Does she look pregnant?

[Youngfarmer2019]

She’s an Idaho pasture pig…if she were pregnant I’m not 100% sure how far along she’d be. I just noticed teats and around them start to swell (milk?) and her lady parts as well

Yep.
If she's not it would be awfully odd.
As for how soon...I'd say soonish, but not until you decide she's just going to be pregnant forever...unless you're not ready for piglets and then it could be tonight.

Depending on how quickly she's changing and if she's had piglets before I'd say within the next week to two weeks, but possibly just within the month. Pigs are hard to guesstimate.

Yep, she definitely looks like it. When was she put in with a boar?

I don’t believe she’s ever had piglets before, she was 7 months when we got her which was idek how long ago
She started up some stringy clear discharge this morning, it’s a lot too….hanging down in thick strings and constantly glopping out…gross but yea that’s about the description you’ll get

She’s BEEN with a boar, I’m not exactly sure when we got him….

 

[Youngfarmer2019]

I certainly was NOT ready for piglets, the boar was 8 weeks old when we got him…fresh off his mama, the breeder told us he would not show any interest in the girls until at least seven months old so we put them together (at the time we did not have any way to keep them separate)
He’s been with them ever since…

Ahem, well male pigs are fertile at 3 months . Females have their first heat between 7-9 months, sometimes later. Our kunekunes start a milk line probably a couple months into their pregnancies, and about 24 hours from farrowing, you'll get drops of milk if you squeeze her teats. One of ours also went off of feed the night she gave birth (and as we all know, that is extremely unusual for a PIG.) You'll also see abnormally swollen girl parts. I don't know what to think about the discharge...except that maybe you'll have piglets VERY soon. Ours never had any discharge until they were giving birth, literally.

Probably 2 weeks off at most... first time gilts will swell a bit before and the udder needs to get more swollen and tight... if he has been with them ever since you got him, then why would you even question that she could be bred, or be surprised that she is???? If young buck goats and ram lambs can breed at 3 months... and you don't keep them together ... which only encourages the hormones to become more active... Whoever said that about the male pig is not very well versed in their actual abilities... we always separated our "large breed" boar pigs by 3 months... and they tend to take an extra month or 2 to be fertile...than the smaller breeds... Gilts can and do come in heat as young as 4 months, most by the time they are 6-7 months...

Well, the girls should be old enough to breed. I’m surprised that they are pregnant because we got him at eight weeks old and I was told that he wouldn’t attempt to breed them for the next couple months…yea I’m a little surprised, but not worried because they’re big healthy girls. I’m new to this, we’ve certainly had pigs before, but they were always feeders.

I just looked back on the messages and we got him six weeks ago
