Daisy's foaling thread-MAIDEN

[andrea loves minis]

yes I wish I had marestare too! I am VERY excited..just hope all goes well. Her bag has really filled in the last day. She is not her usual self-not sure if it's baby or the storm we got yesturday. Is it possible for the ph to drop from 7.8 to 6.8 in a couple of hours? I swear she was 7.8 at 8 a:m and she is a definate 6.8 at 7:30 pm tonight.

just tested Daisy again and it's inbetween 6.8 and 7.2 this morning. Hopefully she doesn't have this baby today I have to work until 6 pm . Knowing her she's just waiting for me to get down the driveway

Wow she looks text book ready I hope she waits for you to finish work. Prayers for a safe and easy foaling.

yep she waited for me...good girl that she is. She has lost her mucous plug or at least some of it. Testing a dark 6.8 though doing an awful lot of biteing at her sides and is VERY cranky-I think she tried to nip me when I was testing her milk and that is so not like her lol. I think I'll be sleeping in the barn for the night

Daisy hasn't been making any progress at all. PH has actually gone backwards, anywhere between 7.2-7.8 that is soooo frustrating!!!!

However we are getting alot of bonding time lol....

Thanks Diane!

is it normal for a mare to completely regress? Daisy is testing 8.4 the last couple of days, her udder has deflated-I can still get some fluid though, and she has went from the dropped position to completeyl sidways again..should I be worried?

 

[andrea loves minis]

anyone?

 

[Eagle]

I shouldn't worry too much, my mare Odette is doing the same. Has the weather changed? Here it rained all last week and it turned really cold so I wonder if that is the reason. Maybe the foals are pintos and the extra art work is taking time. Lol

 

[andrea loves minis]

Thanks Renee..it has been storming here the last few days....I just hope nothing is wrong

 

[Eagle]

Can you post some new pics when you have time? Thanks

 

[andrea loves minis]

as soon as I get the kids to daycare I'll get out there

 

[Eagle]

Thank the lord for daycare ROFL

 

[andrea loves minis]

Totally agree Renee. We are very fortunate to have daycare out here. Here are some new pics of Daisy. Her udder is still down but not as much as the last few days. Baby is doing a lot of moving. The last couple of days it was completly sideways and today I think it dropped back I think. She has me so worried, I barely slept last night. ********Sorry having troubles posting pics I will try tonight after work**********

thanks Diane, I guess I was panicked yesturday...Daisy almost looked like she wasn't in foal(must have been hiding that baby well) when

I checked on her yesturday morning the baby was sideways, came back for another check and it looked like she wasn't preggo no dip in the middle or sideways. Plus with her udder going way down.........just put a little scare into me lol
