I Meant fade as a nice way of saying dieing because all 3 died at around roughly 5pm but all seems well today no crying or wondering around away from mum just climbing all over her and fighting over nipples lol so all looks well fingers crossed I'll keep you posted
so I too think. but Kstonya got scared by the word fading...
Oh, I see, so it WAS fading you were talking, but you meant two different trios.
One whom faded and died, and the other fully of live and proceeding according to plan.
Yes, three had died previously but three bigger kittens are alive and doing well now.

Yes I was taking the word fading as maybe going down hill (dying) I am glad the 3 remaining kittens are doing well. Thanks Stefan for correcting the scissors as my human birthing was getting in the way. We always use sharp scissors to cut human cords as they are so big. Have you weighed the 3 kittens and checked them? Normally when the kittens nurse the mommy will stimulate the bowels so the kittens do not get constipated.
Please update us on the progress.

OK do you have a measuring tape? or string with a marker? Measuring your kittens is not an exact way but if you have several lengths of string and or a cloth measuring tape you can make a note of their sizes. If you do not have a flexible tape (cloth tape) but a yard stick or something like that then by measuring with a string around the belly of the kittens and the nose to tail for each kitten will get some way to see if they are gaining.
How have the kittens been doing? are their tummies round and no crying looking for a teat?

Ok thanks for the tip and yes they are plump and no crying until mum moves to eat or disturbs them they are doing well I'm happy to think we are out of the danger zone and the others were premature and is why they were dieing
Make sure the room temp is not to cold. When I was in Matlock Bath England a number of years ago I remember it could get nippy in the morning an it was summer time there. Room temp at 30c or 80f If you cannot maintain that then having the hot pad and or sock of rice heated at one end of the nest and check them as you can. if they feel cool to your touch then they are to cold they should feel warm in your hand or at least not cold.
Good to hear these three chubs are doing well!

Sounds like she's happy to me!
She must be getting plenty of good food to have so much energy.
