Hi Guys

My bsh girl is due to give birth tomorrow. It is hers and mine first litter.

She had some mucus come from her bits on Thurs night and then again yesterday evening but she shows no signs of giving birth yet. She is very relaxed, sleeping alot. I felt the babies move today.

How long should I wait until I phone the vet for advice. I thought she would go into labour shortly after I saw the mucus.

Any advice would be very much appreciated.

my british had a litter 3 weeks ago, she had mucous coming away on the sunday and didnt give birth untill the following friday, she likes to keep me waiting.

For now i would keep a close eye on her as birth could be very close, if the mucous turns very bloody or brown ring the vet asap.

Iam no expert but if you need any help/advice or your just worried i can pm you my number, i know how nerve wracking it can be however many litters youve had.

I hope everything goes well for you

Hi Jen

Thanks very much for your kind reply.

I do feel better knowing that your girl made you wait several days after seeing mucus.

I am keeping a close eye on her. She is in my bedroom at night. She is sleeping a lot better than me at the moment as I keep waking up to check on her!

I will keep you posted.

You will soon get used to functioning without sleep lol.

Iam a nervous wreck while there pregnant, iam a little releived once there born, but not much because anything can happen.

I dont relax untill they have seen the vet, iam sure youve done your homework so you no what to expect.

Chances are she will have them at night time, i always set my alarm every couple of hours after day 63, i would hate to sleep through,

I hope they arrive safely, keep me posted and if you need anything at all iam happy to help.

I agree cats often have kittens at night. My female used to climb on the bed and crawl under the blankets minutes before the first kitten was born to let me know. They often try to warn you but if you are not sure alarm set at 1 hour may be safer than two. A lot can happen over 2 hours. Good luck with your litter. If she wants to sleep near you let her.

Thank you.

We are now day 67 and nothing yet. She is so relaxed! She is a bit wet down there again today - hopefully today will be the day!!

Hope fully today will be the day!

what colour ase you expecting?

dont panic have had girls go to 72 day before,so long has mum is not showing signs of stress all will be ok.towels and hot water bottle as the ready ??

Everything ready, I am so nervous. I can't stop looking at her tummy. Her babies are somersaulting all over the place! She is so relaxed though.

good luck hope all goes well
