Ok so this morning goldie had two edemas on her belly which is frightening but everyone's saying not to worry (haha have they met me)

He bag seemed to go down now up again Vulva getting looser.

Bit of heat in her feet though so I'm considering removing her from grazing (her deepest joy in life) at least for a few days until I see if she gets sore.

I'd go ahead and remove her from grass.

Back to normal this morning. No lumpy bits and no heat and moving much better. Foal must have just been lying on her funny! I didn't really sleep last night but she was more restless and rocking than before but then settled after a few rolls and didn't move again but to nibble so she must have shifted it lol

Sounds very positive, and good catch on her hooves! 

Yes, these babies can really sit badly some times, but the good rolls can help reposition baby and make mom more comfortable!  That and some good "butt pushing"   :)

Glad to hear she is back to normal . I do agree though to be very careful with her grass intake while this late in her pregnancy. Heavily pregnant mares can bring on laminitic episodes and I think we both agree, Goldies in that category now .

Don't think she needs any grass , she must be full from hanging out at the milk bar. Her udder is filling wonderfully :) ( our local shops, corner shops are called "milk bars" here in oz)

Have my date to go away with work (28th) so she has just over two weeks to foal. At the rate she's going she's definitely going to make that or be ready just as I'm leaving. Flip sake!

I'll have to rely on neighbours again and dad. I hate this ;(

Had stern words with her though.

Colt!

Pics in morning as I'm at work. Typical. Neighbour was at hand though as I was able to see her on Cctv and knew she was in labour.

Hurry up home time!
