[lucky lodge]

hi cassie hows your holiday

going when do you get back..think sweety must be hanging on till you get back to LOL LOL

 

[Wings]

lol! Maybe all the mares will wait for Cassie so she can watch

:rofl

 

[Lindi-loo]

Sweety what are you doing

Iv had my rotten cold for over a week new and been feeling really sorry for myself n still no babies for me to look at and drool over

 

[cassie]

naw poor Lindi! hoping you feel better soon!

haha well I wish we could watch Sweety foal! its gonna be one mega cute foal!!!

 

[lucky lodge]

has anyone got any ideas of way sweety was acting strange last night

laying down get up and doing this for about 2 hours it was like she was in labour

but nothing happened

 

[Eagle]

baby could be moving or have moved into an uncomfy position?

 

[lucky lodge]

havent seen and fetal movement for the last few days hope all is ok

 

[Wings]

I've noticed with my foals they have gone pretty quiet near the end. Probably out of room!

 

[lucky lodge]

Iam hoping thats what it is i think if there was any thing wrong with the foal

sweety would be very sick.......yer

 

[Wings]

As far as I've been told if somthing goes wrong with the foal you will usually see somthing. The mare will act odd or uncomfortable or will go off her food. It's one of those times where it pays to know your mares!

But if EVER in REAL doubt (not general paranoia!) check with a vet. I'd rather have mine out here 5 times for nothing then to miss the 1 time I needed him.

 

[Eagle]

I agree, better safe than sorry but it is quite normal to not feel much movement at the end due to lack of space. Some foals are just quieter than others, I had a filly this year that I hardly ever felt moving but now she is out she is a little monster

 

[Wings]

I used to feel Fantasy's a lot when she was smaller, now I see very little if anything. Fantasy is just lopsided on a different side!

 

[lucky lodge]

Iam sure everything is fine iam just a stresser

sweety is eating and be her normal self

 

[Lindi-loo]

I noticed no baby movements the last few days before foaling and was very worried

but im sure its just because theres no room left in there for kicking around anymore as Anna assured me..will be very soon now..I guess shes been preparing herself with the feeling the need to get up and down and just be restless in general..you know her better than anyone if you think theres need to be worried I would agree better to be safe than sorry but im sure theres no need to worry..that cutie baby will be here any time now

Day 343 and still no foal

this waiting game is killing me

:impatient:

:impatient:

OH i seen little foal movement today

 

[Eagle]

who knows, maybe tonight will be the night

 

[Lindi-loo]

Yay glad you got to see a little something its enough of a worry all this waiting maybe you will feel a lil happier knowing baby is still in there somewhere lol

come on all you babies

 

[Eagle]

This is why I stopped pasture breeding cos it made me into a nervous wreck

You need someone cold to take a look, my hubby for example couldn't care less about my mares foaling and he will look at an udder and tell me whether we should waste any sleep

I prefer to sit up for nights

 

[Wings]

Amen on the pasture breeding, I like having dates to aim for

I hope these girls hurry up, I want the filly fairy nice and busy when Twinky foals so I get my colt

 

[lucky lodge]

LIndi loo gunna have another guess on when she'll foal LOL

if sweety does;nt foal tonight i will take some more piks for you;s

tomorow
