That's scary. My girl has eight days to go. She has been at the mineral lick quite a lot lately. Anything I can do?

As long as she is eating her concentrate ration and has plenty of exercise she should be fine

and check that udder isn't too tight and hot.

Her udder is fine. Getting bigger but still softish. She spends most of the day lying in the shed but does come out every time she sees me. Her appetite seems to have lessened but I don't think she has much room in there for food atm. I'll just keep an eye on her. She was fine last time.
