That's great about taking her to the vet! He should be able to answer all your questions (not that we mind them) But perhaps you can write all your questions down and while you are there just ask away. Or you can ask us if you like, but he would be the better choice. There are only two members here who are vet techs that I know of.

they do this all the time, and usually it goes without a hitch. Try to relax and not worry, she will pick up any stress you are carrying around. Put her in a room by herself, and check on her every now and again. Have your vet's phone number handy just in case. If she does start to give birth, sit by her (if she lets you) when the first kitten slides out, if she doesn't immediately start licking and chewing to remove the sac and chew off the cord you will have to intervene. But let her make the first move, don't just reach in and grab the kitten in your excitement, the cord is still attached, so if you pull, you can do some damage to mom and babies. You will be able to break the sac with your fingers, but the cord is slippery and you need sterilized scissors to cut that.

Most moms are good about being mothers, it's in their nature. It is usually only the really young ones who should of never been mated in the first place where you have trouble.

Crystal I just sent you a PM- so check your private messages.

*hugs* I know how this is tearing you up...waiting is the worst part. 2 of my kitties had their babies the same night(sisters) and they were both runts and looked to small to have them. Luckily they both had them no problem. I know it seems like this is taking forever, but human females sometimes have the same problem and then finally have them with no complications. The main thing you need to do is have everything planned out..food, water, vet number, money, and a dark quiet place for her and her kittens. Also, dont bother her too much. Grandma had several cats have kittens on her farm before I was born and if the mother was bothered alot, she didnt want to have them untill she was left alone and found a quiet place. understand I'm not telling you to ignore her, what I mean is to check on her alot, but dont mess with her or anything unless she comes to you. I know how worried you are. I know you feel helpless. It's OK to feel that way...just dont let yourself feel to bad. She may be able to pick up on your emotions like some kitties like mine can. After they are born, you will be happy and have worried yourself crazy and look back and laugh. All Im saying is that as much as it hurts, there isnt much you can do that your're not already doing. YOu are providing all the love you can. After she is born and they are born, you do need to get them fixed so you wont have to go through this again. Trust me they breed fast.
GOOD LUCK and sorry if I seemed harsh...just trying to tell you the truth about this and wanting to help.

I didnt find that harsh!

Actually I wanted to thank you for your input! It actually helps

Oh and I have an update on the kitty.. ( turning for the worst lol)We went to the vet and he said shes probably going to be having the babies around june 10!.. I guess her gestation period isnt the same..as other kittys!

So more waiting! So 2 months and 20 days.. Approx. 80 days! but other then that teittens are okay and so is the mommy.. oh and we got around 6-7 kittens! and he said the first time around the 23rd to 30th what a crock! lol Got me excited for nothing!

No problem I love to help...and I know how stressfull this can be. I just wanted to give you alittle comfort

Hmmm...well that must me frustrating...I guess all you can do is make sure she's someplace she cant be climbing and jumping(no more falls)untill time.
