Hello
Last month I brought a female cat (homeless)
IMG_20210705_180811.jpg
was already pregnant cause she was abandoned (I don't know the history of this cat at all) and last week she went to labor and gave birth to 2 kitties (one alive and other dead) the alive kitty is healthy and adorable. But the problem is that after one week now her belly is quite huge. Is this normal?

Whose belly is huge - the mother cat or the baby? The mother may have more kittens to deliver. As long as she is not in distress just wait it out. Cats can deliver several days apart depending on which days they mated.

Keep us posted!

She appears to have more kittens inside. As long as she is not in distress she should deliver them in the next few days.

Assuming she was at least 58 days pregnant when she had her first two kittens...she would be now 65 days pregnant?...she should be having the kittens soon, hopefully. Just to make sure, personally, I would take her to the vet... Best of luck!

I would suggest taking her to the vet and get an xray down. If the kittens are stuck it could be life threatening to mom and them.
