Just your unsure of a rough date for farrowing keep an eye on the teats, she will start producing milk 24hrs before birth. Good luck and enjoy  :excited:

From the photos of her you last took yes I'd say she's in pig,
Some of mine don't show until two weeks before farrowing then they bag up and you think where did that come from, good luck

So today I noticed a big change. She's hanging a lot lower and she's acting a bit restless. I'm also able to secrete small blobs of milk from her teats.

Think it's getting close now!

She gave birth to 12 piglets in the early hours of this morning. Very proud of her!
