My 2-year-old sphynx is currently pregnant. My male sphynx who is 1 is the father. I am nervous about the pregnancy and birth as I have never been through this process before. I love her very much and want to be as prepared as possible. I have already notified our 24-hour emergency vet that we believe her to be pregnant. I have also been trying to watch videos to educate and prepare myself. Any advice or tips are appreciated. Thank you
Advice please

@HayleeA , welcome. most of us do not have breeding experience. echoing to reach out to the breeder you got them from for mentoring, advice. are yours HCM scanned? sharing a link:
What to expect from a responsible sphynx breeder
.glad you are researching and definitely reach out to your regular vet. also, from what I do know about breeding, it can be expensive, vet visits, follow ups, kitten care follow ups, unforeseen complications like c-sections sometimes etc. save as much as you can on your new journey. sending hugs n positive vibes to mum n babies.

I do appreciate your kind comments. Unfortunately my breeder ghosted us a year ago. No idea why. I have reached out to our vet at least. They were both hcm tested and negative. So far our vet said because she is healthy and at a good age we should be fine. I have anxiety and want to be extra safe with my favorite cat. The cost doesn't matter as long as my baby is safe. I wasn't planning on her being pregnant but they were not fixed quickly so I knew It could happen. Thankfully our 24 hour vet can do c sections and is aware of her pregnancy. Postivie vibes to you all
Thank you for your advice. I have reached out to our vet. Our breeder ghosted us a year ago for reasons unknown. I have another breeder near by I have contacted.
