Poor thing, who'd be a woman, regardless of species.

Not for this stage of labour I don't think, this is the second stage, think it's the first that can take hours.

Not that I've been watching harrowing videos on youtube reading about it Grin

Shit look how small her belly has gone.

Back legs are out!

piprabbit · 12/07/2011 23:43

I don't think it's going to take hours now - I think there's quite a lot of foal already out.

AmyStake · 12/07/2011 23:44

Oh this can take hours too? Bugger.
