[tessybear]

[OldNag]

Well, I'm revising my guess AGAIN (I've had two which have expired). Going to stick my neck out and say she'll have it tonight... Go Tessy!

Sloppy poo is a good sign. I mate had those a few hours before foaling.

 

[Thistle]

Sloppy poo is a good sign (or poss just because the grass had sun on it today). Means that there is more room for the foal to pass through if the rectum is empty, mother nature at work.

Any sign of milk or wax?

 

[tessybear]

Is it ? Eeeeek it smelt bad nope no waxing/ milk

 

[Thistle]

The fact her tummy is a bit smaller could mean the foal is moving up through the pelvis ready to make an appearance.

When my last mare foaled we watched her on cctv, she kept exactly the same routine with her eating and sleeping etc. Around 4am I saw he flex her legs and just wondered if she was pushing. Ran outside and there was a small football sized bag showing. foal born les than 20 mins later.

I milk tested her and knew that it would be that night so daughter did first shift watching and I took over at 2am.

What about smoking foalie out?

 

[Racergirl]

The last foal that Red successfully had (before she was mine), she was checked hourly by my friend on the cctv - she woke up for one,turned it on and Red was in the corner happily munching her haylage, next hour she'd had it.... first one my friend has missed in 20 years of breeding - even she was suprised how fast it happened !!

I completely missed Po's birth - didnt think it was going to happen at all so thougth Id get a whole nights sleep for a change - there he was the next day. grrrrr

 

[Dustygirl]

Come on Tessy

 

[Toast]

Can I ask how you are checking her? Are you going out, turning lights on and talking to her ect? This will stop her from getting on with things if you are..

 

[Liath]

Oh! I have a strong feeling it will be tonight! Come on Tessy and Theodore/ Theodora!!

 

[_GG_]

Can't believe how often I am checking this thread! Really hope good news is on the way soon. X

 

[Beausmate]

[Patterdale]

[Clannad48]

Morning all. just checking in (again). I was really hoping for a foal this morning, I have a First Aid course today and will have limited access to the internet.

Come on Tessy, we're all waiting.

 

[Boxers]

Morning everyone.

No Abbie yet? No foalie yet?

Just off to drop elder daughter off at bus stop, then see to Jay, then take younger daughter to bus stop and will then check back here.

Tess better have had him by then!

 

[OldNag]

I was absolutely convinced it would be last night. I can't take much more suspense.
