Hello! No baby news to bring i'm afraid. Day 351 now. Still very active and she has been very restless over this past week. Lots of bum rubbing, rolling, kicking belly and peeing! Still round too!!

Day 351:

So glad to hear from you that all is ok

So glad to hear from you that all is ok

We're fine, thank you all for asking!

 

[MountainWoman]

Yes, good to hear from you!!! She's looking like she'll foal soon.

A little sweaty tonight and more movement by her tail and a couple of strong kicks, no normal bouncing though - Is that something to worry about? Baring in mind, baby is usually VERY active.

She is having another check at 7

 

Perfectly normal, and I'm quite happy baby is settling down and getting ready for delivery. We don't really want baby moving all over the place and changing his birthing position, so this is good news!

Sure hope so, wish he'd hurry up! She doesn't seem to have a very big bag at all and no wax.. few weeks yet would you say?

 

[MountainWoman]

I think it's good baby isn't bouncing as they get quiet before they are born. All I can say is my mare Wish didn't bag and didn't wax - just got a huge belly and had a healthy, beautiful foal. All my other mares have gotten giant bags and looked like they were ready to explode. Every mare is just a little different so I'd be watching closely as you have been doing.

We missed you!

Missed you all too. I didn't feel like I had anything important to add so sat quiet for a few days. Hoping baby is here before the weekend!

Gladto hear all is well with you and Missy (she looks great by the way!), you will have to forgive us, but we all get worried when we dont hear regularly from one of our friends! You just need to post "All is well, nothing new to report" or somethng similar to keep us happy!

No worries! I shall update daily

Missy is so close!!

And also looks fab modelling her new rosettes!

 

[AnnaC]

Oh yes it wont be long before baby shows itself!! Will the lady (or someone) where you board be able to help you keep watch?

Beautiful rosettes, where did she win those? But she will win the biggest prize of all when she produces this little baby for us all to coo over!

She won them via an online photo competition - Great fun!

She is being checked every 2-4 hours at the moment. Do you think we are talking days or weeks regarding baby?

 

[AnnaC]

I wouldn't say weeks by any means, days yes, possibly a week, but then maybe not that long!! How's that for an answer LOL!! I think she will fill that udder some more, and baby could possibly drop a bit lower/more forward (not easy to tell without her two front feet being square), but once those teats fill - then watch out!!

Looks like days to me as well and definitely not weeks. I love the rosettes and congratulations on winning the contest!
