Hi everyone

My name is Lucy, I am new to this site and decided to join this wonderful community after reading all the helpful advice and support you all give to each other.

My cat Olive gave birth this morning to her first litter, the first was delivered at 5 am and the second at 7.30 am. Unfortunately the second kitten was still born He was fully grown and the vet said that this can sometimes happen and not to worry about it too much. What I am worried about is since the second kitten Olive has cleaned herself up and all contractions have stopped, although she is still on her side in the birthing position. I cant be sure if there are anymore kittens still inside, but I would be suprised if there isnt as she was huge and I really cant see that she was only carrying 2 kittens.

I have been reading that it is possible that contractions can stop and the cat will rest for 24 - 48 hours before given birth to the remaining kittens? Is this true or is it likely she will have no more. I would be very grateful for any advice.
