Shes fast asleep in her corner now. She always is when I check in, I miss all the action.

Honeydragon · 28/06/2011 18:11

Oh is it back?

cookielove · 28/06/2011 20:48

She's not asleep at the moment, i assume she is eating as her head is off camara, but she is up and mooching GIVE BIRTH QUEENIE

Disasterpiece · 28/06/2011 20:50

Shes gone back to her corner to doze. 1 minute after you posted. I think she sees me coming...

cookielove · 28/06/2011 20:53

Ha ha, i just flicked back on, and found her in her corner, Geeez she is tooo predictable Hmm

Sleepingonthebus · 28/06/2011 23:39

Queenie lying down now. Is this it maybe?

Disasterpiece · 28/06/2011 23:44

Its off air now.

think that must be the first time shes lay down though. [hopeful]

FlorenceDaphne · 29/06/2011 19:36

She's looking quite restless and there's a lot of tail-lashing going on...

cookielove · 29/06/2011 19:42

Disasterpiece - i've seen a her lie down before although still no baby

thisisyesterday · 29/06/2011 20:20

oooooh is tonight the night?>

she's been swaying from side to side, lifting her tail up, pacing about....

thisisyesterday · 29/06/2011 20:21

keeps lifting her feet up over and over

cookielove · 29/06/2011 20:42

I see the body swaying, there has been some feet lifting, and some head shaking, but she is in her corner and she may stay there forever

Disasterpiece · 29/06/2011 21:03

Ive not been spying on Queenie tonight. I accidentally got engrossed in the mamazon thread.

thisisyesterday · 29/06/2011 21:05

me too disaster.... it's um, well, it's interesting isn't it!!?

every now and then i suddenly remember poor old queenie and have to come on here and find the link and go and have another look lol

EveryonesJealousOfGingers · 29/06/2011 21:13

I am ignoring Mamazon thread, Queenie is looking quite agitated I think

Disasterpiece · 29/06/2011 21:26

thisisyesterday Link is here for quicker reference. Smile

everyone Im trying to ignore it too but its not working. to be honest it had run its course after about 10 pages.

These things have a tendency to run round in circles dont they?

MortaIWombat · 29/06/2011 21:52

Poor old girl. Can't they let her out into a yard or something - the exercise might help bring things on. Surely this is the equine equivalent of being made to stay on a bed during labour?

disclaimer: have only owned a gelding, and know nothing about the whole foaling side.... Grin

Very excited, though.

Disasterpiece · 29/06/2011 21:58

She goes out all day. She comes in in the evening and stays in all night.

EveryonesJealousOfGingers · 29/06/2011 22:01

I read the first few posts and as soon as TDWP was mentioned I was outta there. there is a lot of poison going on and I have no idea what has triggered the ban, nor do I wish to. I find it all very bizarre, that people get so emotionally invested in an online forum.

Anywhooo - you do all know she will foal at 3am don't you? All this checking back every ten minutes is absolutely pointless, yet so compelling!!!

Disasterpiece · 29/06/2011 22:06

Of cousre we know she will pop her foal out at 3am. They always do. Doesnt stop us watching though Grin

The site says they are recording too so they will link to the birth for us all Grin

cookielove · 29/06/2011 22:07

We must check back, we must, we must

EveryonesJealousOfGingers · 29/06/2011 22:08

Oh cool! I would so love to see it live though.

thisisyesterday · 29/06/2011 22:27

3am you say???

EveryonesJealousOfGingers · 29/06/2011 22:29

Might be 3, might be 2.46 - I don't have an actual crystal ball you know!!!

Disasterpiece · 30/06/2011 11:16

4 little piggies are born!!!!!
