I would take her to the vet, if this is her first littter than it is possible that all may not make it. Good Luck Sweetie, and sorry for your loss!

If this is her first litter, it could take hours to at least a day before she has them. Also, if her first litter, 9 times out of 10, there is at least one kitten that won't make it. If you are sure that what you are feeling in her belly is other kittens and not just contractions, and if she doesn't start to have them in the next few hours, then I would advise you to take her to the vet to get her checked. They could be trying to come out sideways, and could possibly be stuck. Also, if this is her first litter, she may just have one. A lot of cats, especially if they are small cats, will have 1 to 2 kittens.

This is soemthing I definitely know all about! Sometimes it can take a while for Momma to have all the babies, but if the first was died or was born dead you should go to the vet right away. Momma cat might be holding the rest of the babies in and that is harmful to the kittens and to her. Sorry about the dead baby, hope the rest are o.k., it is really sad when they die.

I believe it can take a while for the kittens to be born, but this doesn't sound good. If the kittens are stuck, they could die and kill the mother. Definately go to the vet. Take the kitten that was already born, just in case.
Good luck.

Yes, you need to take the cat to the vet. 12 hours between births is much too long. They can be stuck, and if so will likely die as well. She most likely needs a C-section.

it is complicated. yet cats are exceedingly intelligent, she includes this camp floor because of the fact she expects to discover meals there. This cat could also have a house there. i could take her lower back....for the kittens sake. yet go away particularly some meals and water in a secure place. i could examine lower back in an afternoon or 2. you do no longer pick to take the mummy from the toddlers in the event that they pick her. whether this cat could have left the kittens because of the fact they're the right age to pass out on their very own. i'm happy you're so loving and nervous approximately animals. you're dazzling!!!!!

Take her to the Vet. Don't stress over this yourself. If she has had one already then she should be laying down trying to have the rest and if she isn't then she may be having problems.
