My cat just gave birth. Is it normal to expel a placenta-like sac?

Question

My cat just gave birth yesterday everything went smoothly. She had 4 the 3rd was underdeveloped still pink so needless to say it wasnt alive. But 3 healthy ones. Shes been fine eating drinking nursing protecting using litterbox. Everythings good. But today out of no where something that looked basically like a tampon but half the size came out and attached was a sac like the placentas. But she hasnt been overly bleeding. Should i be concerned? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed | 2 years and 5 months old | 7 lbs

I would nor be concerned at this stage. Multiple placemats can be expelled at the same time and this is what you may have seen. As long as she is able to nurse the kittens and is eating and drinking well, I would just monitor for now. If she becomes lethargic or inappetant then I would get her checked by a vet. You can have an ultrasound performed to ensure everything is ok. If you notice excessive bleeding all of a sudden, I would get her seen as soon as possible. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
