Ridges - ITS PINK!!!

[countrymini]

Sweety's hooha looking sad and sorry today. Is this look the start of 'elongating? All her skin from her tail to her udders is darker pink now. Vulva is still pink inside with darker pink towards the entrance.

First pic is a few days ago and second is today



I'm only 7 nights into the diligent night checks and false foaling alarm alerts and decided I'm one of the 'faint hearted'

 

[Eagle]

Oh yes I can definitely see changes

It is starting to get puffy which is a very good sign of getting close

This is what you are aiming for, see how she has no wrinkles! She foaled that night

 

[countrymini]

Thanks for the pics Renee, Sweety definately has some more relaxing to do.

317 days today.....

There looks like bruising inside the vulva. Not sure if that was there before and I never noticed it. Getting easier to open wide.

 

[countrymini]

ahh, hope it happens soon. I've developed insomnia, takes me about 3 hrs to go to sleep now then her foaling alarm has been going off between 2am and 4am while she has a nap then I can't get back to sleep again. When I do sleep the dreams are too weird. Every night she has her foal but with some drama attached. Last night she had twin colts which were the same colour as Charm's filly, but then they changed and had human baby heads which for some reason was quite normal. Maybe I'm on the brink of insanity mwhahahahahhahhahaha

Your condition has the symptoms of acute marestare overdose

combined with watching too many horror movies lol

Lovely to see that video again Cassie - also interesting for folks to notice how much space Suzie had in her stable, plenty of room for her and for you to be able to help her, plus when she got up a little too fast/soon after foaling, there was still space for her to safely fall back down again and take a rest.

WOW!! That is some edema!! Now if that suddenly moves into her udder!!

Thank you Anna,

yes I love the size of my stables

Finn and Suzie fit in there very comfortably and both have room to stretch out and lay down when they want to. so happy my Dad made them the size he did

yeah that edema is looking really good! I think she might be a mare that will overnight have a massive udder then foal the next day or two... get ready! won't be long I hope she has it sooner rather then later... poor little mite will get cold if she/he cooks for too long. have you got those rugs ready yet? hope the new foaling kit thread helps with planning

excitement excitement!

wish we could help you watch... I don't think I could do a foaling now without marestare... or even having the cameras... especially in the cold LOL.

safe foaling for when the blessed event takes place

 

[countrymini]

Haven't got the rug yet. We've been having 32 - 35 degree days here so too hot but my plan is if the weather stays like this as soon as it's born I'll have a better idea of what size to get. If we start getting colder I'll get one before its born.

Coz I'm a bit mental and need to relax I thought I'd share this very important information. I now realise what I've been doing wrong.

DO NOT wash your hair in the shower!!

It's so good to finally get a health warning that is useful!!!

Shampoo Warning! I don't know WHY I didn't figure this out sooner! I use shampoo in the shower! When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body, and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning, "FOR EXTRA BODY AND VOLUME."

No wonder I have been gaining weight! Well! I got rid of that shampoo and I am going to start showering with Dawn Dishwashing Soap. It's label reads, "DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE."

Problem solved! If I don't answer the phone, I'll be in the shower!

 

[cassie]

ROFL that is hilarious!!! where did you find it? lol love it!

yeah the weather down here during the day has been amazing!! but it is getting quite cold here at night now! my cavalier Casper when he is let in, in the morning comes straight onto my bed and demands I lift the covers so he can come in and get warm lol thats my how I usually know its getting cold outside LOL oh and Penny is a fluffball can't believe how fluffy she is already! (considering she is usually the one who doesn't coat up the most! I'm wondering what this winter has in store for us...

 

[countrymini]

I know the weather is ridiculous! To give you an idea, inside we've had the a/c on, we're not using blankets at night, fan is on till at least 12pm and Sweety has started shedding again. Last kick of summer I think.

That shampoo warning was floating around FB.

 

[cassie]

wow! yeah I think your right! its lovely weather though

I'm getting so much done! just mowed the paddock at 6:30pm last night won't be able to do that once day light savings finishes...

 

[countrymini]

When does it finish?

 

[cassie]

the 6th of April I think...

haha yes it was a bit creepy.

I took this photo too coz she looked a bit out of shape. What is going on here?! There's a big ridge right down her middle where the ribs end.

Ok, so I'm very behind on myreading. And, I caught Diane's post before I paid attention to the pics.

Here's Tana and her funny bulge:



I hadn't even noticed til I went back much later and was looking at pics. [pic taken first thing in the morning.]

And, here she is right after lunch:

I've worked out how to solve your marestare issue

 

[countrymini]

haha. To be honest I don't really have a problem with trying that but I think that would be the last straw for my hubby.

Anyways I'm totally excited. Sweety has had a bit of progress during the night. Vulva is darker and hooha is much softer.

I know I shouldn't get too excited coz these holding patterns can last for weeks! Anyways, some photos.

Yesterday compared with today

 

[Eagle]

Well, if you won't get excited I will

ok I'll stop the

 

[cassie]

hahaha I will get excited too!

watch her like a hawk! won't be long

 

[lexischase]

Those are awesome changes! I am really getting excited!!! Id be posting a million bouncing smileys as well but I cant even use the tab above.

Maybe a foal within the week?! Hows her udder looking?

 

[Wings]

Now you HAVE to bring her inside!!!
