I wanted to open up a separate thread for pics and info. I found other people's experiences useful so I thought someone might benefit from ours.
So anyway, Zoey has been huge for a while, and I've been seeing kittens move for 3 weeks now. She didn't go off food, I didn't notice a change in her affection or personality, in her bowel movements, nothing. Then yesterday morning, around 9:30, my daughter told me Zoey was spotting a bit. I went to check and sure enough, dark red mucuousy blood was dripping out of her. I got worried but was reassured with a bit of googling
The spotting lasted for about 20mins, then everything went back to normal. I figured it was just her mucus plug and decided not to get my hopes up. Around 17:15, I realized she was nowhere in sight so my daughter and I had a mini search party through my house. Zoey was under my bed with my other cat. I just wanted to get her out of my room, but then I noticed she was contracting. Wee! I took her into the bathroom and things went quickly from there.
So now I have a question about their weights.
Baby #1 was born at 17:50, weighing 90g. At 2pm today, he was 111g.
Baby #2 was born at 18:30, weighing 110g. At 2pm today, he was 131g.
Baby #3 was born at 21:15, weighing 107g. At 2pm today, he was 128g.
Baby #4 was born at 21:25, weighing 95g. At 2pm today, he was 115g.
Baby #5 was born at 22:25, weighing 105g. At 2pm today, he was 120g.
That's good, right? When can I stop worrying about one of them dying suddenly?
Also, I think #3 and #4 might have been twins, is that possible? They look absolutely identical (I have no problem telling the other ones apart, but with these two it's impossible), they came within 5mins of each other, and I only saw one placenta for them both.
