My pregnant cat has a pink bubble from her vulva. Is she in labor?

It depends on how close to labor she is. Some pets may not stop eating until right before actual labor, while some may stop eating and lose appetite about a day or so before. Making sure she has a nest box to have her babies and keeping an eye on her for additional signs of labor such as visible contractions and pushing is best. If she continues to have discharge without going into labor, or is in labor for several hours without producing a kitten, seeking veterinary care ASAP is best to make sure there isn't an underlying problem or stuck kitten.

There is often a small amount of pink/watery vaginal discharge shortly before the cat goes into labour. If Kia is acting as normal, there is no vomiting and she has good appetite, you should monitor her at home. However, if there is any change and she becomes unwell, please take her to your local vets for a check.

A small amount of a blood tinged discharge or "spotting" from the vagina is normal just before or during labor. Monitor her, but don't stress her out or she may delay the delivery. Most cats will [deliver a litter](https://www.petcoach.co/article/queening-giving-birth-in-cats) without human intervention. Provide a quiet, warm, dimly lit, clean area for her to deliver then back away. If the discharge becomes heavier or transitions to active bleeding, then she should be seen by your veterinarian or at the nearest veterinary ER immediately. After all the [kittens](https://www.petcoach.co/article/5-myths-about-kittens) have been delivered and the mom has settled down, consider an exam with your veterinarian to confirm good health for your new little family.

This could be a sign that labor is near however it could be normal behavior for this stage of pregnancy. I would monitor Kawaii for any vaginal discharge, appetite change, hiding behavior or active contractions. If you notice any of those signs it is a more reliable indicator of labor. If she has any green discharge, contractions without producing any kittens, or has a foul smelling vaginal discharge she needs to be examined by a veterinarian as soon as possible.

No, 45 days is too early to give birth. The typical gestation length of a cat is 58-68 days, and a pinkish discharge from the vagina can be a sign of something wrong with the pregnancy. I would be very concerned that she is experiencing a spontaneous abortion, and I would take her into a vet immediately.

Hello. As long as she seems to be acting fairly normal, this is probably just a normal discharge as the cervix begins to dilate. She should start delivering kittens in the next 24-48 hours. If not, please see your vet to rule out the possibility of an infection. Hopefully all is normal & Twilight will have a beautiful litter soon.

Hello. A cat is pregnant an average of 63 days. A mucous or slightly discolored discharge could very well indicate that your cat is in the early stages of labor. She may still be a day or so away from actually delivering her kittens, but it should be soon. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
