Please Tell Me My Pot-bellied Pig Isn't Pregnant

[Baymule]

Hi and welcome again,

I know nothing about farrowing pigs, but you have already received a reply from two of our “Pig Experts”. The thing that I have learned, about raising farm animals is, “Time will tell”. If you aren’t sure, just wait a while and you will find out. I currently have a goat, that I thought was bred. Her due date has come and gone and she no longer looks pregnant and her udder isn’t developing. So, time DID tell and I didn’t get the answer I wanted. Now I have to wait until next spring for her to kid, as she likely won’t go back into heat until Sept., and then it will be five months before her kid(s) are born.

Oh No!!! You were so excited about her!

That's what concerns me. I read as young as 3 months but most searches I've done say 6 months. I had no plans to breed her and if so, never that young. It will break my heart if she is. I can't contact the farm where I got her from for any additional information. The woman was killed in a freak vehicle accident a couple of weeks ago.
I will definitely post any follow up by mid May. I'll know for sure by then. I need to stop Googling. I read if bred by a sibling or father, most will be born still born or deformed.

First of all, take a deep breath, exhale, it will be ok. if she is pregnant, Mother Nature will show up and tell her what to do. Yes, she is young. Her babies (if pregnant) will not be deformed or stillborn because she was bred by a father or brother. She will have healthy, cute as a speckled puppy, piglets. We can tell that you are a good Pig Mommy and she will receive the best of care. Hang in there, we are here for you.

I KNOW!!! I am so disappointed!!! But, at least I will have Angelica’s and April’s milk. And Hope is due mid June. So, eventually, I will have three goats to milk.

Sorry to hear your goat didn't take.
I want to post some new pictures of Lucy. I'm going to assume she isn't pregnant but I'll feel better when May 15th comes and goes.
I swear when I look at her from above, she looks larger on one side than the other.

Waking up from an afternoon nap.

She doesn't look pregnant in the side view above.
May be a silly question but is this a normal size vulva.

She looks tiny. My vote is not pregnant.

She sure is cute!

I wanted to update everyone. Thankfully she wasn't pregnant. I do think even though she's young, she may have gone through a false pregnancy. I tried to upload a short video of her but was unable to. She was lying in her litter box shivering, looking miserable and seeming to have contractions. A few hours later she "recovered" and each day therafter she began to look and act like her good ole' self.

Glad she is better and not pregnant!
