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

Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | unspayed

Okay so this is pretty urgent... First of all, I've rescued her from the street and I found out just a while later that she was pregnant, and that was about two months ago. She's huge now, literally. She is showing no obvious signs of pain or discomfort, she's actually really cuddly and she just ate, but when she rolled over to let me rub her belly I noticed a tiny pink shiny bubble kind of coming out of her (She also has her fur kinda damp down there, as if it's been drying at least for a few

Hello, it is normal to see some discharge from the vulva of pregnant cats. Additionally, cats may groom or lick the area during gestation and during the first stage of labor. Typically when they are going to give birth, they show nesting behaviors such as rearranging towels, looking for places to hide, and they may meow. In the second stage of labor you begin to see contractions and a shiny white membrane is visible from their vulva. Cookie may be going into labor soon. Hope this helps.
