how long in labor??

[illinidairychic]

I've been checking on Mocha since yesterday was her due date and I've noticed her showing signs of labor for about 3 hours now, she lays on her side with her leg up and then will stand up and huntch up. she hasn't had any hoglets and I'm wondering if I should be going to an emergency clinic??? Please help....

Well now she is frantically taking mouthfuls of bedding into her igloo. I think she's going to be fine :)

Worry if she is crying or you see alot of blood, otherwise you should see babies soon.

she's just downing a lot of water, and continuing to nest.

Without meaning to I fell asleep last night somewhere around 2ish, I jumped to my feet this morning to the pleasent sound of hoglets, mind you there were 9 in the room before hand. I carefully slid the lid off of Mocha's cage to give her fresh food (she dumped it all in her mad nesting last night). I heard a few squeaks and some loud suckling!!! :) it's going to take a lot longer to see how many there are....She's only sort of a mealie fan :dunno: And she seems to be the nesting queen since she built it comepletely around her on all sides. My apartment is now filled with the awesome sounds of hoglets :winkgrin: I can hear them through out it!!
