[breezebayou]

Breeze was bred sometime between May 13th and 16th of last year. She is Tennessee walker/morgan cross, and the stud was registered Tennessee.
For the past week she has been kicking her back legs, laying down getting up, pacing, yawning, her bag is filling, her vulva is softening, she bites at her sides, and still no baby. This will be her first foal.
Here is the side view of her before pregnancy


This is from today

it probably wont be too long. is this her first baby? she is way more pointy in the pic from today compared to three days ago. that means the baby is getting into postion, butt down and front end coming up. is her bag that full in the evening still?

she is at the same stage as my mare right now. my mare is a maiden though, her milk is also kinda see through yellow. right before they foal it turns white, but as far as i know that varies mare to mare.

[breezebayou]

Yes her bag is probably fuller in the evening than throughout the day. She is a maiden mare, and you are right she really is more pointy. Her vulva is really swollen today and the inside is a darker scarlet color. She breathing very heavily. Thanks for the reply maybe we can PM and compare notes!


Last night udders.

[BPH]

hows your mare doing?

my mares bag was even more full than the morning last night and really warm. milk comes out of it pretty easy now, its not sticky yet though, its kinda starting to turn more yellow and not so see through. her vulva is way longer and swollen looking too...

[breezebayou]

She was doing the labor dance all evening, swishing her tail, kicking at her tummy, looking at her tummy, even sweating.. Her backend is still sooo loose she fumbles when she walks.. you can shake it like jello. Her vulva is really loose too.. and still NO BABY.. Her udder is still very full and still a touch of wax on the nipples, and its shiny which is new since yesterday. Other than that, she is acting NON pregnant again this morning.. talk about giving us fits!

Thanks for the update.. Guess its a race to the finish! Oh the crease in her bag is really filling also, and her nipples are turning down. Didnt check her milk this morning as I was down there by myself, and she really protests.. LOLOLOL

Is the milk supposed to be sticky? white or yellow? Seems every site online says something different.. I guess when the foal comes the answer will be there!
This mornings pic of udders


Its really nice to have someone to share with.. !!! THANK YOU!

i think its supposed to be clear until b irth then it turns a milky color i do believe. cant wait to see the foal!

[breezebayou]

Oh cool, well its definately clear sticky and streams out when you squeeze gently.. as it dried in the cap we had, it turned waxy, like crystally.. I can't wait either!!

[BPH]

two hours ago when i fed and locked up i gave my mare a good once over again too. she now has very cloudy milk that comes out easy. she also had SLIGHT amount of wax forming. she is currently eating her dinner (we are watching our tv in the bedroom) but she keeps pivoting around kicking at her belly and flipping her tail up inbetween bites.

hopefully your mare will go tonight! goodluck!

[breezebayou]

Wow from what I have read the white milky milk is the last milk they get before they foal, and means its imminent.. I DO HOPE IT IS FOR YOU!!.. we are not quite at that point yet!! i am soooooo excited for you..

[4hooves4me2]

Ummmm...I wouldn't be milking her to check her milk...she needs that left alone. She has colostrum in her first milk for the baby, and if you milk it all out 'looking' at her milk that isn't a good thing.

I hope all is ok with her-I would keep an eye on her.
