The Tessy bear BOGOF thread

[HBM1]

Day 12
Good evening everyone Hope you had a relaxing day someone clearly did :rolleyes

Well today was lovely and mild at 11 degrees and Tess came in a big happy hippo she seems to have dropped more today and the bottom of her belly is so very swollen she has bagged up more now so we are going to plait her tail tomorrow

an attempt at showing just how swollen the under side of her is:

Her boobies today :

Her bottom and lady bits ( sorry i cannot resize if eating and/or squeamish look away )

And this was prior to having her bottom cleaned so again sorry

And finally i found that this angle makes her look like a waddly whale

*Token photo*

Lordy! I didn't think she could look more pointy than last time, but she really is...everything is slack, prepare for lift off I say!

 

[Wagtail]

I think she could be a week or more yet. At the start of this thread I said two weeks or more, bit I still think a week or more. Her bag is not that full yet and her vulva, though relaxed could be more so. Have you been able to extract any milk? Mind you, I am no expert, and they can surprise you!

 

[Gloi]

I can't remember if you've said before, but do you know how many foals she's had in the past?
You must be getting tired by now, watching her. I still think it looks like a few days to go.

Our mare was not pointy, there was no wax but dropped the foal in the early hours of the morning. They're all different.

 

[debsg]

My mare did not bag up or wax up the night before Jasmine was born (Christmas morning!) and, since the vet had guesstimated the due date in February (she was a BOGOF foal ) we missed the event totally! And she definitely wasn't a prem foal. The mare was very chilled and showed no signs. To say we were gobsmacked is an understatement! Thank goodness nothing went wrong.
Wouldn't it be lovely if Tessy had a Foalcam and we could all tune in and watch MiniTB being born?
Hope you get some sleep, Abbie Night - night xxx

[Cheiro1]

Morning Aunties! Another check in for this morning!

 

[benson21]

Take her for a brisk walk (or waddle), feed her lots of curry....what else can bring on labour??

 

[Dizzydancer]

Pineapple!fed her gallons we need a foal! I bet she is loving all this attention!

 

[Sandstone1]

Im sure foal will be here soon, must be by weekend surely!! She cant get much bigger poor girl

 

[Polos Mum]

I'm loving all the 'get labour started advice' (curry, walking, pineapples, 'Time' with OH etc.) as I'm preggers and I've been threatened with early induction (which I don't want at all) so I'll be putting all these into practice soon
Who'd have thought one thread could be so informative !!

Thanks Tessy!

 

[Wildforestpony18]

Just checking in this morning! Still no baby? Darn it, I was sure I'd be seeing foalie pictures this morning! Hope Tessy isn't too fed up bless her. And I hope all is well with you Abbie

 

[RaYandFinn]

Checking in... Got really excited when I saw 130 pages... Still no babba! Come on Tess!

 

[Buds_mum]

Eeee tessy awaaay!! I even dreamt that foalie had arrived. How sad

 

[tessybear]

Quick update No foal as of yet can you imagine if she was 2 weeks over due ? I think i would end up force feeding her pineapples and attempt to make Scooby the big girl more manlly
