Darla's official foaling thread.

[jessj]

Yes same consistency. I noticed it when I was bathing her and washed it all away. I fed her and then put her out to pasture for a few hours after that . When i brought her in I noticed the clear. The reddish brown was possibly a little bit thicker...

I saw signs of the mucus plug almost a week out from Twinkle's foaling, but she seemed to progress quite slowly through the changes.

 

[jessj]

It was similar to that...the one on the crayonbox site looks almost purple-ish...this was more reddish brown. But it was still on her vulva so it could be that it just hadnt dried as much?

Cassie: I think I can do that ....that would be so cool! I could sleep AND not miss anything. I always miss these things.

 

[jessj]

Poor D...she can't get comfortable. She usually lays either sternal or flat and stays that was for a while...tonight she is back and forth.

 

[wingnut]

Is she breathing hard/fast? I can't tell if I'm imagining that or not.

 

[cassie]

yay Joy

then you can see

WHEN some of our girls foal tonight hehe

poor thing Jess, she doesn't look very comfy at all

 

[jessj]

did you see her just now...sternal /flat/ roll / up pawing/ and back sternal?

 

[cassie]

ooo! no I was trying to make my lunch lol

 

[jessj]

I'm getting old and just put my old lady back cream (aka tylenol precise) on...it smells horrible and makes my hands tingle. I just went and scrubbed my hands and put my bra back on just in case!

 

[cassie]

she is back down flat now...

 

[cassie]

now sternal then flat again....

 

[jessj]

stopping the cam for just a sec to work on it... will be right back!

 

[jessj]

running again! no color, but much clearer!

 

[anyssapark]

I had to pop out and get some things, but sounds like poor Darla hasnt been real comfy. Im back to watching for an hour or so now before i have to go bring mine in for the night.

Down flat now - using the gate as a pillow lol

Absolutely it could still be the mucous plug Jess. I have seen it quite a few shades of red/brown/pink and one that was almost brown/green

Hopefully she progresses nice and quickly from here and doesnt keep us all on the edge of our seats waiting for much longer

 

[jessj]

She has been very restless. That is unusual for her.

 

[jessj]

Come on D....i need some kind of sign. Are you in early labor or just uncomfortable?? If you are just uncomfortable then I am going to bed...otherwise i will be here glued to my chair!

 

[jessj]

I am giving her 20minutes longer then I am off to bed.

 

[cassie]
