I only have a single farrowing experience but with my gilt she had on and off milk almost a week before she delivered. You can really tell if she is close when the milk comes out in a steady stream and her udders will feel firm. Is your girl nesting? For us that was the biggest sign our gilt was close. Our pig took all the straw in her stall and piled it in one spot preparing for labor. Honestly I wouldnt be concerned as long as she is still acting herself. Reason for concern would be if she is really pushing and nothing is happening or if she has pungent discharge and in that case I would call the vet. I was paranoid about my girl but everything worked out in the end, and she delivered a big healthy litter. Good Luck! Oh and dont forget pictures when she does farrow!

She sounds close! Is she eating and drinking, moving around? Do you know what day of gestation shes on or is it just a guess?

Gotcha, sounds like she is getting ready to farrow. I would say give her space why she prepares and be with her when she births, if she allows. My gilt chased me out and was very aggressive pre-labor but after the first baby was born she let me in to assist and handle the babies.
