We think she might've been bred about 3,5 weeks ago.
She has been getting a rounder belly, it seems like she's nesting(hiding in tight places with blankets and stuff, which she has never done before), she seems to be eating and sleeping more.
She also ended her heat early, she hasn't been showing any strong signs of going into heat either.
But the thing is we think her nipples have gotten bigger but they're not pinking up, they also only have a tiny bald spot surrounding them which can apparently be normal for some cats.
It's just really confusing and we're not sure if we're just projecting onto her since we suspect it.

If she has had heat cycles in the past, is unspayed and has time outdoors or access to unneutered males then it is about 100% likely she is pregnant.
well the thing is we have a male cat and we planned to have one litter and done but we were pretty sure he couldn't have babies and she's gone into heat a couple of times before but we had plans to get them neutered and spayed and still do our male cat is getting neutered very soon

Get your male neutered ASAP. Your female cat has likely mated with your intact male and is now pregnant. You’ll need to get your female spayed 8 weeks after she delivers kittens.

If she mated 3.5 weeks ago, she still has a ways to go. Cat pregnancy runs 63-68 days, so she will likely be due in about 40 days, give or take a few days, and if your timeline is correct.

In the meantime, read our articles at the top of the forum that discuss all aspects of preparing for kittens through delivery. They are very helpful. Get supplies in the house and keep your male away from your female. Raising kittens is expensive and a responsibility - get prepared! We’re here for your questions.

Yep that's the plan!
