so, i have just picked Poppy up and when i put her down i had a clear discharge on my t-shirt.

I then checked her (down below) and noticed that she had a more clear discharge coming out, i wiped it with a wet wipe and it had a reddy tinge to it like there was blood in it.

Is this normal? and does this mean she might be about to have them?

Any advice would be great!

Thanks

Good luck - sounds like she is starting.

Sounds like you'll soon be seeing kittens born within 24 hrs, maybe within 12 hrs. Good wishes for a safe healthy birth. Sending Poppy lots of cyber kisses - x x x x x

Good luck, cant remember how long it was inbetween duvet stains and birth it was quite a few litters ago, vaguely think it was about 24 hours. Just watch her for any signs of struggling, i.e. pushing for hours and hours and nothing happening, anything nasty coming out. Signs of starting... the queen panting (yes mine do that gob open and all that), or if the first kit is on its way out you will see a plastic looking sac, like a condom pmsl, this is the babe's head normally. The sac over the head has to come off within a few minutes or the kit will suffocate. The queen may do it, or you can split it yourself with fingers to make sure the kit can breathe and open its airways with your little finger (common sense, making sure you have washed your own hands with antibac ).

You'll probably find the queen will do all this as course of nature, but watch her like a hawk as they dont all behave as per mother nature's rule book

Well - still no sign of kittens this morning and i have had to come to work. My OH is at home today so he is going to sit with her.
Last night she seemed slightly dilated but she looks exactly the same this morning. Nothings changed.
She is fine in herself and has even eaten a little bit of meat today. She only seems comfotable when shes lying on her back on my knee. The rest of the time she just keeps walking around. This morning the bump seems to hanging really low in stead of out to the side.
I will let you all know when the eventually start arriving!
