My cats water broke about 5 hours ago, and still nothing has happened. Should I be worrying? I’ve been up with her almost all night.

Has she had any muscle contractions yet? If you are concerned, you can never go wrong contacting a reliable vet for advice. An article I have found helpful in the past, which outlines the stages of labour in cats, is this: Pregnancy in Cats

Best of luck, hope everything goes smooth! Please update, we do care.

She is currently bleeding quite a bit, so I think she was only in her first stage of labour

How much is she bleeding? If there are large amounts of bright red blood you need to get her to the vet right away as this is not normal.

Update
She didn’t bleed anymore, no contractions started though, so I think she’s taking her time with this

How is this going now?

Water gone IS potentially alarming, but we had forumists where everything went OK anyway, although one sack did burst much too early...

DO you have access to a good vet?

Anyway, if its not clear as yet, and you cant contact a good vet, be sure you give her lotsa of calcium. Any calcium rich food she fancies; goats milk, youghurt, cheese, kmr. the quickest and storngest of home made remedy is probably egg shells, crushed into a fine powder... its almost pure calcium, so let her lick of it...
If she is weakish, try to smear white caro syrup or honey on her gum, under the lip. Gives energhy.
