Number two is still getting cleaned up.

 

[missyoreo21]

It sounded like there was a sudden hush of liquid with a little blood is that normal?

 

[talkingpeanut]

Each kitten is in its own sac with amniotic fluid, so that was probably a sac breaking.

 

[missyoreo21]

Thought so three is born was born without a sac so that makes sense, they're all so cute

 

[missyoreo21]

Is it normal to leak blood out of the vagina? Not a lot but enough and she isn't cleaning off the last one that came out or eating the placenta anymore?

 

[talkingpeanut]

Mom might just be tired. Some bleeding is normal. How much blood is it? You can help her clean the kitten and cut the cord.

 

[missyoreo21]

I introduced her to the placenta and she elate about half and chewed the cord but it took away the remains and it wasn't much just a small spurt but want to make sure that's normal

 

[talkingpeanut]

She doesn't need to eat any additonal placentas, if there are more kittens.

Keep an eye on the bleeding. It sounds ok right now.

 

[Sarthur2]

Some bleeding is normal, and if another kitten comes and she does nothing, open the sac, pinch the cord, and rub it with a towel to clean it and get it breathing.

It sounds like she's doing a great job ! [emoji]128522[/emoji]

 

[missyoreo21]

Mama and her babies have been moved to a cosy clean box so we can clean up the mess, before she was exhausted but now in the box she's purring and tending to her little ones, I think she has stopped for the day and will have 4 maybe 5 tomorrow, just hope they're okay.

 

[Sarthur2]

Sounds good! So there are 3 now, but you think she has more?

 

[missyoreo21]

I definitely still feel one in there but I think there may be two more to go, and yeah 3 little ones at the moment all very happy with mum

 

[Sarthur2]

Okay, she may have more tonight, or even tomorrow. She sounds content for now. Just make sure her food, water, and litter box are nearby. [emoji]128522[/emoji]

 

[missyoreo21]

Throughout the night she ate and had water and used her litter tray but no more kittens today, although she did come out the box this morning and meow at us like she did yesterday and panted a little so I think she may drop the 4th maybe 5th kitten today, I hope so I'm so worried there might be a dead kitten in her

 

[missyoreo21]

Heavy breathing and purring but no contractions yet

 

[missyoreo21]

She leaked a very small amount of blood again and still no stage two, things are going much slower than they did yesterday which I guess is to be expected but I'm worried there might be a problem? How will I know if I should be concerned? There isn't any particular foul smell just the normal smell of her and her kittens

 

[newkitties]

Does she seem like she's in labor again? Did you feel another kitten move inside her, and that's how you know? Because she just could be a bit lumpy because of the stress of the birth. Discharge afterwards is normal as long as it isn't a ton or foul smelling congrats on the baby kittens though

 

[talkingpeanut]

You shouldn't worry unless she appears to be in distress. This could mean that she is pushing with no result, or that you are seeing warming discharge, or that she is showing signs of infection.

What you're feeling could also be her uterus, which is stretched from the pregnancy. Mom can feel a bit lumpy. Try not to worry!

 

[missyoreo21]

She definitely seems in labour, on occasion she has a contraction like yesterday but very far apart and not frequent. She pants but again not very frequently and there's a significant bump that doesn't blend in with the rest of her it's super hard on occasions like when she contracts. She's now grooming herself excessively as I'm typing this including no her vagina and is panting harder than she did is this a good sign of moving on?
