Did a quick check this evening as I rinsed her off and got her in her shed-her hind end is a lot more puffy than yesterday, but still no change in the teats (only that they are getting bigger each time I see them!) and still getting clear fluid from them. I'll do one last good check before bedtime.

My last update for the evening, I got the heat lamp placed and ready, still about the same status. Her teats are STILL filling up! The vaseline seems to be working THANK GOODNESS! No discharge or mucus from the hind end. Hopefully I can bring more exciting news tomorrow!

Tulip is still about the same, her teats keep getting bigger but no sign of milk yet. Her hind end is still getting poofy. She was up around 3am this morning to drink and eat. Will report later on...............

I believe after a nice relaxing evening in her mud bath, she is settled in for the night. Really nothing more to report. 'I felt the earth move, under my feet' when she plopped down after getting her turned around to her, well, best side?

Morning check revealed nothing new. However, her front teats are filling up more now.

I do believe that Tulip is in labor. Her hind end is bulging and it looks like she is starting to nest up by her head since she doesn't want to get up!

I would be very surprised if she didn't farrow by this afternoon or evening. Her last litter she started birthing around 6:30pm or so. I had fed her that morning and she was as normal as could be. By that evening she was ready to go!

She has changed positions and looks like she is making herself comfy....possibly nesting a bit?...Cant wait to see those little piglets!! I don't think her changing positions was nesting. The only sign she is showing at this point is milk, which I can get if I milk the teat, it's not coming out on it's own yet. Still no secretion from the hind end.
