Help! First-time pregnant horse owner going crazy

[elizabeth.conder]

Looking good! I expect that udder to fill a bit more but I bet she’s not too far off!

 

[gypsysmama]

Updated photos. Not much change and I can't extract any milk

 

[gypsysmama]

Forgot this one

 

[gypsysmama]

Hiya! No big changes today, sadly. I did receive the ph test strips and tried to get something to come off her teats but ended up with some cream crusts flakes. Is that normal? I clean her udders daily with water based baby wipes

 

[elizabeth.conder]

Very normal. I don’t really worry about it unless they are super dirty.

 

[gypsysmama]

We have a change! I haven't tried to express though.

 

[LostandFound]

That's a big change!

 

[gypsysmama]

Any thoughts on her udder progress. I'm dying over here

 

[Standards Equine]

Oh hey!! Look at that! She's starting to think in the right direction. But this could last for 30 minutes, could last for two weeks.. What's the fluid in the udder doing? Is it still quite clear or is it changing to white?

 

[gypsysmama]

I'm not able to express any fluid.

 

[gypsysmama]

We have fluid to express! I think my test strips suck because they're yellow, same color as the 6ph so it just looks wet. Anyone else use these?

 

[gypsysmama]

Here is a better one

 

[gypsysmama]

I have a baby!!

 

[gypsysmama]

I don't know what it is yet

 

[elizabeth.conder]

Congratulations!!!!

 

[LostandFound]

[Crimson Rose]

I don't know what it is yet

Congratulations!!

Oooh I saw the pH strip and I knew I was going to scroll down and see a baby!! Congratulations! I hope mama and babe are doing well. Has the placenta been delivered completely too? Now you should be able to get some sleep

And yes, I have those. It's surprising that they actually are accurate if you're comfortable using them. But you found something else that's more clear. Awe, I'm so excited for you. Can't wait for an update.
