Expecting our first piglets: Babies are here

[mysunwolf]

Best be careful not to make the piglets squeal once they're here, sounds like Priss is going to be a very protective momma!

You be careful she can be more dangerous than a rino at this point .

Don't you worry, I am keeping my distance while im watching her.

Shes very quietly resting on her side. She is also breathing quite deep, but not fast like it has been. Her legs are twitching every now and then as well. And then my dad walks in opens the "people snacks" and the pig starts having a temper tantrum about being left out.

A girl has to keep up her energy to get through birthing babies

For some reason they like farrowing in the dark Guess it's wild instinct

Today is Priss's due date however no babies yet, but she has been really mean to me lately.

I think she is waiting to give you a B-day present on Friday.

I don't think it is going to be tonight. Maybe tomorrow at least I hope so. She has been resting all day, not really straining at all, and no discharge. Everything I read says milk is present 12-24 hours but she has had significant amounts since monday. She has all the signs except the actual babies. I think resting all this time is just like the calm before the storm. Either way I am dying to meet these babies. Ironically enough last year on the second day of the big march snowstorm is when my ewe unexpectedly lambed sooooo(wishful thinking I know).

What do you guys think?

Friday.
