[Smokey18]

Hello everyone new to this site I’ve been following all the threads for a couple of weeks now I’ve got a question my girl lost her mucus plug around 2 hours ago with some still coming out she is meowing a lot for me to stay by her side and wants me to follow her to the nesting box does anyone have an idea of when kittens will arrive

Hi thank you she had some contractions 15mins ago and pushed a bit I can see a sac coming from her vulva how long after this should the first kitten arrive

It depends on things, but if you can, don't go anywhere

 

[Smokey18]

I’m staying by her side I won’t leave her I’ve been present at previous cat births but was so long ago I don’t remember much about it I don’t think her contractions are strong enough yet for her to completey push it out yet

It seems to have gone back inside her is this normal

It seems to have gone back inside her is this normal

I'm not an expert, but I've read from others on this site that she shouldn't have more than 20 minutes of active pushing. So you should call a vet.

Hi she hasn’t been pushing just once or twice when she has a contraction but there not so frequent yet

 

[Smokey18]

She doesn’t seem stressed she’s comfortable and purring

How are things now?
