Mildred's babies....

[Fran]

Well what a long night/day it's been! Mildred started to have contractions at 4.30am this morning she delivered baby number one at 5.39am, two hours later and many contractions later she was tiring and it was obvious that she wasn't going to deliver the next baby. Got her to the vet and she had emergency C section at 8am this morning. The vet thought the baby she had been struggling to deliver would have died, it was breech and presenting very awkwardly plus which it turns out her cervix was not fully dilated, heaven knows how she managed to deliver that first baby :? The vet staff were able to resuccitate the stuck baby. So................She is proud mummy to 7 kittens :shock: (don't think anybody guessed that many?) but we are not out of the woods, the babies were very sluggish following the anaesthetic and are proving difficult to latch on for feeding.
Just want to say a huge thank you to Kay who was there on the other end of the phone for me at silly oclock this morning. Thank you Kay x

Not entirely sure of sexes yet it hasn't been my priority but she has..
1 Oriental black tortie girl
1 Oriental blue tortie tabby girl
1 Oriental black
1 Oriental blue
3 Siamese.

Will post some piccies later ;)

[yola]

Oh my goodness, what an ordeal for poor Mildred and for you! I hope the babies all gain strength and energy quickly.

And well done Anuty Kay for being on standby when needed!!

[Jac]

which one was the first and which was the second causing all the trouble?

The first kitten, the one born at home was the blue Oriental tortie tabby. It was a Siamese baby holding up the proceedings!

Oh how lovely! At least Bliss is on hand if Mildred needs a break, that is very lucky!

Trust a meezer to cause the problems eh? :roll:

Hope everything goes plain sailing for you all now they are here Fran!

[borderdawn]

1 Oriental black eh? ;)

[Fran]

1 Oriental black eh? ;)

Yup just the one and I think it's male although I'd have to double check that as only glanced over their private bits earlier :shock: :oops: :-D

Am I missing something....ladies?

[yola]

Fran that picture of Bliss and Mildred nursing side by side is just the most wonderful image!!

[Kay]

Well done Mildred and you Fran. They look a fantastic litter and Mildred looks quite settled now. Bliss is so good reassuring her. Can't wait to come and see them all.

Give them all a little kiss from Auntie Kay.

[charliebubs]

Thanks for the text earlier Fran - I didn't want to miss the excitement!!

7 is an amazing litter!!!! I really hope that they go from strength to strength. Lots of love and hugs to you and Mildred.

I love the pics and the one of Auntie Bliss helping out is fantastic - reminds me of Lily and Abi!!! ;)

[Elaine]

Where's my basset hound pup eh?:shock:

Congratulations to all of you xxx
Poor girl, imagine 7 crying babies, my worst nightmare:lol:
Glad she is doing well and the babes too.

[sarahd]

lol @ Elaine

I think 7 kittens is quite enough without having to produce a basset hound pup out of there too lol

Congratulations Fran and Mildred on such a gorgeous litter. You certainly are going to have fun around christmas time Fran when you have the whole lot of them running around and causing havoc.
Will the christmas tree be up this year i wonder lol
Was Bliss actually nursing some of Mildred's babies for her?

At least now you can rest and take it easy Fran. Good luck with the babies and hope they continue to do well and get stronger. Looking forward to the updated pics.

Not sure about the Christmas tree yet!!! :shock:

Yes, Bliss was nursing Mil's babies for her. Mil was a little sore and unsettled after the section and wasn't keen to feed them at first, so Bliss hearing their hunger cries ran to their rescue :roll: :lol:

[Jac]

[babycakes]

Poor Mildred (& you), what an ordeal, hope she and the little 'uns are all doing ok today.
Congratulations to you and Mildred they are soooooooo gorgeous

What a fantastic auntie Bliss is that was just the best picture I have ever seen brought a tear to my eye.

Well done Mildred we are very proud of you X (auntie Di & Denis)

[dandysmom]

Bless Auntie Bliss! Loved that pic. Hope all are thriving and mum's feeling a bit better after the ordeal. Can't wait to see the pics, especially the first blue girl!

