Ye gods, my cats gone and got herself knocked up

Confused

She's a beautiful pure breed birman. We've had her just over a year. We bought her off a family member who has bred birmans for years and she was from the last litter ever. She was the only girl and we had decided with them that we would keep her for breeding possibly one litter (family member shows cats all over the country). Hence why she hasn't been spayed.

She started calling in June and we kept her in for a week. She stopped calling and everything seemed fine, we let her back out again. Around this time I took her to the vet as she seemed off her food, vet gave me some overrid? to stop her ovulating as ideally we didn't want her having a littler until she was older.

Last week she seemed to suddenly explode, checked her nipples and yep pink and huge. She's bloody pregnant! I don't think she got pregnant in June as she would have had them by now. So no signs of calling and the overrid doesn't seem to have worked.

Except now I have no idea how far along she is! She's pretty big, very big pink nipples and I can feel the kittens moving around inside her so I don't think she's got very long to go.

Family friend is away for a month so is no help. What do I do?! Does she need to go to the vet? I've been reading up and it all seems straightforward but it's a pain not knowing when exactly she's due.

I've got her a nice box and old blankets for the birth, is there anything else I need to do?

Oh they are so sweet. How is mum?

She's a bloody superstar! Flops down so they can all feed, is currently snuggled up on my feet.

They're still in my bedroom but they all have eyes open now. She jumped on the bed earlier with one in her mouth (by the scruff) /land just dropped it on my lap Shock like oh have you seen what I've got kind of thing!

I picked it up and put it back and she just huffed and went to sleep.

How old are they when they can walk and get up to mischief, or does it vary.

About her putting her baby on your lap.
I love the way animals show off their babies. I remember taking dd to the safari park and this camel had been blessed with a gorgeous little calf, and she brought him over to us to see him. I was a crying.
