Silhouette's up on Marestare

She's due 2/28 but vet say she'll go early. Just not sure how early. She's streaming clear milk and is flagging her tail a lot. Still very wide though. Need watchers as I'm a nervous wreck that I'm going to miss it! Sire is Frodo and hoping for a spectacular foal! http://www.marestare.com/fcam.php?alias=phoenix" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

[quote="Monsterpony"]I was watching until I fell asleep last night.[/quote]
Me too, around Midnight...unfortunately, imho, most mares like that 12-4 a.m. time frame (you know the least convienent for the owner and vets :-t ). :roll: :lol:

Saw her mucked out and now bandaged up - she does look ready. I will watch till I go to bed and when I get up which will be your nightime. ;-)

LOL. She's got a nice bed and we're ready for her. I think it'll be within the week?
I was ready to rush out last night as she was on her side and kicking her hind legs like she was having some contractions. Then she went back to eating.
Around 6 this morning she was on her side and stretching her neck out with her head tilting sideways and her lips stretched out. Then she got back up and started eating. LOL
She's not going to make this easy on me.

Her milk is still clear and her butt isn't totally mushy yet, so I think we still have some time. Famous last words. LOL

Ooh, the kicking like contractions could be the foal moving into position, which happens in the last 24-48 hours or so. I bet it'll be before the week is out.

I'll have to take some pictures. Her butt is still round, but it seems like her belly has dropped. No V though she didn't get one the first time around.
It'll probably be on Wednesday when I have my first accounting class, we're going to have a source inspector in, and we're going to be seeing Jeff Dunham.
So yeah, Wednesday! LOL

Hey MS started a thread for you. They like to start one for anyone close. It will get you more views. Let me know if you'd rather it not be there and I'll ask them to take it down (I talk to the mods nightly).

Obvious stage one labor. Pacing, up and down, tail out or off to the side, phlemen, etc. Just multiple obvious signs of early labor.

I was almost positive that there would be a foal on camera when I got up this morning from the way she's been acting the last two days. She sure is teasing us.

Andrea Mon, 01/31/2011 - 11:51

I know! Her butt isn't sunken in yet and clear milk, so I'm not totally worried yet. But boy, she was either dreaming or having some monster contractions last night!

I have her video stream up on full screen on my laptop sitting on my desk in the office. Several coworkers now know what MareStare is and have been wondering in randomly to see what she's doing. She better pop that foal out soon!

Krickette Mon, 01/31/2011 - 19:45

yeah, a bucket with some poo near it! She looks fabulous! I didn't know who it was when I first saw the post, haha. I was like..Who's Silhouette? When did she get that mare? Then I realized it was Silo, haha! I forgot what Silo stood for!

Woah! she just like SLAMMED her butt against the stall door! Over and over!

I'm enjoying the drama with her neighbor. We should have randomly marestared her a month ago to get a 'control' level for how she normally behaves ;-)
