She's showing pre labor symptoms!

moondust · 05-09-2008, 04:47 PM

I stayed in the paddock with Moondust all day today. In the morning she was nipping at her sides and pawing a whole lot. Later, she stopped nipping at her sides as much, but was still pawing alot. Her bag is way full, and her perenial area looks as if the baby is right up against it! She's starting to get a little swollen at the bottom of her belly, and was also sweating late in the afternoon, and extra lovey dovey. The base of her tail and the area around it is very soft and jello like to the touch.

She wasn't eating as much hay as she usually does, but still ate all her grain.
All she wanted to do was put her head in my lap. She also did that to hubby when he arrived later, and she's never that cuddly with him normally!
I really think that labor is just around the corner, so now..we wait....

Yay, Moondust baby is coming, lol... hopefully sooner rather than later. I want to see mini Moondust. Good luck and don't watch her too closely or she'll never have it, haha.
