What a Day! Mai seemed to start her labour yesterday when she displayed the clear string we all expected, she was uncomfortable through the night, Textbook right!? Hmmm well early morning Mai became more restless and more fluid appeared, but not a lamb in sight.
Couple of hours of little pushes and then some big pushes, still no sight of any lambs.
Now do we panic??Yep! We checked her internally to feel what was going on, when Lara confidently said “correct presentation” what a relief! Until her faces changed and said “I can feel a third leg, oh no make that four!”
What a mess Mai lambs had got themselves in,
Some manipulating, pushing and pulling, we managed to pop the head out of one and hopefully the correct set of legs, first out was Lord Louie a whopping great boy, and coming out backwards was Lady Lillibet! We couldn’t believe it, a slow and stressful start but they were both breathing and alive! Success, but certainly not Textbook! Thankfully we acting fast otherwise we would be telling a very different story!
So proud you of Mai.
Thank you Lara without you it could have been a very different ending.
