If her PH level is still high, maybe she will wait a day or two. She has already fooled me a couple of times, thinking she might be going into labor. I have decided I am def. no good at judging by the sm pics. LOL

They just braided the lower part of Ralphies tail and have been in there checking her. Maybe she is getting ready.

Ralphie's hindquarters are much more prominent too, that is another good sign :wink: As well as the extra bedding they have put down in her stall :D:D:D

Whoever did the braiding has been in & out for the past hr. checking her butt area and feeling around so maybe she is in labor. Hope all is okay.

I don't know if she is in labor, but her milk may be testing high, and they check to see if her vulva is red and swollen, I believe. They don't usually start rolling and laying down until they are close. As well as pooping really often.
