks so much guys. The time between each delivery is getting longer and linger. I do hope she has finished but I'm not convinced she is yet
Perhaps not. Time will tell. You're doing a fantastic job attending Sofi! I'm so pleased with these birth weights! Give her more KMR if you wish. Mine drank 3 dishes of it after her ordeal. Keep us posted!

Sofi is definitely all done. All four babies are feeding and sofi has eaten and had another bowl of krm.I've changed all of the linen so she has a lovely clean bed.I've left her snoring.

Thanks guys. Brilliant outcome and sofi will be neutered in 9 to 10 weeks and rehomed in 12 weeks. As always babies stay with mommy until 12 weeks. Now time to find the right homes for them. Will keep you updated.
