Hello I am just wondering why my 7 week pregnant kitty is barely showing its her first litter and it was an acident my kids let her out in heat before we could get her fixed she isn't that big and I've only seen on side bludge out at a time she's healthy and eating good I bought a fetal Doppler and listened to her belly and only heard one heartbeat could she only have one kitten in her belly she was very thin before but vet said she was healthy why is she not really showing I'll include a picture taken yesterday

Not sure how big you expect her to be..but they fill out in the last two weeks which you are in now. She looks pregnant to me. lol
Our queen had four recently
one was too big and got stuck..
it was a very long labor, 32 hours between the first and second.
I had to help her with the big one it may have been stuck for hours.
I am glad I waited because the vet bill would have been massive.
Nature took its course and the three surviving kittens and momma are healthy as can be.
Good wishes and prayers your little queen will do well.

Thank you all I'm just very nervous I've Neve had a pregnant kitty before and she's my baby when I got her the people told me she was 8 weeks but when I took her for shots the vet said she was only 4 weeks and to bottle feed her some for 2 weeks and she's still just a tiny little thing I just worry so much about her I wouldn't be able to deal if something happened to her and as will be spayed as soon as she's done with this

Two days ago my daughter called me at work and told me the little kitty had snot coming out of her butt she sent me a picture and it wasn't her butt it was her valva. I looked it up and think it was her mucus plug.
Today she has been laying down for 10 mins at a time and wandering around tonight she keeps trying to go in a specific spot in my son's room but she definitely can't have her babies there so I moved her out and closed the door.
I've felt her tummy and it's rock hard and she's was making whimper noises when I rubbed it
Now shes laying in the window seal and swats at me when I try to touch her and is being me( not like her at all usually sweet) I looked at her lady parts and her vulva looks open a little and has moisture around it but she's not vocal and is grooming her self in-between sleeping.
Could she be in pre labor or about to be and y is she being mean all of a sudden???? Please help!

I think it sounds like she is in pre-labor, and she is in the normal timeframe for that. Most cat births happen without any problem, but still keep an eye on her, and be ready to call the vet if there are any problems.

It sounds like stage one labor. This can last a good 24 hours from when it starts. Stage 2 will be pushing. Poor mama kitty. I hope all goes well. Keep us posted!

Well, perhaps it was just pre-labor and she has a few more days. So hard to know!

It sounds like she’s in stage one labor. She’s purring to comfort herself through the pain. This stage lasts about 24 hours, then pushing begins. You will likely have kittens this weekend. Keep an eye on mama kitty in case she needs help or comforting, and keep us posted! :)
