I had a post from a couple of days ago asking for feedback on my mini mare's proximity to foaling so hopefully it's appropriate that I start a new thread here! I've been watching my mare closely and she looks like she could be close but the foal is still sitting sideways and her udder could fill more (nipples aren't straight down yet). Even so I've heard things can change quickly so I've been watching her closely! Last night was the first night I locked her in the barn and was up every hour checking the camera and reading in to every move she made! Needless to say I'm awfully anxious over here! Checked her this morning and things were mostly the same except for what seems to be the mucus plug? What do you think? If that is what it is does that mean anything more or is it just another one of those "could be any time or could be weeks" sign? I haven't been able to express any milk but last night and this morning she wouldn't even let me touch her there so I couldn't even try. She has been more restless the last couple days, laying, rolling, and more needy... but then I'm also getting more restless so I could be just reading in? Ah! Going crazy here!
