Pregnant or not?

[KITTY83]

These are from today. No changes in the belly for me. Never felt a movement. When I try she doesn't like it. I really think I'll not see any foal.

Just went back and re read your thread. Seeing as your not sure of her history and weather she may have had a foal or not before, I would say that there is every chance she is pregnant. She may be carrying the foal higher up if she is a maiden.

Now I think its time you saw "The photo"

Hopefully Chanda will be on sometime soon and will post it for you. It really goes to show that a mare doesn't need to carry the wide load look to be pregnant

Her Mare is a prime example not to discard her pregnancy possibility , just yet

One other thing before I leave work for the day is as she draws closer to foaling there will be less room for the foal to move and less action.

Cheers Ryan

thank you for the answer, I'll wait for "the photo". I will look for changes in shape and behaviour. This anxiety of not knowing is driving me nuts!

As per Ryan's request, I know it's become a favorite...

Here's Tana first thing in the morning:





And, Tana, right after lunch:



If memory serves me, she was 307 days

Sorry it took me awhile, I've been quite busy lately, nothing fun or exciting, just painting the outside of our house.

Wow! thank you for the image. How was the udder? This morning everything was as usual. The udder is still soft not full at all.

Some mares don't bag up until they foal. Diane (Castle Rock) says to look more towards her vulva and how her stomach looks. If there is concern that she will foal with no milk you can get your vet to give her a shot. Just give him/her a heads up.

Thank you very much! This "not sure" pregnancy is driving me crazy!

I really don't recall what her udder was like, it was 3 years ago, and she was maiden so anything was possible, as you can see.

Here some pictures from today, everyday more sure about her non-pregnancy.

Pictures from today

 

[Ryan Johnson]

She looks to be elongating and her udder looks to have grown a little.

Will be interesting to see what Diane has to say

 

I'm going to say some positive changes. She appears to be elongating -- shape seems to be changing some, and her udder certainly looks different. So, I'm still feeling positive.

Here is a picture when I've got her

Sorry it's here

Updates from today!

Her udder seems more full, even if in the evening is a little bit smaller

 

[Ryan Johnson]

She is looking good and I agree her udder looks fuller and she is elongating a little more.

When you have a chance, can you take a pic from behind and down at her level so we can see how the foal is currently laying

 

Looking good!!! And yes, please, to the picture!

This from today's morning!

Yesterday she was rolled 4 times in few hours. She seems pretty tired when she moves.

 

She is moving ahead just beautifully!!
