Can cats have similar to braxon hicks like humans or is it usually once they start labour follows?

 

[vince]

Sounds like she's having Braxton-Hicks contractions, sort of a preparatory type of contraction. More waiting...

 

[Jen1982]

How exciting...Good luck Georagg

 

[georagg]

Lol if I wasn't sure before if she was expecting... I definitely know now

 

[vince]

Not gonna weigh in any more about how much time she has before she delivers. I've been wrong so many times on this pregnancy that I'm getting gun-shy. She's been showing end-stage pregnancy signs forever, it seems.

 

[georagg]

yup lol i'm waiting till late tonight and i will bet it will happen just as i go to sleep

 

[georagg]

I feel mean. I had to put her in time out.. she kept trying to go have kittens on my sleeping 13 year old daughter

 

[georagg]

she is confusing me... for 2 nights now she starts the labour behaviour... from 11pm till 6 am then goes back to normal... fully relaxed no pain during the day and no pushing at night. she's eating and drinking...and occasionally play. is it possible she is having contractions during the day that are un noticed by me? if not what else would cause this?

Cats are nocturnal. This may be when the kittens are more active and she is uncomfortable. It’s not really labor behavior.

Might be a good time to consult your vet. Her behavior is most perplexing.

 

[Sarthur2]

You said your cat was “slightly rounded” on Feb. 13th, a week after you bought her. Cats begin to round in the 5th week. That would put her in her 9th week now, with it ending on Sunday, making her around 63 days at that point. She would then be due sometime next week.

Again, an x-ray would show how many kittens and an approximate gestational age.

 

[Jen1982]

If she's due next week this would be similar to my cat and I saw kittens moving about a week ago which ties in nicely to seeing kittens about 2 week before due date.

No news since Thursday? How are things going?

 

[Sarthur2]

Waiting game ….

 

[georagg]

Lol she kept going in the nest area for hugs… I noticed the purring stopped whenever I stopped the purring would too.
She is huge. I checked this morning there is discharge that looks similar to other photos that I have seen suggesting things are finally happening. She is still eating, drinking and playing… and very relaxed

 

[georagg]

Lol this girl is in no hurry, I may have to get her a hot curry…

 

[Jen1982]

Hopefully it won't be long now...although I feel like I've been saying that for about 2 weeks now. She likes to keep everyone waiting.

 

[Sarthur2]

Kittens will come this week!

 

[georagg]

lol either her water broke or she sat on some warm wet thing localised to 1 area. i found out when i picked her up to put her back in the room i set up and my palm felt damp.
