Yes, rats give live birth.
The rat does give birth to a live young but at a consequence. When the rat gives birth the young is trapped in a poisonous sack just like the placenta. The rat will free its young by eating its own poisonous sack, but will die due to the build up of acid. The young will then feed on its mother to get strength.

No.Kangaroo rats are placental mammals (unlike rat-kangaroos, which are marsupials), and give birth to live young.
If your rat is nesting and starting to get nipples, she may be pregnant, but it is possible that she is having a 'phantom pregnancy' where a rat show the signs of being pregnant but doesn't give birth to offspring.
Rats give birth to live young and suckle them.
