The waiting is unbearable! Ny last birthing I was present fro, I swear she went three months instead of two, and I knew exactly when she got pregnant. She looked like a bowling ball with toothpicks for legs!She was so uncomfortable she couldn't even lay on her side, and STILL lasted another week. I knew she was in labour only because of the wetness on her rear end. She ended up having seven, everything went well, and so will yours, keep on posting!

Thank you i hope everything goes smooth for her as far as i know its her first litter, and not sure when she fell on how ever she is the same shes massive! like a ball on legs, she has got no hair around her nipples now and they look a lot bigger, all she wants to do all day is sleep.. she will move from one place to the other... in her box.. .and then under the christmas tree.. and then on the middle of the floor and then back again bless her ... shes so big she cant jump up on anything any more she needs help

[di and bob]

Thank you,thank you! What a beautiful little family. I love them all! Tell mama well done and give her a kiss for me!

 

[tink89]

I've just lost one of the kittens.... no reason behind it nothing just passed away it weighed the same as the others however when born yesterday mummy didn't cut cord or eat placenta I had to cut the cord etc don't no weather she knew something was wrong I'm heartbroken...

 

[talkingpeanut]

So sorry to hear that. What were the birth weighs?

 

[tink89]

Kitten 1 - 101g
Kitten 2 - 101g
Kitten 3 - 117g
Kitten 4 - 90g
Kitten 5 - 99g (passed away)

These were there weights today on day 1 I didn't weight them at birth just got my scales sorted today for them... I'm. Praying I don't loose anymore they are all feeding and seem okay

 

[di and bob]

It does happen, no one knows why. The fact that she didn't want to cut the cord may very well mean she sensed something was wrong. Just keep weighing the remaining babies , it is the best way to determine if everything is going all right.
I'm so sorry for the loss, I know how much it hurts.Her tiny little soul will be forever tied to your own, because you loved her. I'll pray for you both.
