Ohh wow. That's a big change!

Oh yep, my girl is snapping a lot on her side belly. Also one udder is much bigger than the other and rock hard. Is that normal? Both are rock hard just one is bigger.

I have a question for you pros! I see a lot of posts that one of the signs a mare is in foal is she bites at her back belly and rubs her bottom a lot. My mare does this but I also notice my neighbor's mare does this as well and she's not in foal. Is this a myth? I also read that there is a...

😩

For sure. I'm not only new to foaling, but I'm also a first-time horse owner. There is so much to learn and words I've never heard before that I have to google. That's how I found this forum and it's been wonderful.

Thank you so much for this advice. I just went out to check on her and I can't express anything from her teats, nothing comes out. So, I must have a ways to go then huh?

Is it normal to have one udder slightly bigger than the other? Today progress photos if anyone is interested

Haha yes, that would make me crazy! I love lurking these forums because I know im not the only one going stir crazy.

Wow, I just figured out how to view your thread and saw your new baby! So cute! Her udders changed so much from Thursday night to Saturday when she foaled. I can't believe how fast that can happen.

Ugh, that can be nerve-wracking.

Can we get udder pics? I feel like my mini is just as close to foaling as yours. I just like to see where others' progress should be this far along.

Also, how do I get to mare stare?

her teats feel full in the AM then flimsy by the end of the day. I'm not sure what i'm feeling for in her udders though.

Udders today, 3.20. Any thoughts?

Ugh, so possibly may? Do you see any visual signs of foaling? I honestly have no idea when Gypsy was bred. She had a big belly in May which made everyone think she was in foal but she couldn't have been showing that soon. She's also very chubby which i'm working on too.

How far along do you think your mare is? What signs is she showing? Gypsy hasn't had had prgnacy tests or blood work. Friday would have been her 4th vet 2 ultrasound and 2 palpate confirming so I'm feeling confident in the pregnancy just not the due date. Been waiting almost 9 months since the...

What is in the bed stages mean? Sorry I'm also new to being a horse owner in general. Lots to learn!

Ok awesome. So just sit and wait now? Based on her udders do you think a few weeks? Days?

Udders today. Does it look like she's getting a bag?

Thank you for responding. I really appreciate it. I was so freaked out I had the vet out again ($230 vet call). She did palpate this time and felt the baby and felt it flutter! She can't tell me when she will deliver but I'm happy to know she's still got a baby in there. Exciting you're...
