I am wondering if, in my memory, I combined the knowledge of April previously giving birth with another video I watched on the 1st page of this thread because I am not finding it! Ugh!
I saw YouTube vid's of "Katie" the giraffe. Maybe it was her? lol
Okay, so I heard last week that AAP has known all along the dates that April may give birth. The dates were between 3/24 and 3/29.
there have been a lot of people attacking/harassing them and spreading rumors, so i wouldnt give it too much credit unless you heard it from someone that works there.
Oliver isn't the baby daddy??????????
I have laughed about that several times today. [emoji3]:silly:
I think we're getting close you all. I'm not an expert on giraffes though so I could be wrong :thinking: Although giraffes aren't the same as cattle or goats, I'll try to pass on some commonalities I think they have, as far as determining how close they are to delivery.
What looks like possible contractions or pushing could possibly be "bringing up her cud". The stomach forces the cud up their throat and April has a pretty long one.
The ligaments at the tailbone and below soften and lengthen out as well as her "girly parts". So instead of rounded cheeks, they will concave and get droopy looking.
90% of the hundred or more deliveries I've observed or assisted the moms "went off their feed". 95% stopped drinking any water. (Within an hour of delivery) Sometimes they still ate or played with their hay.
90% of the moms started "stringing" within an hour of delivery, sometimes started 24 hours before. The other 10% started during birth.
100% always got the "alarm look" within an hour of delivery. This is usually during contractions and they will jerk their head, lay their ears back and stare as if in a trance. Note- if Ollie alerts too then it probably isn't a contraction![]()
Is anyone able to view live? I wonder what is going on.
