My baby never showed anything that would indicate that she was going in to labour apart from wanting her belly been rubbed I didn't know date of mine as thought she was a boy till started putting weight on x
I tried to put them in nesting box and put her in but she wanted have it she jumped out and just looked at the kittens as if they should follow her so put them back with her x
Just to let you know my little girl had her kittens yesterday she had 3 2 are grey and white and one looks like a grey tabby will get good picture for you later of mum and babies x
