I was home to see her today. I have pictures but they'll have to wait until I'm not on my phone. The first thing I saw when I walked out to see her was that her flanks were sunken in. Her baby was moving like CRAZY today, the most I have felt the ENTIRE pregnancy. Her pH I'm pretty sure has...

She's not progressing, so I think she'll wait for me.

Here's yesterday's update since I was unable to post. I wont have a current update until tomorrow since I'm out of town. I will see her tomorrow and my mom is on "Milk Color Watch" over the weekend. She hasn't really changed much. But you can tell she's getting tired. Every time I'm out there...

Not much of an update tonight. The mares have been in due to the rain, but hopefully they'll be able to go out tomorrow while its nice. PH test came back normal. Nothing alarming and milk is still yellowish/clear. Pictures though; Morning- Night-

I used it on two mares last year and they promptly began sweating (as sweat POURING OFF of them) and shaking. They're not pregnant right now and I didn't know if they were then, but there was a slight chance.

No update today. I did do the nail test and the nail spun a bit initially, but I settled it and stopped it so I could get an accurate "reading" and it just went side to side. It wasn't the wind in the barn either, because the wind would have blown it N/S whereas the nail spun E/W. The nail...

Night update. I bought some decent PH strips (which were $12 btw. crazy) Not much change. I just wanted to post her pictures to show her ph with actual PH strips that are current and have differentiated PH intervals. And plus, I'm pretty partial to this mare. Edit: Actually, I can tell her...

Checked her on my lunch break. Her bag has softened up considerably and isn't rock hard like last night. However it hasn't *really* gone down in size that much. Her fluid is still a transparent yellow color but is easy to expel. I did do a PH test just for poops and giggles. My PH strips are...

Let me tell you. I wasn't expecting this sudden development. She just needs to cross her legs and let that baby cook. I would feel safer if she waited until at least 320 days.

I had to go out to help put out a bale of hay for the mares and I was messing around with Bow. Her bag definitely grew since this morning when I last posted pictures and I was able to express fluid a lot easier than a couple hours ago, from both teats. So now I know it wasn't just some fluke or...

It was such a minimal amount that I questioned whether or not it was **** sweat or actually came from her teats. But yep. It was there! It's still clear and but hey. This is real. We're gonna have a baby in awhile. It was also really nice to finally feel the baby kick after such a long hiatus...

Went out to feed and she has fluid. It's not much but its there! Also finally felt Baby A kick. Its been about two weeks since I've felt it.

She hasn't dropped or anything yet. Here she was today: She bags up quick and stabilizes. Her milk came in around 320 days and went from yellow, to clear, to white in ten days and she waxed for about four days. PH tests gave us about 16 hours notice with that foal. I'm just waiting for her...

Alrighty. Fescue or not?

Here she is this morning. I haven't felt the foal kick in a week or so, and I usually try around feeding time. I don't know if I should be worried or not. I know things get a little tight in there and I won't feel too many kicks but I guess I'm more used to seeing big, bold kicks through the...

I really ought to do a nail test on her sometime, her 2011 nail test was right (filly) Just found old threads from her 2010 pregnancy (colt) and she went 349 days, according to one pasture breeding due date. Her 2011 thread on another forum has her due date for May 8th, 2011 and she foaled on...

Actually funnily enough, she was covered in the afternoon. Lol

I will keep updated. Today is 300 days, I'll get pictures of her on Monday though since I'm out of town. I also started clearing out a stall for her to use, since we use our stalls to store hay. I also need to buy some feed, if I can find what I want, I was thinking either ADM Grostrong or...

And its always the women that are the most shocked, when they learn that mares go two months longer than humans lol

Thanks. I'm beyond excited. Once her PH drops I'll start sticking close to home, since I leave town on the weekends to see my non-horsey boyfriend. Funnily enough, the non-horsey boyfriend has gotten to the point where he knows most of their names and keeps asking me when she'll have her...
