Thank you! No kittens in around 50 minutes, I keep thinking I feel something in her stomach but no contractions
Should I assume she's done?

She needed help pushing them a lot and getting them out of the sac and with the placenta but she did amazing, I'm so proud of her

Congrats to you and your mama kitty! Job well done! Also to D Deshart2020 for staying up with you! :)

Mama kitty may have after pains for a day or so which are normal. They look like contractions but help her uterus to shrink back to size. Mama may bleed for up to a week but it should lessen and dry up as she heals internally.

You’ll want to weigh the kittens daily to make sure they gain 6-10 grams minimum each (or more) per day, as there may be a runt. Mom may not eat or get up for hours initially as she ate placentas and will be nursing a lot.

Get some rest and keep us posted! :)
