is my cat in labor

my cat is pregnant, her nipples have clear liquid starting to come out of
them, and she has been laying around the house but shes not screaming or
seeming like shes trying to push, if shes not in labor when will she be im
not exactly sure when she got pregnant, this is her first litter and probally
her first heat to, i didnt think she was old enough to be in heat yet so this
is her first and last she is getting fixed, i want to be there when she has
the kittens in case she has complications being shes young and her first
litter but i dont know when she is going to have them.
now today she threw up yet still no kittens should i be concerned?

Same message, two days later?

Vet, maybe? You think?

Is she acting normally otherwise? Vomiting can be a sign of labor.
Cats will produce colustrum for a couple days before birth. You need
to make her a soft bed in a quiet area in the dark (a closet works
well) and show it to her. Durning labor she will get restless, may
pant, howl and lick herself a lot, espcially in the vaginal area. She
will look to nest - and may not choose the nest you have made for her.
that's ok - you can move the kittens and clean up the mess later. .
As she births, leave her alone! You only need to check her every 45
minutes to an hour. If you mess with her or the kittens too much, she
may stop labor and/or reject the kittens. Just let her have them and
take care of them.

If she seems sickly, feverish, vomits profusely, won't eat or won't
drink, or generally doesn't look well, take her in asap to the vet!

I wouldn't do that either

she'll have the babies on her own

you have no reason to believe there should be any problems

I don't understand why people run to the vet every little fart thats
let

YOU'RE CAT IS DOING THE MOST NATURAL THING ON EARTH IT DOES NOT REQUIRE
A VET

Buy good catfood with the money the vet would have gotten

feeding her iams kitten food the purple bag i read somewhere that was good

mhmm

I hope you keep at least one of the kittens

Kittens are great!

I took a pregnant cat in once, I made her a bed in the closet, she gave
birth in there.
After having the babies her bed was a little messy, I gave her a couple
of days to recover as she was pretty tired... I changed her bedding and
basically hit the whole box of cats with a big warm wash rag, wiped'em
all down. so you may see a little mess just after, and maybe a little
blood

I put a little napkin of food down next to mommy so she could nibble
without having to get out of bed, I think she liked that. I also
secured her some water in there.

kittens are so darn cute

post back after she has them, or if you have any further concerns

I would expect her to be out of sorts, change of eating habits, litter
habits etc.. she's out of wack for the moment... you have 3 children so
im sure you know how thangs change

the funny thing is, they don't holler like human females, lol

once she starts, it should take maybe a couple of hours... they are
quiet about it...
maybe your children can watch the babies being born, it can be a good
experience

my grandmommy had a pregnant cat on her hands

they lost the cat in the house! they couldn't find the cat, they knew
she was pregnant

after a few days they found the cat with her new kittens in a dresser
drawer
it's funny to hear granmom tell it
