Don't panic. Your kitty will sense it. Just stay calm and keep a close eye!
I trust you have your vets number handy just incase?

It all sounds completely normal to me, If she is not in distress and / or poorly , then i would just let nature take its course.
My cat had here babies 3 weeks ago tomorrow, I didn't know her catch dates either but when she started getting uncomfortable and alittle restless , the babies were born in a matter of days, and i just woke up to them one morning as she had done it all by herself in the night.

The rough period of time in which She " caught" / fell pregnant.
Ok I've been breeding cats for ten years and that's a different one! LOL!
just a common phrase that is used in my neck of the woods lol

I think a lot of us get panicky especially when expecting our cats' first litter...but its a case of just letting nature take its time, being patient and just checking that mum cat is ok and eating well etc. Mum cat knows how to handle the birth process but I did consult my vet (and the TCS forum several times!) during the whole process. Well..that's what I learned anyway!
Have you taken mum cat to the vet? How many kittens is she expecting (if you know)?
Best of luck

puds was very restless last night kept scrathching carpet under bed most of night thought i was going to get up to kittens this morning BUT nothing she ate her breakfast and she is still the same size and not straining or any thing i have put several kittening boxes around even under bed but she wont go in any just scratches carpet under bed is she about to pop or what being a rescue im not to sure of her dates
I am at the same road no clue of the date for SKittles.
My Jada did a lot of scratching on the floor the day before she had her babies. She would also bite and pull on the carpet. Maybe you should set up her nest in a bathroom. That's what I did for Jada and she relaxed and had her babies. She ended up crawling out of the box and having her babies on the bathroom floor though. It was a heck of a mess though so I really don't think you want her having them under your bed!
Also under the bed you can not help her if you had to. Unless you are only 50 Lbs..
