No...not at all. 6 week kitten fetuses are small and it would be difficult to feel a lot of activity through the abdominal wall at this stage. If you are very worried..the only way to determine if they are all okay is through an ultrasound. Individual heartbeats can be seen. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach
