Overdue pregnant cat wheezing?

Question
Hello. I have a pregnant cat that is less than a year old. I'm unsure of when she got pregnant, she escaped when she was in heat for a few days. For the past two and a half weeks we've been expecting her to go into labor because she is so large, her sides are so swollen in her pregnancy it seems as if she's going to burst, and it only seems to be getting worse. She eats and acts normally but she has gotten so large in concerned. Tonight while I was petting her she was purring and suddenly had a fit as if she coughed or wheezed an I automatically was worried becaue I've been worried she's been overdue for so long. Besides the strange cough/wheez tonight she has acted extremy normal, if not more lovey. I'm worried something is wrong though bcause of her size a d lack of nesting an labor symptoms. Any help would be very gretly appreciated I'm very worried but do not have the money to take her to the vet unless it is an emergency.

Answer
Hi
Unfortunately if you are not sure when she actually became pregnant it can be difficult to estimate when she is due. if you can remember when she got out and assume that this was when she became pregnant then she should be due  around about 61 to 68 days afterwards. use this as a guide. if she is past this time then i would definitely recommend that you take her to see a vet as soon as possible especially if she is having fits etc.

I have a web page about cat pregnancy which contains more information which you may find of help
