Bridgie's Lambing Thread-More Finns

Sometimes they will shut things down for a while after being moved as well.

Thanks Remuda! She doesn't seem to be straining or pushing, so I don't think she is in active labor. I don't think she presented any water bag. I thought I saw something coming out of her this afternoon in the field, but I also thought I saw #26 lose her mucous plug...two weeks before she kidded. I'm beginning to think I'm starting to see things that aren't there. Call it an active imagination.

I think I'll wait a bit.

My ewes will kind of get a hitch in their exhalations when they are big pregnant. It's kind of like they are saying huh-uh, Huh-uh.... How much discharge does she have? Is it a rope or a string?

 

[bonbean01]

That's true...after being moved that can happen. Hope all will be okay with her and her lambs!!!

The link shows diagrams which I liked....since you can't see inside and are going in the dark. It helped me when I felt the nose and no hooves...both legs were back...only managed to get one leg and hoof up, but it did the trick.

Maybe she is taking a break and will go into active labour soon!

Mucous plugs can be creamy too.

I'd be on the lookout for lambs!!

The discharge is only a dab, about 3/4" Is not a rope or a string.

I'm going to go look again right now. BRB. If I'm not back quickly, she is having a baby!

 

[Remuda1]

LOL, girl you are going to wear yourself out . Sounds like she's doing fine. For me, unless they are on their side pushing HARD and yelling loud, without ANY progress, I won't go in.

 

[Remuda1]

Uh oh..... She's not back yet!

 

[Remuda1]

Good luck Bridge!!

I'm HERE! Don't panic everyone, lol. Ok good news! She was standing, not grunting or moaning. So it must be difficult for her to lay down. She was chewing her cud and eating a little hay. The discharge is now getting longer and stringy and clearer. So, it looks like lambs tonight! Maybe, ha ha. I have my lube and luckily I bought some latex gloves today because we were out and I suspected I might need them.

The fat pregnant Tunin was laying in front of the stall door though so I couldn't get in! I had to relocate her with a shove. haha.

Ok now, so Remuda, can I borrow your webcam so I can lay in bed and watch the lambies being born ???
