Great news that you managed to get some milk - even a drop!!

Earlier Laney was right down at the far end of her enclosure and had sort of disappeared into the gloom, but now (4.20am approx) shes back eating her hay - looking good!

Morning Megan

Morning!

Day 315! Laney's belly looks like it dropped even more last night. Check out this VERY nice 'V'

Her udder looked like it went down when I messed with it and it refilled last night. This it is this morning

I really can't believe her belly looks like that and she doesn't have a full udder? She can't possibly hold that foal in that position for 3 or 4 more weeks?? Or can she? lol

I have the Mother Nature's foaling strips. I won them off the fishing game on LB last year (YAY!) You do have to dilute them but last night I didn't and it looks like it actually tested right. I am so excited to use them! I really do hope she bags up in the next few days. That belly is looking ready!

 

[a mini dream come true]

WOW I say that's a "V"

 

[bannerminis]

WOW that really does look like a good V. Will be interesting is she foals and bags or bags just before she foals

 

[MeganH]

You can see little drops on her nipples. Not sure if this is just because I milked her last night or if she is beginning to wax a tiny bit.

'v'!

The fact that she is producing milk now is very exciting.

I used the mother nature strips last yr and loved them and I never measured anything. Just used the cup to collect a 1/2 to a teaspoon worth and then just added a few drops of the water a quick swirl, tipped the cup to the side and dipped the strip.

I also did it without diluting and got the same result. So I think your result is correct. And I also noticed that one patch could match foaling range and the 2nd non foaling so I would divide the percentage which really still puts them closer to foaling. Thats how I did it anyway LOL

WoW that is a "V" if I ever saw one, can you try and take another photo of her Megan more central In the future we can use Laney to explain what the "V" looks like

How exciting

 

[MeganH]

Is this a little bit better Renee? I got down on her level for this one.

 

[MeganH]

In this one her belly looks small but still in the v shape

 

[a mini dream come true]

WOW! Megan you have got to be excited!

It won't be long now til you have that little one to play with.

Hope you don't mind I'm going to "hi jack" your pic so I can compare Delilah. I know she doesn't have the "V" now, but someday.

 

[MeganH]

I am so excited!

Laney is not staying out to graze.. she keeps coming back into her paddock and munching on hay and walking around.. Not normal for her.
