Any updates on Gypsy and Reds progress or did I miss another thread? How are Izzy and Coco's baby? I just saw you had a red bag with coco!

Ok. She also has been extremely itchy, maybe from the shedding but also, she's not eating all her grain at dinner and that's her favorite! That started about 3 night ago but every night she's leaving food in her bucket. Been feeling real anxious. I really appreciate this forum! Thank you!

Is it safe to say if I can't express anything from her teats , she's has a ways to go? Or, is it possible she won't have milk to express until the day or hour of? I'm obviously keeping a close eye but I fear I'm gonna miss it and she has complications and I won't be there to help. If I knew...

How's she looking? Still unable to express

Thank you for responding so quickly. I was feeling nauseous something was wrong. I've been walking her every night since daylight savings. I guess I should step it up and walk her in the morning.

Help! I just noticed this lump at the bottom of her belly. Is this normal or should I call my vet? Also, new udder photos from today as well as a rear shot

I am also worried about catching it. From what my vet said, Gypsy is likely a maiden. I want to be on high alert when signs are imminent. Not sure if that's possible but I want to make sure I'm there for the birth in case she has complications.

Nothing comes out when I express fluid. I'll continue to check but maybe that's a good indicator she's got a ways to go?

Nothing is coming out of her teats. I tried tonight when cleaning between her udders.

Anyone able to tell me how close she is? Udders tonight and she didn't eat all of her dinner tonight.

They look further along than gypsys. Here are hers from last night and now they're somewhat even. No longer one bigger than the other. We still have a ways to go huh?

Also, one is slightly bigger than the other

Can anyone tell me if Gypsy looks close? Or is it edema

Ohh wow. That's a big change!

Oh yep, my girl is snapping a lot on her side belly. Also one udder is much bigger than the other and rock hard. Is that normal? Both are rock hard just one is bigger.

I have a question for you pros! I see a lot of posts that one of the signs a mare is in foal is she bites at her back belly and rubs her bottom a lot. My mare does this but I also notice my neighbor's mare does this as well and she's not in foal. Is this a myth? I also read that there is a...

😩

For sure. I'm not only new to foaling, but I'm also a first-time horse owner. There is so much to learn and words I've never heard before that I have to google. That's how I found this forum and it's been wonderful.

Thank you so much for this advice. I just went out to check on her and I can't express anything from her teats, nothing comes out. So, I must have a ways to go then huh?

Is it normal to have one udder slightly bigger than the other? Today progress photos if anyone is interested
