Missy's Foalwatch Thread

Most obvious sign of imminent baby is milk either as droplets or actually dripping from the teats. You can buy a predictor kit which will tell not when she will foal but when she wont if that makes sense. If she hasnt had a foal before I reckon it will be quite a bit longer yet maiden mares bag up anything up to six weeks before they foal

Noooooo ..I will be on holiday in 6 weeks ...she must have this baby long before then ;)
 
Just going by her bag I'd say she still has a few weeks to go. She has pretty much no bag yet so I wouldn't be camping out just yet lol! You could be there a while! If you want to know when the baby is imminent then milk testing is the most reliable way of checking. It's cheap and easy to do and so long as you are capable of reading results then it will serve your sleep pattern well :smile3:
 
Going to check on her in a short while, excited and nervous. I would expect her to be a few weeks yet but then again she may surprise us all! Still guessing piebald colt :)

As expected, still no baby.
We still have a bag and lots of kicking from baby. Weird to watch kicking by her tail too!! :o
She is in on a night so we're just keeping an eye. Yesterday, she spent most of the afternoon pawing at the ground, kicking her belly and rubbing her bum, she also did this throughout the evening. I actually sat up with her until 2:30 this morning expecting her to foal. But no, just restless :(

Aww bless thanks for the update, hopefully the foal will make their eagerly anticipated appearance sooner than later - she must feel uncomfy with her active baby & it can't be doing your sleep any good - so fingers crossed the little one arrives very soon. Take care

Tell me about it. Currently laying in bed with a headache and feeling exhausted. Woke up at 6 and had her done by 6:30. Feel pretty zoned out!! I will be gutted if by some miracle, baby comes tonight and I miss it!
 
What does the base of her tail feel like? It will go REALLY slack and squishy 24 hours before she gives birth...

All in good time as they say lol. You won't miss it! Your doing great and she will foal when she's ready. But the suspense is torture. I bet she's desperate to meet her baby too.
