I have noticed some new changes in her behavior. She is in a different pen then the other 2 mares, but can still see and sometimes touch them. On thursday her belly was moving around quite a bit. I guess the baby was getting situated. Her milk is still testing kind of low around 250. On friday she was pacing around, stomping her feet, yawning. Her vulva has started to turn more reddish on the outside and even a little redder on the inside. With her having mottled skin its even easier to see the change. It has been getting longer too. Her utter is still the same in size and color. It seems to go down in size in the evening hours. Milk is a little more white in color still testing around 250. I layed down in the stall to see how she would react to me being in there with her and she did fine. She normally doesn't go into the stall to go to the bathroom but this time she did. She walked right in there and went pee and walked right back out( without me being outside). Then she peed 3-4 more times when I was laying down, in about a 20 minute time. I thought she was going to go into labor but eventually started acting like she was having an anxiety attack so I let her out. I think she started acting that way because my husband came outside. Not too sure though. She's been kind of clingy to me too. But it may have been because she was getting her itches scratched. I just don't know
