My pregnant cat has brownish-pink mucus. Is this normal before birth?

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

My cat is pregnant. I'm not sure how far along. But I think she's going to have the kittens soon. Theres a weird kinda thick mucus that like a brownish pink color coming from her private area. She is acting normal, should I be concerned?

There is often a small amount of pink/watery vaginal discharge shortly before the cat goes into labour. If Kia is acting as normal, there is no vomiting and she has good appetite, you should monitor her at home. However, if there is any change and she becomes unwell, please take her to your local vets for a check.
