Hello, you may see that Halie is still having active abdominal contractions. However, sometimes it is hard to tell just by looking at them and so an x-ray would be the most helpful in determining if there are still kittens inside Halie's belly. If you're not sure she is done being in labor then I would recommend going to your veterinarian so that they can assess her. Hope this helps
