Hi
unfortunately it is difficult to say. usually cats don't look pregnant until the last few weeks of pregnancy. this also the time when their behavior starts to change. they may become more affectionate than normal or take themselves off to be alone. it all depends on the individual cat.

Please see this page for more on the process etc

Tummy rumbling is not an indication really but the pink nipples etc could be an indication that her body is preparing for the arrival of kittens. All you can really do is wait to see when she starts to show, then you will know she is a few weeks away from giving birth.

best wishes kate