[Fran]

Aww thanks all! The babies seem to be doing very well, some have gained weight some have maintained birth weight but no weight losses and considering the C section that is very good news. Mil has taken to motherhood very well, she's very protective of her babies but is happy to let Bliss in to help her :cool:

Eileen, the blue torbie girl is lovely, nice big 'wingnuts' at present :-D You can see her tabby markings coming through quite nicely and I think she will be a spotted tabby as I can see tiny little spots on her sides but her tortie markings may take a while to come through, she has to be a tortie from this mating, so it will be lovely to see how she colours up. I will try and get some piccies of them before they really start to open thier eyes.

Thank you all for your good wishes :cool:

[EmmaG]

awwww well done Mildred!!!! more pics please :)

[Fran]

For you Eileen, the blue tortie tabby girlie, as I said her tortie markings have yet to colour up...

She is lovely!

I can have the blue then? :-D :-D :-D

[Sweet]

Congrats Mildred and Fran and Family :) x

[Fran]

One of the babies is not looking so good today, it's lost a little weight and just doesn't seem right, I'm making sure it gets plenty of time at the milk bar without hassle from the others and I have topped it up a little this evening but I think serious healing vibes are needed for this baby :( We always new it would be unlikely that a litter of 7 would survive but the really sad thing is this is the black tortie girl that hubby wanted to keep :( Out of 12 kittens between both Bliss and Mil, we only have the two girls and it's just sod's law that the one that doesn't look like making it is a girl :(

[dandysmom]

Oh how sad, Fran!! Sending healing vibes for the little one....:(

[borderdawn]

Everything crossed for her here Fran.

[Grete]

Oh bless her :( Sending very intense healing thoughts and vibes for her and you all. I hope she pulls through.

*hugs*

[smudgley]

How is she today?

[Fran]

Thanks for all your good wishes.

Smudgley, she's still quite alert although rather weak and hasn't put any weight on. She looks considerably smaller than the rest now. Realistically, I don't think the outcome looks bright for her :( Just about to give her a little top up feed now.

[smudgley]

Hope she picks up today. Sending good wishes your way.

[Fran]

Thank you Smudgley.

[Kazz]

What a shame. Hope she picks up but I imagine its harder when they fall behind even a little.

[borderdawn]

I hope she pulls through Fran.

[dandysmom]

I echo that, Fran; still sending healing vibes.....

[MrsH]

Healing thoughts from me too, I hope she gets through this.

[charliebubs]

Oh gosh Fran - sorry to hear this news. I do hope that she pulls through.

Lots of love and hugs to you and healing vibes to the baby. Keep us posted.
xx

[babycakes]

Big big healing vibes coming your way Fran. I hope the little girl is foing better today XX big hugs to you all ((((()))))

[Mags]

I have only just seen this thread Fran and am so sorry to read this..:(

Intense healing vibes being sent to the little one, I do hope she pulls through.....

{{{{hugs}}}} to you and your family Fran... xx

[sarahd]

Hi Fran
Just catching up on this thread too. I am so sorry to hear about the baby hope she gets stronger and pulls through. There is nothing worse than when you lose them.

My thoughts are with you and sending lots of healing vibes to the baby

[Fran]

I'm afraid I have lost her :( RIP sweetheart, I tried so hard for you and I know you knew that and knew who I was. Play hard at the bridge, Lucky will take care of you x

[dandysmom]

Oh, Fran... :(...I'm so sorry. (((hugs)))

[Grete]

I'm so sorry Fran :( You did everything you could for her, and then some.

*hugs*

RIP little girl, run free at the bridge with all our beloveds.

[yola]

So sorry Fran. It's heartbreaking to loose them when they are that young. You did all you could :(

[Kazz]

Sorry to hear this Fran.

[borderdawn]

Oh dear Fran, very sorry. How are the others?

[Jac]

Play at the bridge little one, bless.

[Fran]

Oh dear Fran, very sorry. How are the others?


They seem fine at the minute Dawn, putting on steady weight gains. Still early days though. They are a week old today.

[random]

Poor little one, so sorry Fran. :(

[charliebubs]

I'm so sorry Fran. :(
