Oooo Lily is looking very close!! Sticky milk usually means that she could foal at any time - her udder could fill as she foals. I know you are exhausted (and frustrated LOL!!) but I wouldn't let up on the night watch if I were you - just in case!!
 
I am sooooooo frustrated LOL and very tired. but as im already paranoid about her having issues I know no matter how much I say im going to sleep i know i wont be able to. her milk is so thick that it moves very little if you tip the container...Oh Anna I hope she goes soon....im dying. Also slightly concerned cause I havent seen the baby moving in a few days now. At first I wasnt worried cause I had heard right before delivery they slow down but now its been a few days....fingers crossed!
 
OMG Lily!! your poor mummy wants you to have your baby now please?!! she is looking good, I;m hoping she bags up really fast tonight for you and foals in the next few days... her hooha has definitley loosened up... come on Lily we want to see your baby!!
 
Come on lilly you and snowball must be in cahoots! Lets go girls. Both tonight would be nice!

cassie she is usually bagged really good in the mornings. it usually only goes down a little during the day. It went down more today because she was out loose running with the bigger horses....right now its 10:37 pm and she is laid flat out....fingers crossed but Im just not seeing it for tonight

Do you have any milk strips to test her?
 
well i didnt know about the 1 drop test you guys use until i started this thread. I do have the mother natures mare foaling predictor kit. It takes likle 1/2 tsp to test so I havent used it to much. Last night the ph was in the 40% chance of foaling. I think im going to by the pool test stripes so I can actually read the ph level.

Thanks Diane for addressing the non movement....it was really starting to worry me sincce it has been so long. I pray your right and that filly fairy shows up here in florida soon. She was laying down most of the night lastnight but im hoping she was getting so rest to be ready to go tonight! when i get the ph testing strips ill let yall know
 
Im waiting to see if her bag holds today....was kind of concerned about the purplish color at the bottom of her hooha but its since gone away. She laid alot lastnight so I think that may have been why the that area looked the way it did. I hope she does go today.
 
Looks like she should go today ! Good luck for a safe and perfect foaling

2minis4us you have no idea how I hope your right. i am worn out completely. I have been watching her since she was 300 days along...started checking every 2 hours just for safety sake....never thought she'd make it this long. We are at 347 I really pray she goes soon. Her bag seems to be holding so far. Ill check in a couple of hours. milk is the same yellowish very thick and sticky.
 
Shes to busy being a hoover vaccum cleaner with the hay in her stall. Positive thinking though....maybe tonight. Ill post update pictures tonight around 7 and see what everyones thoughts are
 
Just checked her bag it seems like its holding where it was this morning.....maybe itll be tonight. ill post pictures this evening so we can all compare and see what we think!
 
Her hooha has elongated more but I think her udder has gone down very slightly. I would do a check in a few hours to see if it has come back. I really don't think she will be long now
