Hello, its normal to have intermittent discharge during pregnancy. Typical cat pregnancies are normally between 45 and 60 days, therefore if she seems to be doing otherwise ok, continue to monitor her. You should see Bella begin to nest more often (gathering towels, toys, and finding places to hide) when she is close to delivering her kittens. You will also note enlargement of her mammary glands and a drop in her temperature. Hope this helps and best of luck.
