Question
Hello. We just bought a 10H pony. We have discovered she is pregnant. We were told that there was a chance she could be. Her nipples protrude  a little bit and we can squeeze out a little milk. Her stomach shows some and the bottom of stomach is enlarged a little. We are going to see a vet soon, but am searching for advice.
Thank you.

Answer
Hi-This really sounds like youre going to have a baby pretty soon. Some mares wait to bag up fully after the baby. If beside her tailbone is sunk and her hips are sticking out,shes very close! I would have a vet look at her to give you an approx. due date. Thanks and best of luck with your mare and baby!!!
