After a very active night last night, she's just standing around either eating or rubbing on the walls. She definitely looks lower.

She has been acting like she is in stage 1 of labor all night: restless, lots of butt rubbing on wall, yawning, acting like mild colic, then she lays down sternally and rests. I have a text into the vet, but it's 5:30 am here, and he's probably still sleeping. He said he wanted me to let him...

Oh Ryan, thank you! We have never done this, and it is very stressful! I just got up for my shift. Hubby said she has been rolling. She is so obviously uncomfortable. Now, she's just calmly standing at the food, but she paces a lot. The vet said he wants me to call him when in labor. How long do...

Having trouble uploading, sorry.

And here's two more from just now:

Thank you, Ryan! Maybe Baby was about the same at about 7.0. Here's pictures from just now:

I have assembled what I can for a foaling kit. Questions: Would mineral oil be safe to use if I need a lube? Of course, I can't get my hands on any K9 Jelly or vet gloves. And, do all of you break open the amnio-bag at presentation, or only interfere if there is a problem? And lastly, is...

Adorable!!!!!!!!!!!!! Both of them!

Milk still at 7.0 poor gal.

My mare duty started at 2:00 am. She rubbed her butt on the gate for six Andy Griffith shows, then she laid down but was uncomfortable all night. I fed her at 7:00 am. She seemed hungry and ate a little. I've seen her lay out flat, stand up again, stretch out her neck and yawn, and now she is...

Elizabeth, where is your mare testing?

Hubby just got a drop of milk out of Sally, and she's still testing about 7.1 ph on Maybe Baby. Does that mean we can go to bed tonight? At the same time? :)

Adorable!!!!!

I just took this picture. Does she looked dropped? She had kind of a restless night. She's eating now.

Anything happen yet?

Her bags stay full. Hubby and I are taking shifts watching her on the baby monitor. So, are the Baby Maybe test strips pretty accurate? If so, maybe we could sleep at night :) Here is a pic of her at 3:00 am. She's been getting up and down, but mostly she is resting like this.

THANK YOU so much for replying! I use Maybe Baby. Last night, her milk was between 7.0 and 7.2. Our experienced neighbor got the drop of milk out of her. We pretty much check the udder at the nighttime feeding. What am I looking for in the difference between morning and night? I'll check her...

Finally got a little bit tonight - not ready :) Are these very accurate?

We can't wait! My husband and I are going to take shifts watching the monitor. Since I don't know her history, or even who the daddy is, the vet wants us to be be very careful.

Thank you so much! Hubby put some lighting in her nursery room, and we got a baby monitor yesterday. So it's time to say up all night and watch the camera?
