Most important advice don't panic. They can go over by a week or so. Are you sure dates are right could it be next season so in 3 weeks. If she is producing milk though it shouldn't be long.

We find ours are normally 4 days over due date and they get milk in anything upto 2 days before hand, so long as you've separated her and got her into her farrowing accommodation she should be fine

, this is the frustrating part the waiting, does my head in....but so

.
best of luck

We had lots of milk from our first sow before she littered. the second one had hardly any - we thought we had at least 24 hrs more, went out shopping, had a leisurely lunch etc. Came back and it was all over!
