I posted about a week ago about my mare who went to stud last year in June and was in foal but when scanned the vet couldnt find foal, anyway he was out on the 1st to do her teeth and took bloods as he was convinced she was still in foal due to her shape and size she has gone up from a 48 inch girth to a 54inch since Christmas! bloods came back negative but she is acting out of character and getting bigger and bigger so you guys asked for pics so here they are sorry they arent very good, David Bailey I am not....

I would keep an eye out too, one of ours scanned in foal and up until about 6 weeks ago was still gallopping around looking like she'd had a great winter but not a patch on my other one that is 2 days in front of her. Over the last 6 weeks her belly has gotten BIG and she's bagged up so I'd work on approximate dates from when she was covered and allow a month or more before I gave it up as a bad job.
I worked at a yard years ago and a new pony was on a permanent diet because different vets were convinced she wasnt in foal until they had to admit either she was or she had some serious worms wriggling around in her enormous tummy!! She had a huge foal if I remember correctly.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you x
 
My mare was scanned not in foal, manually felt not to be in foal, and then after a winter of hard ridden work porduced a lovely filly foal!
She looks very in foal to me!! Good luck!
