April / Delilah / Vernica's Foaling thread Cam Up

[a mini dream come true]

The milk test still shows a 6.4. I think she is hung on that number. Her udder is still full & warm. Her hooha is darker red inside. Don't know if it's from the rubbing. If you saw me out there, you saw how she wouldn't let me get a good look at her from the side. She kept wanting to put her head in my lap. It is trying to rain again so I better get them fed. There are no new changes in Delilah or Vernica. But Little miss Daniela loves her new stall.

Oh and I almost forgot April doesn't feel like she has a fever, but under her mane it was veryClamy almost like she was trying to sweat.

 

[AnnaC]

Dark red, clammy skin, could be early labour???????????????????????????????????????????????????

 

[a mini dream come true]

Me too, but right now she is parked

. I'll see if I can get her moving somehow.

 

[Eagle]

Hmmmm I wonder if she will wait for us to get up Anna? I am off to try and get some sleep but I doubt I will get much as Izzy is acting strange.

 

[AnnaC]

Oh Renee, what do you mean by strange? Is she ok?

Yes I hope that April will wait for us to be around - she IS of course going to foal TONIGHT!!

 

[a mini dream come true]

Thanks for the positive thoughts Anna. I'm praying she foals tonight. G-son and I kept telling her to have her foal tonight.

Renee, I hope Izzy and all the pups are ok. They are all so cute.

morning all, hazel just so you know im watching but just not typing much, she has been very quiet all night

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

I think she is waitint to showcase her first foal of the month of may

 

[AnnaC]

5.15am and she is just HOOVERING!! Surely there cant be any spare space in there for food????

Sorry Hazel, I dont think we are going to see a baby now before daytime - she's just too relaxed. So we wait another day!

 

[a mini dream come true]

Hubby is suppose to feed this morning. So far I thinkhe'S LATE like April

 

[a mini dream come true]

Has April been fed yet? Maybe hubby has the right idea. If he's late feeding april will gsget more exercise walking back and forth to check

 

[cassie]

What?! Still no baby?!! Come on april!!!

Well I will be watching again hazel... April please have your foal now pretty please??

 

[a mini dream come true]

If at all possible, April's belly has dropped more. Her milk is testing 6.

We will see what tonight brings. The foaling manual has been thrown out the door on this one

. I have no idea when

, all I know for sure is that April cannot hold on to this little one forever so we watch

. Her original due date is May 28th. Anyone want to guess how close she'll get?

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

Come on April, we are all going to send a hat pin to your mommy.

 

[cassie]

well I sure hope she foals tonigh for you Hazel!!! come on April please!!! your milk says your ready so come on

 

[a mini dream come true]

I know. I'm almost afraid to hope. I dipped the strip and put it right to the chart and it was a 6 and as it dried it turned to a 6.4 . Could my chemistry have anything to do with the test? Her poo is softer, but not to the cow pie stage.

 

[a mini dream come true]

Has anyone seen her lay down tonight?

 

[a mini dream come true]

Definately not comfortable. HMMM!

 

[a mini dream come true]

Ok I give

. I've got to be up in a few hours for work. I'll be chacking in on the TV during the night and the phone is by the bed. Night all.

 

[AnnaC]

2.30am and she's down sternal, resting quietly at the moment. Will be watching for another 20 minutes then off to do my chips, back in to check again an hour or so later.
