day 339 still no foals and sweetys udders dont seem to be getting any bigger

so the crusty dry stuff on sweetys nipples is wax ???????????? i dont no never seen it before

 

[lucky lodge]

Just got home from work and she seems to be breathing heavy and lots of tail swixhing

but not acting restless?????????????

some up date photos from today

her vulva is much longer but she moved and then the batteries went flat

I wouldn't describe wax as being crusty and dry. It always looks smooth, blocks the end of the nipple and feels quite solid. Plus if you see wax you should have a foal within 24 to 48 hours or less!

She is looking VERY close, I would say a few more days at the most. bwdik

 

[Lindi-loo]

Yayy

here we go Sweety..she looks ready to go..Im gona say some time soon lol

[lucky lodge]

:No-Sad

 

[LittleBittyBritches]

[lucky lodge]

heres hoping... havent got any wax yet she waxed up last foal so she should wax up this time yer.... or no or maybe????????????????????...

 

[AnnaC]

If she is going to wax up then her udder will be full to bursting, probably shiney (skin stretched tight) and teats milk filled to their ends. What she has now on her teats is just a crusty bit of milk secretion - wax looks exactly like candle wax and will 'hang' down from teats to around an inch in length, BUT because it is 'firm' you will often miss seeing it as it breaks off as the mare moves and very often they foal before more wax is formed.

Sweety certainly looks as though she could foal at any minute, but her udder is not yet 'tight' enough to form wax, so dont rely on her waxing before she foals. Mind you she could 'fill' that udder easily in a day or two and then you could get wax before she foals!!

This is all getting so exciting.
