What are the signs my pregnant cat is going into labor soon?

Question

I noticed that my cat was pregnant in 10-15 October. Since 15 October I could see that her belly was bigger. Than in 1-5 Novomber her belly was really big .Now I can feel her babies and I can even see them moving. She isnt searching for a place and she isnt agressive with other cats.I dont know since when she is pregnant.So i wanted to know what is the cats behaviour 1 week before she has her babies or are there any signs that I can tell when she is going into labor?? Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | 6 months and 18 days old

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Cats are pregnant for 60-63 days. When cats are pregnant they tend to be friendlier. Sadly there are no specific signs to indicate labor until Stage 1 starts, which is nesting. I would keep her indoors and consider keeping her in a separate room. Cats like privacy and can delay the birth of kittens after some are born up to 24 hrs. Keep people and other animals out of the room once she starts going in to labor. Milk can appear with in the mammary glands up to a few days to 1 week before labor. I hope this helps and I wish Macka the best!
